We’re hiring a Founding Insurance Account Executive to grow our insurance customer base. Carriers, MGAs, and wholesalers use Heron to streamline submission clearance and let their underwriters focus on priority accounts, not data entry. About the Role: You will play a critical role in driving growth through new logo acquisition across Insurance Carriers, Wholesale Brokers, and MGAs in the United States and United Kingdom. You will be responsible for researching, creating, and pursuing new business opportunities, while also driving expansion revenue within a book of existing Insurance accounts.

Exceed annual and quarterly sales targets (Ramped quota in first fiscal year)
Own and manage the full sales cycle (e.g. opportunity creation, qualification, discovery, product demonstration, pricing and proposals, negotiation, closed won/lost, etc.) and sales outcomes
Generate pipeline at high velocity in net new insurance carrier, wholesale broker, and MGA accounts.
Travel to key conferences and customer sites to source and solidify customer relationships.
Collaborate closely and effectively with customers via a consultative, solution selling approach.
Intimately understand our customers’ goals, current business processes and solutions, pain and gain points, budgets, and business outcomes they’re trying to solve with Heron.
Communicate clearly and accurately with internal teams re: your new sales pipeline generation, current sales pipeline/funnel updates, accurate forecasting, new prospective customer requirements, and closed-loop product feature feedback, etc
Work cross-functionally with technical and deployment teams to deliver comprehensive solutions leading to exceptional customer outcomes.
Create and iterate on foundational best practice process, tools, measurement, and the critical foundations of a world-class Sales function

Demonstrated sales excellence: 3+ years in B2B sales or other highly commercial roles, with a track record of high achievement and quota attainment.
End-to-end and enterprise sales experience: from prospecting to closing, including for enterprise sales motions (i.e. experience with C-level stakeholders, complex / multi-threaded environments, third party dependencies)
Consultative and technical orientation: comfortable with deeply understanding a customer’s process and what they are trying to achieve, and how we might address it with a technical solution
Entrepreneurial spirit: an ownership mindset, results-driven and ability to move quickly. Bonus if you are an ex-founder or previous first/ early sales hire.
Be scrappy and creative: when faced with an obstacle, you will either overcome it by pure determination, or find an unusual approach to navigate it.
Be persistent: you may not always find the right answer or person immediately, but you're motivated to keep on trying until you do so. You’ll go the extra mile - including Flying to Gainesville - if that’s what it takes.
Be metrics-driven: you thrive on meeting and smashing through your targets, and are motivated by having your impact on the business measured and visible.
Excited to work in a fast-paced, high-growth, team-based environment: we aim to move quickly and decisively, but together. You’ll be a great team player, and do what it takes for the team to succeed. You value diversity and inclusion in the workplace and understand best practices for building products and a business as part of a team.

Competitive compensation, including equity and uncapped commission. Please note that advertised salary is the expected OTE of base + commission, but we do not cap commission and you’ll earn commission on every deal you work on
Based full-time, and in-person in our NYC office, with occasional travel to customers (across the country) and company retreats (often in London)
Your choice of top-of-the-line equipment to fit out your desk in our office
