Head of Sales

Hi, I'm Brayden, co-founder of Sola. We're a venture-backed insurance startup with a team of 24 in Atlanta, and I'm leading the hiring for our Head of Sales. We're building insurance you never have to fight. We started with wind and hail, using weather data to determine claims. We pay in a day or two, and we're transparent when something isn't covered. Just look at our Trustpilot https://www.trustpilot.com/review/solainsurance.com. We've partnered with thousands of insurance agencies, almost all through inbound, and we want to partner with tens of thousands more.
