Location: Minneapolis, MN (Hybrid - in office Tuesdays and Thursdays)

Vertical Insure is the leading embedded insurance platform built for vertical SaaS platforms. We offer customized insurance options tailored to each business and its customers, adding value and generating new revenue without extra overhead. Our approach is simple; we are removing the burden from buying insurance by embedding it into our partners’ existing product flow making financial protection effortless and timely.

As the executive owner of our top strategic accounts, this leader is responsible for driving net revenue retention, expansion ARR, and long-term partner success. This is a growth-forward role, not a remediation role — the focus is maximizing performance, accelerating adoption, and executing expansion strategies within high-performing, high-potential accounts. Success is measured by revenue expansion, partner satisfaction, strategic influence, and long-term account value creation.

Our Minneapolis office operates on a hybrid model, with in-office collaboration on Tuesdays and Thursdays. At this time, we’re only considering local candidates.
