Referral Channel Activation: Develop reinsurers and service providers, including TPAs, law firms, and actuarial firms, as structured, trackable referral sources.
Conference & Event Strategy: Own Incline's presence at key industry events (Target Markets, PCI, AIR, InsureTech Connect, WSIA); lead pre-event meeting planning and post-event pipeline tracking to maximize ROI.
CRM & Reporting: Enhance and manage a CRM that provides leadership visibility into relationship ownership, pipeline status, and follow-through; report on KPIs across all growth channels at QBRs and board cadence.
Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with underwriting to coordinate commercial and personal lines outreach; contribute to key account strategy alongside senior leadership.
What We’re Looking For
We're seeking a disciplined, relationship-oriented leader who thrives in a fast-moving, high-growth environment.
Experience: 10+ years in business development, distribution, or market-facing roles within specialty insurance, MGA, or reinsurance.

Collaboration: Effective cross-functional partner who can influence without authority and manage multiple priorities across teams.
