Your job is simple: bring in insurer partnerships fast, activate them fast, and turn them into volume.

Work closely with legal, product, and tech teams to craft commercially sound agreements. Push for fast activation, align stakeholders, and ensure partners can launch smoothly without delays. - Hit monthly revenue and policy targets — not just close deals, ensure ongoing productivity
After partners go live, continue driving volume and performance. Monitor KPIs, optimize partner output, explore cross-selling opportunities, and turn partnerships into sustainable revenue streams.
