About Qumis

Qumis is redefining insurance with generative AI. We're building the leading vertical AI platform for insurance knowledge work, trusted by top brokers, carriers, and claims professionals to analyze complex policies, compare terms, and generate law-firm-quality insights in seconds.

Our traction is undeniable: 100% pilot conversion, 20% month-over-month growth, and >150% quarter-over-quarter growth in 2025, all with minimal outbound sales or marketing. We're backed by leading venture investors including Armory Square Ventures, MTech Capital, and BrokerTech Ventures. Now we're expanding our sales team to meet demand and scale with precision.

About the Role

Work at the forefront of insurance innovation and help shape the industry’s future with our forward-thinking partners.

We're hiring our first Account Executive to be a foundational member of our go-to-market team. You'll define our sales playbook, shape customer engagement strategy, and build scalable processes as we scale from seed to Series A and beyond.

You'll own new logo acquisition, build a high-quality pipeline, and close six-figure deals with leading insurance organizations. You'll work directly with our Head of Sales and founding team, with high visibility and direct impact on company strategy.

This role is ideal for someone with strong P&C insurance domain expertise (broker, producer, account manager, or underwriter) eager to bring that knowledge into high-growth tech, or a proven enterprise SaaS seller ready to become a category expert in insurance tech.

What You'll Do

Core Responsibilities

• Develop sales collateral including one-pagers, ROI calculators, pitch decks, and competitive battle cards
• Document best practices and proven sales motions for future hires

Innovation & Efficiency

• Leverage AI-native tools (Clay, Apollo, ChatGPT, Perplexity) to automate prospecting and research at scale
• Test and iterate on messaging, outbound sequences, and sales tactics
• Stay current on AI trends, insurance industry shifts, and enterprise selling methodologies

Who You Are

• Hunter mentality who thrives on generating pipeline, prospecting cold accounts, and closing new logos

• Experience selling to VP/C-level buyers and navigating complex, multi-threaded enterprise sales cycles

• Strong business acumen with ability to build ROI models and articulate value in financial terms

• Experience with AI-native sales tools
• Existing relationships within the insurance industry

Success Profile

You'll thrive if you:
