About Structured Solutions

Structured Solutions (formerly US Programs) is Trisura’s fronting and program business. We partner with managing general agents, program administrators, and risk-bearing capital partners to bring specialty insurance programs to market on Trisura’s licensed, rated paper. The business combines underwriting oversight, regulatory and compliance governance, claims and policy administration, and reinsurance structuring to support partners across a range of specialty lines. Because these programs depend on sophisticated risk-transfer arrangements, the team works closely with Ceded Reinsurance on treaty placement, bordereaux, and reporting. The Business Technology Lead will support both teams, enabling the platforms, data, and integrations that let us onboard partners efficiently and manage program performance at scale.
