Cogitate - Project Manager

WHO WE ARE : Cogitate is where insurance meets serious engineering. We build the digital platforms that modern Property & Casualty insurers, MGAs, and program administrators run their business on. Over a decade later, we are one of the fastest-growing InsurTechs in the United States, powering carriers, MGAs, and program administrators through our award-winning DigitalEdge platform. "Insurance Technology by Insurance People" isn't a tagline it's how every decision gets made. WHAT WE DO : We build DigitalEdge a cloud-native, AI-first platform that transforms how P&C insurers handle policies, billing, and claims. Built on microservices and a modern stack, it replaces legacy systems with software that's fast, configurable, and built to scale.
