CNA is a 5,000+ person commercial insurance operator deploying AI across underwriting, claims, and fraud detection. The tech stack reveals a shift toward modern cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, Guidewire Cloud) and AI-native tooling (Vertex AI, Gemini, LangChain, LangGraph, LangSmith) — signaling an active rewrite of core underwriting and claims workflows away from legacy systems (Lotus Notes, Citrix ShareFile being phased out). Active hiring in claims and underwriting leadership, paired with projects around automated scorecards and AI-enabled insights, points to a company managing complex high-exposure claims while building data-driven decisioning at scale.
Notable leadership hires: Underwriting Director, Underwriting Lead, Claims Consulting Director, AI Compliance Director, Claims Director
CNA is one of the largest U.S. commercial property and casualty insurers, offering specialized coverage across construction, healthcare, manufacturing, financial services, and professional services across the U.S., Canada, and Europe. The operational focus centers on three areas: claims management (123 open roles), underwriting (97 roles plus separate underwriting director and lead hires), and operations infrastructure (115 roles). Current strategic priorities include regional unification (Midwest), implementation of AI-enabled underwriting strategy, fraud detection methodology work, and litigation management — all aimed at reducing claim cycle time and managing high-complexity, high-exposure claims that represent the bulk of their book.
CNA runs Microsoft Office, Salesforce, Guidewire (core insurance platform), AWS, GCP, Power BI, Looker, Workday (HR/finance), and increasingly AI tools: Vertex AI, Gemini, LangChain, LangGraph, OpenAI. Currently adopting GitHub Copilot; phasing out Lotus Notes and Citrix ShareFile.
Primarily United States, with additional hiring in Canada, France, and Peru. Headquartered in Chicago, Illinois.
