Pulse Edge Insurance Solutions is seeking a motivated SDR for Hawaii. You will identify Hawaii business owners, initiate conversations, and book meetings for producers. No insurance license is required to start; training will cover our products and talking points.

This launch role offers a clear path into an Account Executive seat or an Account Manager track, with a hands-on environment in which you will build a local network and close opportunities through effective outreach.

The Opportunity
