Head of Sales, Artificial

• A minimum of 10 years in senior commercial roles, with a demonstrable track record of closing significant deals in one or more of the following: a London market participant, or a technology or data business serving the commercial or specialty insurance industry
• Candidates from senior executive backgrounds of relevant businesses are strongly encouraged to apply — we are looking for a superstar
• Experience working with warm pipelines in high-trust, relationship-led markets; candidates who have thrived in environments where reputation and credibility matter as much as technique will stand out
• A natural closer — someone who reads a room, builds trust quickly, and knows how to bring complex, risk-averse organisations to a decision
• Exceptional communicator: able to engage credibly at board level and translate technical propositions into clear commercial narratives
• Highly numerate, with the confidence to model and negotiate commercial terms, understand client financials, and price creatively where needed
• A strong bias for action — someone who sets priorities, cuts through ambiguity, and measures themselves by outcomes rather than activity
• Resilient and energised by the challenge of a scaling business, where pace matters and process is still being built
• Think you don’t meet every requirement? Please apply anyway. We value potential as much as experience, and we know that raw talent counts
