VP Strategic Accounts

Role Overview:

Federato is looking for a VP of Strategic Accounts to help lead our push into the largest most complex carriers and MGAs in the P&C and specialty insurance market.

This is a priority hire for our sales organization and one of the most senior individual contributor seats on the team.

You'll report directly to our CRO while working closely with the broader go-to-market team to build and close a pipeline of strategic enterprise-level relationships then partner with Forward Deployed Engineering Product and Customer Success to ensure those accounts land and expand successfully.

What you'll be doing:

• Own the full sales cycle for our largest most strategic prospects — from initial relationship-building through executive alignment negotiation and close.
• Build deep trusted relationships inside complex organizations often navigating multiple stakeholders (underwriting IT operations and C-suite) across long multi-quarter sales cycles.
• Develop and execute account strategies for named strategic accounts including identifying champions mapping decision-making structures and tailoring value propositions to each carrier's or MGA's unique risk appetite and portfolio goals.
• Partner closely with Forward Deployed Engineering and Customer Success to ensure a smooth handoff post-close and support long-term account health and expansion.
• Represent Federato credibly to senior insurance executives translating our AI-native platform and its business value into language that resonates with underwriting and executive leadership.
• Collaborate with product and marketing to bring customer and market feedback back into the business.
• Act as a model for sales excellence on the team contributing playbooks and best practices as Federato continues to scale its go-to-market motion

Who We Hope You Are:

• 8-10+ years of quota-carrying enterprise/strategic B2B SaaS sales experience with a track record of closing large complex deals with long sales cycles.
• A demonstrated ability to build trust and credibility inside large complex organizations — comfortable navigating multiple stakeholders and long decision-making processes.
• Insurance or InsureTech experience is a strong plus but not required.

  We're just as interested in strong enterprise sellers from adjacent regulated or complex industries (fintech healthcare data/AI etc.) who can quickly embed themselves in a new vertical.

• A track record of stability and sustained performance — we look for people who've built deep expertise and strong results over multiple years in a role.
• Comfortable operating as a senior individual contributor in a fast-moving startup environment including candidates coming from larger more structured organizations who are ready for that shift.
• Strong executive presence and consultative selling skills — able to speak credibly to both technical and business stakeholders.
• Self-motivated and resourceful; excited to help build the playbook for strategic accounts at Federato rather than inherit an established one.

Our base salary for this role is targeted at $170 000 to $200 000 with OTE ranging from $340 000 to $400 000.

Final offer amounts are determined by multiple factors including candidate location experience and expertise and may vary from the amounts listed above.

Total compensation package does include stock options benefits and additional perks.

Here at Federato your capabilities are important but culture fit is quintessential.

We move fast are eager to listen to our users take a first principles approach to solving problems and value learning and the ability to change our minds.

Most importantly we're here to have fun.

Our ability to make a difference starts with our people.

We would love to work with you!
