Overview

Head of Sales - Commercial Insurance Disruptor

$200K-$350K OTE + 0.5-1% Equity

Location: San Francisco

Experience: 5+ years Commercial Insurance sales

We're working with one of the fastest-growing commercial insurance brokerages in the market — they've grown from 5 customers writing $2K monthly premium to over 3,000 insurers writing $3M monthly premium in just 18 months.

They're building the future of commercial insurance — tech-enabled enough to dominate operationally, insurance-focused enough to actually serve clients. This is your chance to architect the entire sales function at a company that's about to explode and scale to $10M monthly premium by Q1 2026.

Why this is career rocket fuel

  • Build something legendary - You're not managing what exists, you're building what comes next. Think 50 people doing what traditional brokerages need 500 people to do.
  • Elite team building - Scale from 4 producers writing $3M/month to 8-10 elite producers writing $10M/month.
  • AI-powered sales machine - Work directly with embedded engineering to build AI tools that eliminate busywork (not relationships) and make your team unstoppable.
  • Meaningful ownership - Real equity upside (0.5-1%) in a company with a clear path to $120M annual premium.

Responsibilities

  • Build and manage a lean team of elite P&C producers supported by embedded engineering
  • Own recruiting & hiring top talent from insurance, tech sales, and finance backgrounds
  • Create scalable playbooks that work across different producer backgrounds
  • Drive performance management - review calls, coach teams, ensure consistent execution
  • Handle deal intervention - step in to save deals and close when needed

Qualifications

  • 5+ years crushing it in commercial insurance sales yourself
  • Experience building, managing or leading P&C producer teams
  • Proven track record scaling sales operations from early stage
  • Can close deals - you're the person they call when a big deal is going sideways

Preferred background

  • Scaled a producer team at a brokerage, MGA, or carrier
  • Built an independent agency from the ground up
  • Led sales at a high-growth insurance company

Not a fit if

  • You need perfect processes before you can operate
  • You want to manage from a distance
  • You've only worked at established companies with unlimited resources

Benefits

  • Premium healthcare
  • Meals covered while at work
  • Development budget and flexible PTO
  • Real equity upside in a proven, scaling business
