Enterprise Account Executive

Vellum is on a mission to empower the (re)insurance industry to cover the risks of tomorrow. While many consumers have never heard of reinsurance - basically insurance for insurance companies - it is a $500+ billion industry that plays a crucial role in providing coverage for catastrophic events such as earthquakes, hurricanes, floods, and wildfires. At Vellum we are leveraging modern technology, advanced analytics, and machine learning to modernize and advance this industry that is burdened by technology and processes that have been largely unchanged in decades. Our team has deep experience in insurance and transforming antiquated technology in established industries.

We are seeking a high-performing Enterprise Account Executive to drive revenue growth by continuing to introduce Vellum's data analytics platform to enterprise insurance and reinsurance customers.

• Qualify opportunities, build reliable forecasts, and exceed quarterly and annual quotas.
