  • Generate, qualify, and nurture leads while tailoring sales strategies to parametric product models.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with product, actuarial, tech, and operations teams to deliver custom parametric insurance solutions.
  • Monitor market trends, weather and climate risk data, government policy shifts, and competitor offerings.
  • Represent the company at relevant industry forums, conferences, and exhibitions.
  • Build and mentor a lean sales team to scale operations.
  • Deliver performance reports, revenue forecasts, and business insights to senior leadership.


Required Skills & Qualifications:

  • Demonstrated experience in setting up and scaling a sales function from 0 to 100.
  • In-depth understanding of parametric insurance products, climate data, and risk triggers.
  • Strong negotiation, communication, and stakeholder management skills.
  • Entrepreneurial mindset with strong execution skills and adaptability in dynamic environments.
  • Willingness to travel extensively, especially to risk-prone or underserved regions.


Preferred:

  • Prior experience in insurtech, parametric product design, reinsurance, or agri-fintech.
  • Existing relationships with insurers, reinsurers, government bodies, and institutional clients.
  • Familiarity with data platforms (weather, satellite, etc.) and digital insurance infrastructure.
