WHO WE ARE:

Zinnia is the leading technology platform for accelerating life and annuities growth. With innovative enterprise solutions and data insights, Zinnia simplifies the experience of buying, selling, and administering insurance products. All of which enables more people to protect their financial futures.

Our success is driven by a commitment to three core values: be bold, team up, deliver value – and that we do. Zinnia has over $180 billion in assets under administration, serves 100+ carrier clients, 2500 distributors and partners, and over 2 million policyholders.

WHO YOU ARE:

You are a seasoned carrier-facing seller who knows the life and annuity market cold and comes with the relationships to prove it. You have spent your career selling technology to carriers – you understand how a CIO, COO, or Head of New Business evaluates a policy administration or underwriting platform, and you know how to move a complex, multi-year decision forward.

When you say you can open a door at a carrier, you can, because you have already walked through it.

You are a hunter with substance. You pair a strong rolodex with genuine domain fluency – policy administration, new business, and underwriting – so you can go deep with technical and operational buyers, not just make the introduction. You are disciplined about pipeline, honest about deal health, and relentless about follow-through.

WHAT YOU’LL DO:

Own a carrier sales quota focused on Zinnia’s policy administration and underwriting solutions, sourcing and closing new-logo and expansion opportunities. Sell Zinnia’s policy administration platform (Zahara) and new business / underwriting solutions to life and annuity carriers, from first meeting through signature.

Leverage and expand your network of senior carrier relationships to build qualified pipeline and accelerate access to decision-makers. Run complex, multi-stakeholder sales cycles – navigating IT, operations, new business, underwriting, actuarial, finance,
