Our mission is to give renters everywhere greater financial freedom to plan and enjoy their lives.

Our first product eliminates cash security deposits and puts more money back in renters’ pockets. With over $45 billion tied up in security deposits for 110 million renters in the United States alone, it’s time for security deposits to officially become a thing of the past. Tying up money at one of life’s biggest and most expensive moments just isn’t fair.

So we threw out the antiquated “way of doing things” and built a technology-driven insurance product to help bring renting into the 21st century. With Rhino, millions of renters across the country now have the opportunity to save with our award-winning deposit insurance. We’ve already saved hundreds of millions of dollars for renters and are trusted in over 1 million homes nationwide, and most importantly, we’re just getting started...

  • Join a fast-paced, entrepreneurial and collaborative team creating brand new insurance opportunities and approaching challenges with innovative non-traditional solutions
  • Develop, implement and manage a data-supported underwriting strategy for Rhino’s core deposit insurance program and new insurance and financial products

  • Instill a culture of prudent underwriting and risk management among client-facing partnerships and account management teams
  • Synthesize the output of your work to effectively communicate the core takeaways and recommendations for account managers, the executive team and other internal and external stakeholders
