With 950+ employees, we are a stable organization that offers career advancement and fosters a stimulant environment.

Hiring Location: USA (Philadelphia) You are welcome to work at the office, hybrid or remote.

Internal job title: VP, Wealth and Insurance Solutions - USA

Full-time Permanent Role

• Benefits available, 1st of the month following date of hire: Medical, Dental, Telemedicine Program, etc.
• Quarterly Enrollment for Retirement Funds
• Flexible hours
• Number of hours per week: 40
• Educational Support (LinkedIn Learning, LOMA Courses and Equisoft University)

Role

The VP, Wealth and Insurance Solutions - USA reports to the CSO (Chief Sales Officer). The incumbent is Equisoft's Insurance engine in the region. This is a consultative enterprise sales role with a pure hunter mandate: you identify, pursue, and close net-new Annual Recurring Revenue with Life and Annuity carriers across the USA. Equisoft is shifting from a services focused company to a software company as we continue to build out or own intellectual property and solutions. Pas-less transformation is geared towards companies who don’t want to replace their core - Equisoft has developed new software to enable modernizing without necessarily changing the core. In addition, Equisoft continues to invest in our own Intellectual property and software solutions to help accelerate the shift from a services focused company to an ARR focused company. You are an individual contributor with a direct quota focused on new ARR each year. You own the deal from first contact to close. You build your own pipeline. You run your own account strategies. You coordinate Equisoft's pre-sales, inside sales and the USA regional team in your sales pursuits — but the customer relationship, the deal strategy, and the close are yours. You will be supported by the Chief Sales Officer and a Deal Governance committee.

The ideal candidate brings the credibility of someone who has sold into Life and Annuity carriers at the C-suite level, a genuine personal network in the USA insurance technology market, and the consultative depth to articulate the business and IT transformation case for core systems modernization. You understand how a carrier's CIO, CTO, Chief Actuary, and Chief Transformation Officer think — and you can speak each of their languages to demonstrate the value that Equisoft can bring to their organization. You will work closely with Equisoft's primary alliance partner Oracle and leverage new partners, develop channel relationships to generate joint pipeline and co-sell into carrier accounts. You bring experience working with system integrators and strategic partners as deal accelerators, not just for implementation — but as pipeline sources and deal influencers.

Your Day with Equisoft

Pipeline Generation & New Business Development

Proactively build, qualify, and manage a pipeline of net-new Life & Annuity carrier opportunities across the USA named accounts

Deploy structured strategies for securing new insurance carrier accounts — combining personal network outreach, alliance channel activation, supported by targeted event marketing and inside sales

Sales Execution — Full Cycle Ownership

Lead the complete enterprise sales cycle from prospecting through commercial close: initial contact, discovery, solution positioning, business case development, proposal, negotiation, and contract execution

Build carrier-specific value propositions grounded in client business outcomes — connecting Equisoft's capabilities to the transformation objectives of the CIO, CTO, Chief Actuary, and Chief Transformation Officer

Navigating and coordinating multi-stakeholder buying committees within large carrier organizations — building relationships at all levels from operational champions to Board-level sponsors

Lead and optimize responses to RFP/RFI processes with commercial rigour, carrier-specific relevance, and clear differentiation versus competitors while being supported by the Pre-Sales team

Serve as Equisoft's primary relationship holder with regional alliance and SI contacts, supported by the USA Region Head and the Chief Sales Officer

Customer Relationship Management & Post-Sale

Maintain strong relationships with insurance carrier accounts post-close, working alongside Equisoft's Account Manager team in USA to help ensure Customer Success and successful project delivery from the Professional Services teams

Transition the customer relationship over to the Account Management team, post-sales and support the Account Manager as they seek to identify expansion ARR opportunities within the account — new modules, additional lines, or subsidiary accounts

Maintain accurate, current, and complete records of all pipeline activity, account interactions, and deal progression in HubSpot CRM — pipeline accuracy is a condition of plan participation

Market Intelligence & Internal Contribution

Maintain deep, current awareness of the USA competitive landscape — providing structured competitive intelligence to Product and Marketing

Analyze market trends, regulatory developments (Solvency II, IFRS 17, local market dynamics), and carrier strategic priorities to identify new opportunity areas

Present regular pipeline and activity reports to the CSO; contribute regional market perspective to Equisoft's global USA expansion planning

Support analyst and advisor briefings as Equisoft's USA market presence grows

Participate in weekly team stand up meetings outlining the coming week’s activities. Participate in bi-weekly sales team forecast calls with particular emphasis on the Committed and Upside deals for the current fiscal year
