Job description

Swiss Re is building a next-generation platform for corporates combining proprietary risk data, advanced analytics, and deep risk expertise to deliver actionable insights at scale. We are now looking for a high-performing sales hunter to lead new business acquisition across the United States.

About the Role

This is a rare opportunity to take an emerging, high-value proposition to market and win strategic, first-of-their-kind deals with large corporates! You will operate in a greenfield environment, shaping the go-to-market, opening new logos, and helping scale a business at the intersection of risk, data, and technology.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Own new logo acquisition across the United States, targeting large corporates and risk leaders (CROs, CFOs, Heads of Risk)
  • Build and execute a territory and account penetration strategy to exceed revenue targets
  • Originate, develop, and close complex enterprise deals
  • Establish and manage senior C-level relationships
  • Lead cross-functional deal teams across product, underwriting, engineering, and partners
  • Shape compelling commercial propositions and business cases
  • Bring market feedback into product development
  • Define and scale repeatable go-to-market approaches

What Makes This Role Different?

  • Greenfield builder role - not account management
  • Opportunity to land flagship clients
  • Backed by Swiss Re's brand and data capabilities
  • Exposure to climate, supply chain, and property risk topics

About You

You have a proven track record of winning new logos and successfully closing early-stage or category-creating deals.  You possess strong C-level engagement skills and solid ability to effectively lead complex deal teams.  Thriving in ambiguous, fast-moving environments, you bring a strategic mindset to drive growth!

Additional Requirements Include:

  • 5-10+ years in enterprise new business sales
  • Experience selling enterprise SaaS, data, AI, or cloud platforms
  • Consistent quota overachievement
  • US enterprise sales experience preferred
  • Fluent business English

Nice to Have:

  • Understanding of commercial risk or insurance markets
  • Exposure to climate, supply chain, or property risks
  • Experience selling to risk management, finance, or operations executives

Working Model

  • US-based, covering a designated territory
  • Travel up to 30%
