Location: New York City, US
On-site | Full-time
Compensation: $100K - $200K (OTE: $300K - $400K)
We are hiring on behalf of our client who is seeking an entrepreneurial and high-tempo Account Executive to build their sales organization from the ground up. Backed by top-tier global venture capital firms (including Y Combinator, Atomico, and Eurazeo) and managing over $100M in insurance premiums, our client is disrupting the $200B Third-Party Administration (TPA) industry. They pair an exceptional, in-house claims team with a proprietary, state-of-the-art AI platform to deliver up to 3× faster claims processing, elite customer support, and unmatched unit economics for risk carriers.
In this high-impact, foundational GTM leadership role, the successful candidate will work directly with the Chief Executive Officer to design, build, and run the GTM engine. The position requires a player-coach mentality: owning high-stakes enterprise sales cycles from prospecting to close with Managing General Agents (MGAs) and global insurers, while establishing the scalable infrastructure and sales processes needed to hire and lead a world-class team as the company scales toward $1B in managed premiums.
Our client operates a highly collaborative, high-intensity, and in-office culture. This position is based full-time (5 days per week) in their New York City office.
