Job Description

This is a high-impact individual-contributor role with a clear path to building. You will own a U.S. P&C territory with white-space carriers, MGAs, reinsurers, and specialty insurers as targets. You will partner with our actuarial-savvy solutions engineering and customer success teams to land and expand.

You will sell a category-defining platform into a buyer set you already know - Chief Actuaries, CUOs, Heads of Pricing, CIOs, Heads of Underwriting Transformation - with proof points from peers in their market segment.

Now you may be wondering what your day-to-day will look like. You will...

  • Own ARR growth in your territory. Build and execute a territory plan that delivers new logo wins and account expansion against an annual quota.
  • Hunt strategic accounts. Prospect into Tier 1 and Tier 2 U.S. P&C carriers, MGAs, reinsurers, and specialty insurers; map buying centers across actuarial, underwriting, IT, and finance.
  • Run complex enterprise sales cycles. Lead multi-stakeholder deals from discovery through legal close - $150K - $1M+ ACV - using MEDDPICC or Command of the Message discipline.
  • Translate insurance pain into business cases. Quantify the cost of slow product launches, model risk, manual rating logic, and IT backlog; build executive-ready ROI narratives that resonate with CFOs and CUOs.
  • Partner with the ecosystem. Leverage our partner network - and help us build it - to accelerate pipeline and shorten sales cycles.
  • Be the voice of the U.S. P&C market. Feed product, marketing, and partnerships with insight on rating modernization, EUC governance, AI in underwriting, and competitive moves.
  • Be the face of Coherent in the market. Represent us at major industry events - InsurTech Connect, RIMS, NAMIC, CAS Annual, Target Markets, Guidewire Connections, Duck Creek Formation, and similar gatherings - and turn 5-minute hallway conversations into 7-figure pipeline.
  • Operate with discipline. Maintain a clean HubSpot pipeline, accurate forecast, and disciplined activity rhythm; use data to prioritize where you spend your time.

What skills the candidate will need to get the job done…

  • Enterprise B2B sales background - 3+ years (mid-tier track) or 6+ years (strategic track) - with documented experience selling SaaS or InsurTech into U.S. insurance buyers (rating, PAS, actuarial, decisioning, data & analytics, or low-code).
  • Deep, current understanding of U.S. Property & Casualty - distribution, lines of business (commercial, personal, specialty, E&S), the rating and underwriting workflow, regulatory filing dynamics, and how carriers buy technology.
  • Documented quota attainment - $500K–$1M new ARR (mid-tier) or $1M–$2M new ARR (strategic) - with deal sizes of $150K–$1M+ ACV and sales cycles of 9–15 months.
  • Track record of closing at least one $500K+ ACV deal at a P&C carrier or MGA in the last 24 months.
  • Comfort selling into Chief Actuaries, Heads of Pricing, CUOs, CIOs/CTOs, and Chief Data Officers.
  • Disciplined use of MEDDPICC, Command of the Message, Challenger, or comparable enterprise sales methodology - with clean Salesforce/HubSpot hygiene and accurate forecasting.

Nice to have:

  • Prior carrier-side experience (actuarial, underwriting, pricing, product, or IT) before moving into vendor sales.
  • CPCU, AINS, ARe, or similar P&C designation; or graduate-level coursework in actuarial science, risk management, or insurance.
  • Selling experience into specialty / E&S markets or to MGAs and program administrators.
  • Existing Rolodex of U.S. P&C decision-makers and active ecosystem partnerships (Big 4, Duck Creek, Guidewire).

About Coherent

Coherent is the only enterprise platform designed to automate, scale, and govern complex Excel estates across the insurance and financial services industry.

In property and casualty, we empower IT teams to do more with less. Technologists can focus on strategic initiatives rather than time-consuming customizations by automating product deployment. This increases capacity, paving the way for innovation and growth.

In banking and capital markets, we equip risk and operations executives with the insight to move from static, subjective control assessments to proactive monitoring and data-driven risk measurements across their spreadsheet estate. Data and transformation managers can prototype digitization solutions rapidly, reducing Excel migration friction and accelerating automation initiatives.
