Is This Role For You?

For You If
  • You spent 15+ years as an underwriting or insurance ops leader at a major carrier or MGA and understand loss ratio and expense drivers deeply
  • You thrive owning a complete GTM strategy—positioning, competitive strategy, customer relationships, and revenue targets
  • You can translate complex insurance domain knowledge into clear value props for technical buyers and C-suite
  • You want to build a product go-to-market from scratch and shape how the industry perceives a new category (underwriting automation)
Won't Work If
  • You're a pure-play sales hire looking to execute a pre-built GTM; this role requires strategic design alongside execution
  • Your insurance experience is retail/personal lines only; this is Commercial & Specialty—fundamentally different risk models and buyer psychology
  • You lack hands-on experience closing enterprise deals or building customer advisory boards; this is VP-level business development, not coordination
