## About the role

We're looking for a Market Director to own agency origination across a set of metro markets, taking the best independent health insurance agencies from a first conversation to a signed letter of intent. You'll map and rank every agency in your markets, run outreach to owners by phone, email and in person, qualify fit early, and stay in the deal with M&A leadership through financials and LOI. You'll work closely with Strategy, M&A and Marketing, and help shape the origination playbook as we add more markets. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- 5+ years in insurance distribution, agency or FMO recruiting, carrier sales, or business development selling to small-business owners, health insurance (Medicare or employee benefits) strongly preferred
- A demonstrated record of building pipeline from scratch and hitting activity and outcome targets in an outbound role
- Fluency in how independent health agencies make money: commissions, renewals, book retention, and carrier and FMO relationships. Agency M&A or valuation exposure is a plus
- Command of the mechanics: territory mapping, multi-touch sequences, cold calling, qualification frameworks, CRM hygiene and weekly pipeline reporting
- Judgment to read an owner's real motivation and decide where your time goes across many relationships and a few live deals
- Credibility with agency owners. Existing relationships in Medicare or employee benefits are a plus
