About the role
- You will own new-business acquisition for Concirrus in the United States, with a focus on Tier 1/Tier 2 carriers, reinsurers and MGAs in specialty lines.
- You will identify whitespace accounts, open doors from scratch, run a structured consultative sales process and close multi-year SaaS deals while collaborating thoughtfully with pre-sales, product and executive leadership in both the US and UK.
- To begin with this is a pure sales hunter role but with ample room to progress.
- Pipeline Generation & Prospecting: build and execute an outbound strategy (cold-calls, email, social, events) targeting senior underwriting, innovation and data leaders.
- Deal Management: run discovery, product demos, proposals, pricing and contract negotiations through close with MEDDIC underpinning your sales work.
- Stakeholder Mapping: cultivate C-suite and VP-level relationships within carriers, reinsurers and MGAs; leverage your personal network to accelerate access.
- Market Intelligence: relay customer feedback and competitive intel to Product & Marketing; help refine US go-to-market messaging.
- Thought Leadership: represent Concirrus at industry forums and conferences; speak on panels and publish viewpoints on specialty-insurance innovation.
Requirements
- 7 -10 years of quota-carrying enterprise SaaS sales experience, with at least 5 years selling into U.S. insurance or specialty-lines markets.
- Documented success in a high-growth start-up / scale-up (Series A - C preferred): you’re comfortable with ambiguity, limited resources and building playbooks yourself.
- Deep understanding of U.S. carrier/MGA operating models and value drivers, underwriting workflows, reinsurance structures, and regulatory environment.
- Existing senior contacts across major carriers, reinsurers and MGAs throughout North America; able to open doors on day one.
- Demonstrated hunter mentality, consistent over-achievement of ARR targets via cold outreach, multi-stakeholder deal orchestration and creative deal structuring.
- Self-starter who works independently in a remote environment while partnering seamlessly with cross-functional and international teams.
- Willingness to travel ~50% (client on-sites, industry events, London HQ visits).
- Strong executive presence, consultative selling skills and financial acumen; able to quantify ROI and build business cases.
Benefits
- Competitive base + aggressive, uncapped commission plan.
- Comprehensive health, dental & vision (U.S. plan).
- 401(k) with company match.
- Remote-first culture, quarterly team off-sites in London or NYC.
- Budget for industry events, conferences and professional development.
