Territory Sales Manager

Hi, I’m Wesley, Founder at Sola.

Millions of homeowners no longer have adequate home insurance as roof coverage is effectively being excluded. We invented a first of its kind weather data driven wind/hail policy that enables us to reduce fraud and provide more affordable coverage. We’ve partnered with hundreds of incredible insurance agencies, and we want to partner with tens of thousands more. We need your help to get there.

Below, you’ll find more information about Sola, the role, and the next steps. Thank you for your interest and for taking the time to check us out.

I look forward to meeting you,

Wesley

About this Role:

We’re looking for a driven and talented Sales Manager with a fresh perspective. This is an opportunity for someone early in their career who’s eager to grow fast and make an impact. You’ll lead new business development, product and state launches, account management, and coordinate teams across Sola. Success in this role requires curiosity, initiative, and a passion for driving product adoption and strong relationships with our insurance agency partners.

This is an in-person role based at our beautiful West Midtown Atlanta office overlooking the Atlanta skyline.

About Sola:

In the last few years, millions of home insurance policies and deductibles have suddenly skyrocketed by 3 or 4 times due to market instability. As a result, Sola launched the only affordable and reliable wind/hail coverage in the entire market - solainsurance.com

Our mission is to provide the most reliable and affordable insurance ever created. With premium only based on your property risk, not claims history or personal details, this results in fair, consistent pricing for every customer. As Sola solidifies their position in the market as the only go-to solution for this issue, it aims to expand across all types of natural disasters and property-related risks.
