Insurance Carrier SaaS Account Executive (Remote)

Canopy Connect is the leading insurance infrastructure provider. Our 1-click solution enables insurance carriers to instantly and securely receive comprehensive insurance information from a prospect. 

Insurance carriers buy Canopy Connect to arm their agents with best in class software that positions their business to win. Canopy Connect helps agents provide trusted insurance advice backed by complete and verified insurance information from the source of truth. Carriers also use the platform in call centers and direct (online) sales.

As Canopy Connect's Insurance Carrier Account Executive, you'll build and scale our enterprise sales operations and partnerships with national and regional insurance providers. This role is remote, and you can be located anywhere in the US. The ideal candidate is an early-stage GTM expert with proven quota-carrying experience selling SaaS software to insurance providers, who we can build a team around.

What we're building

Every business that deals with insurance information has a tedious process of collecting it. They use long forms, phone calls and emails to collect the information they need to understand their prospects and customers. Canopy Connect is changing that. With our consumer consent-driven data model, an individual is able to instantly and securely share a copy of their insurance information with a business. Which means that our customers, business owners across America, can focus on the reasons they started their business in the first place, instead of spending so much time trying to collect the information they need to understand and onboard their customers.
