Company mission

Kalepa's mission is to leverage its human-AI commercial insurance platform to help identify the true risks of businesses and find the insurance coverage that they need.

Role

Who you are

  • You have 5+ years of enterprise SaaS sales experience, driving new logo sales with top tier companies
  • You have an experience at an early-stage startup during hypergrowth
  • You love to hustle: finding ways to get things done, destroying obstacles, and never taking no for an answer. The words “it can’t be done” don’t exist in your vocabulary
  • You are passionate, deeply motivated and have a strong will to win. You are excited about bringing a world-class solution to clients and to helping them win in-market
  • You are an excellent listener. You are perceptive to clients’ strategic priorities and business considerations. You serve as a trusted thought partner and always look ways to enable clients further with our Copilot solution
  • You are methodical, organized and adept at utilizing CRM and other sales tools
  • You value open, frank, and respectful communication

Desirable

  • FinTech experience and/or experience selling into insurers

What the job involves

  • You will be expected to own the sales lifecycle and execute against Kalepa’s sales playbook: initiating contact with key decision-makers and P&L owners at large insurance carriers, demonstrating key proof points and value creation from the first sales meeting and, ultimately, negotiating initial agreements so we can land rapidly and deliver ongoing value to our clients
  • Kalepa’s clients include 3 of the 15 largest insurance carriers in the United States whose underwriters and underwriting leaders use Copilot to achieve Efficient Frontier Insurance: highly profitable, transparent, and fast-growing books of business

Otta's take

Theo Margolius headshot

Theo Margolius

COO of Otta

Insurance products that are underwritten at the Efficient Frontier are essential for businesses to mitigate financial risk, but one-size-fits-all approaches to insurance results in many coverage plans being unfairly priced. The reason for this is that whilst businesses each present their own unique set of hazards, identifying them for each company is an incredibly lengthy process for human underwriters.

Kalepa leverages human-interrupted artificial intelligence to identify the true hazards of a business through a data-driven approach and provide insurance that is priced accordingly. The company claims that it reduces the time that insurance providers take to provide quotes by over 40% and helps businesses save over $15M in losses, whilst also improving coverage uptake for insurance providers.

Whilst the commercial insurance sector is certainly oversaturated, Kalepa stands out by providing its AI-driven underwriting platform to insurance providers, helping them compete through faster quotes and lower prices. In addition to its underwriting platform, the company also provides its solutions in the form of embeddable APIs, and recently formed a new MGA that will underwrite excess casualty risks using Everspan paper.
