  • Bundoran Group
  • New York, NY

Job Description

A well-funded, stealth-mode AI company just landed multi-year contracts with major insurance players — and now they’re ready to scale their US presence with their first Founding Account Executive .

They’ve validated the market, closed strategic logos, and built a highly technical product team. What they haven’t done is hired someone to lead outbound motion, own early pipeline, and co-build a repeatable GTM motion in insurance.

That’s where you come in.

This role is perfect for a self-starting AE who knows the insurance landscape, thrives in ambiguity, and is ready to build something truly market-defining.

What You’ll Do

  • Launch and own outbound sales for the US insurance vertical (carriers, MGAs, brokerages)

  • Drive top-of-funnel through cold outreach, event follow-up, and targeted campaigns

  • Collaborate directly with the Head of Business (US) to refine and scale the GTM motion

  • Partner with product to loop real-time customer feedback into roadmap and strategy

  • Represent the company at conferences, roadshows, and strategic partner events

What We’re Looking For

  • 3–5+ years of B2B SaaS sales experience

  • Must have experience selling software into the insurance industry (carriers, MGAs, brokers)

  • Proven outbound execution — cold outreach, follow-ups, event activation

  • Experience managing ACVs from $10K–$50K+

  • Bonus: AI or automation software experience

  • Bonus: Been part of a founding GTM team or helped stand up a sales motion from scratch

Who This Is For

  • You’ve closed deals, but love building pipeline even more

  • You’ve worked startup hours without being asked — because you’re invested

  • You’re the kind of seller who joins early, shapes the story, and earns a seat at the table

  • You’re excited to help steer the company’s expansion into one of its most critical verticals

Who This Is Not For

  • Candidates without insurance industry experience

  • Inbound-only reps

  • Career managers looking to oversee, not execute

  • Folks uncomfortable in fast-paced, founder-led environments

Compensation & Benefits

  • Base Salary: $85,000 – $120,000

  • Total Comp Range (OTE): $150,000 – $190,000+

  • Uncapped commission upside

  • Meaningful equity

  • Visa sponsorship available for exceptional candidates

  • Travel: ~1x/month to conferences or customer events

  • Location: NYC or SF preferred — remote possible for top-tier talent

Interview Process

  • Call with Head of Business (US) – background, outbound depth, fit

  • Interview with GTM Team – cross-functional collaboration

  • Final with CEO – cultural and long-term fit

Timing
This is a priority hire . The executive team is reviewing final candidates weekly and plans to hire by end of month . If you’re interested—or you’re representing someone with the right mix of grit, domain expertise, and upside—now’s the time.
