The Opportunity

It’s been just a few months since we launched Sonant, and our growth has been solid. We already work with leading insurance companies across different geographies, and built key relationships in an industry that is hard to navigate. The team’s energy is phenomenal and everyone feels like we’re just scratching the surface of the huge impact we can have in the industry.

We’ve reached this point without any salesperson, and now are at a stage where we have more business coming through the door than we can handle. We’re looking for a founding Account Executive with a strong track record of selling in high velocity motions. This isn’t an easy role — you’ll navigate a hard to understand industry and folks resistant to change. But if you want the thrill of building a vision from the ground up, joining a team with brilliant engineers and growth hackers, while shaping the future of insurance – we should chat.
