Enterprise Client Engagement

• Leverage Salesforce and sales analytics to improve forecasting accuracy, pipeline management, and business decisions.
• Monitor market trends, competitive activity, and emerging opportunities to continuously evolve commercial strategy.

Innovation & Business Growth

• Identify new markets, emerging industries, and growth opportunities.
• Champion innovative sales approaches and scalable processes that improve productivity and client experience.
• Contribute to the long-term commercial strategy and profitability of the Americas Assurance business.

To Be Successful in This Role, You Will Have:

• 10+ years of progressive B2B sales experience, including 5+ years leading enterprise or strategic sales teams.
• Proven success managing large strategic accounts and delivering sustained revenue growth.
• Experience leading geographically dispersed sales teams through coaching, mentorship, and performance management.
