About the role

Account Executive role focused on standing up and leading the French book of Corgi Insurance, selling to founders and finance leads across France, with on-site work in Dublin and collaboration with a BDR team, underwriting, and operations.

Responsibilities

  • Pipeline management. Take qualified meetings from BDRs and work them end to end. Discovery, quote, negotiation, bind. Run a tight CRM, a clean forecast, and an honest pipeline.
  • Discovery and underwriting partnership. Pull the headcount, revenue, sector, claims history, and prior carriers. Partner with underwriters to build a quote that wins and that we can stand behind.
  • Closing. Negotiate coverage, terms, and effective date, and price within your authority. Get the policy bound, in French, in writing, in the order French law requires.
  • Account ownership. Stay close through onboarding, the first claim, and the first renewal. Find the expansion: additional lines, additional entities, growing headcount.
  • Cross-functional feedback. Tell product, underwriting, and BDRs what's winning, what's losing, and what we need to change to win more. In a market this new you are the primary sensor.

  • High agency, high ownership, low drama
  • Native or near-native French, professional English. French law requires the offer, the presentation, and the contract to be in French.
