About the team/role

Checkr Trust is not a typical sales role. It's a chance to help build an entirely new business inside a category-defining company — and we're going deep on insurance.

Checkr Trust accelerates solutions that detect bad actors before they impact businesses. We have early traction in the insurance space, strong product-market pull, and the backing of Checkr — but we are still building the plane while flying it.

We are looking for a Senior Account Executive who knows the insurance industry from the inside: the players, the pain points, the buying dynamics, and the relationships. Someone who can walk into a room with a carrier, MGA, or program administrator and immediately earn credibility — not because of a slide deck, but because of deep domain fluency and a trusted network.

This role is for someone who wants:

• A difficult, high-ownership role

• Ambiguity over predictability

• Accountability over excuses

• Long-term impact over short-term comfort

This is not a "manage a book of inbound" job. This is a territory-building, market-educating, first-call-to-close ownership role within the insurance vertical. You will operate like a founder inside a startup — except you have the resources of an established company behind you.

If you want something safe and structured, this won't be the right fit. If you want to build something enduring in insurance — and are willing to do the hard work required — keep reading.
