Head of Business Development

Head of Business Development — Equity & Commission Only

About Benefitly

Benefitly (benefitly.ai) is an AI-powered health insurance navigation and benefits platform built for the way independent brokers actually work. We help brokers deliver more value to their employer clients — and help employees actually use the benefits they’re already paying for. We’re pre-seed, backed by real traction, and closing a round as we speak.

Our mission is simple: open up access to healthcare for the average person. We do that by amplifying brokers and educating plan members.

The Role

We’re looking for our first sales hire: a hungry, connected closer who wants to get in early, own the channel, and be rewarded accordingly.

This is a commission-only + equity role until our funding round closes. If you need a base salary today, this isn’t the right fit. If you want to build something, own a piece of it, and earn real upside on every deal you close, keep reading.

As Head of Business Development, you’ll own broker acquisition. You’ll be talking to independent insurance brokers and regional agencies — convincing them to bring Benefitly to their employer clients. You’ll build the pipeline, run the conversations, and close the partnerships that become the foundation of our go-to-market.

What You’ll Do

• Identify, prospect, and close independent insurance brokers and regional agencies
• Manage your own pipeline from outreach through signed MSA
• Feed market intelligence to the team to sharpen positioning and product
• Lay the foundation for a sales org you may eventually lead

What We’re Looking For

• An existing network of independent health insurance brokers
• Prior experience selling to or working within the employee benefits / health insurance space
• Self-directed, entrepreneurial, and not waiting to be managed

Compensation

• High commission
• Equity
• Base salary upon close of our pre-seed round
