About this Role:
We’re looking for a driven and talented Sales Manager to bring our product to insurance agents and insurance distribution partners all over the US. In this role, you will be in charge of new business development, product/state launches, account management, and the coordination of various teams across Sola. This role requires an understanding of the independent agent landscape as well as a focus on new market penetration, product adoption, marketing, business / relationship development and management with national accounts.
This is an in-person role based at our midtown Atlanta office.
About Sola:
In the last few years, millions of home insurance policies suddenly skyrocketed by 3 or 4 times due to market instability. As a result, Sola launched the only affordable and reliable wind/hail coverage in the entire market.
Our mission is to provide the most reliable and affordable insurance ever created. With premium only based on your property risk, not claims history or personal details, this results in fair, consistent pricing for every customer. As Sola solidifies their position in the market as the only go-to solution for this issue, it aims to expand across all types of natural disasters and property-related risks.
