Nice to have
5+ years experience working in the Spanish insurance market, ideally within a broker or brokerage environment
Level 2 Insurance Mediation/Distribution License or higher
Strong knowledge of corporate insurance, particularly health insurance
Experience managing insurance customers or portfolios with commercial responsibility
Comfortable identifying opportunities, advising customers and closing business
Able to build strong relationships with insurers and navigate their organisations effectively, negotiating conditions, creating leverage and knowing who to involve to move complex opportunities forward.
Confident working with different customer stakeholders, particularly HR and Finance
Strong organisation and follow through across multiple customers, insurers and processes
Fluent Spanish and comfortable working in English
Commercial: you're comfortable talking about value, negotiating and being accountable for revenue
Insurance fluent: you understand the technical side well enough to move from customer need to viable solution
Persistent: when a quotation or activation requires ten follow ups, the eleventh doesn't scare you
Influential: you understand that insurance is a relationship driven industry. You build credibility, read stakeholders well and know when to negotiate, push, escalate or invest in a relationship for the longer term.
Pragmatic: you care more about getting the right solution implemented than protecting artificial boundaries between "sales" and "placement"
Organised: customers, carriers, proposals and next steps don't live inside your head
Consultative: you can build trust without becoming purely reactive or relationship driven
Collaborative: you work closely with Sales, Customer Success and the wider Insurance team rather than operating as a solo commercial function
You'll probably find this frustrating if...
You only want to hunt and expect someone else to manage the technical insurance work once an opportunity progresses
You prefer pure placement or operational work and don't want responsibility for commercial outcomes
You're uncomfortable owning a revenue target
You need clearly separated responsibilities and highly structured processes
You don't enjoy dealing directly with both customers and insurers
Experience across additional employee insurance products such as life and pensions
Existing relationships with insurers in the Spanish market
Experience managing larger or more complex corporate accounts
Experience with renewals and portfolio management
Experience using CRM tools such as HubSpot or Salesforce
You do not need previous startup or SaaS experience. What matters more is that you know insurance, can manage customers commercially and are comfortable operating with autonomy in a fast moving environment.
OTE: €61,000 - €71,000
- Base Salary: €45,000 - €55,000
- Commissions: up to ~ €16,000 based on commercial targets
Equity: Yes - Stock Options under our Equity Incentive Plan

We turn compensation into choice - one platform, one card, one app - for benefits, meal allowance, insurance and more.
Our platform is simple for HR and meaningful for employees.
We provide choice, smarter compensation tools and empowerment.

Insurance at Coverflex sits somewhere between sales, advisory and getting things done.
You'll own insurance opportunities end to end, combining the commercial relationship with the technical work required to turn a customer need into the right insurance solution.
That means talking to customers, understanding what they need, working with insurers to build and negotiate proposals, managing quotations and placement, and ultimately helping us turn those opportunities into revenue.
We're deliberately looking for someone who can do both sides of the job. You're commercially comfortable, but you also understand insurance well enough to manage the process without handing everything over once the customer says yes.
You'll know you're successful when, after 90 days, you've:
Taken ownership of insurance opportunities from customer conversation through quotation and placement
Built credible relationships with customers and key insurance partners
Started converting opportunities into new insurance revenue
Shown that you can independently navigate insurers, proposals, documentation and follow ups
Become a trusted insurance reference for the wider Sales and Customer teams
Main KPI 1: Insurance revenue generated against your commercial target
Main KPI 2: Opportunities progressed and converted
Main KPI 3: Quality and speed of quotations and placement
Main KPI 4: Carrier relationships and negotiation effectiveness
⚡ Reality Check: What Makes This Role Hard
This isn't a traditional SaaS Account Executive role, and it isn't a back office insurance role either.
You'll need to move comfortably between the customer and the insurer.
Sometimes you'll be discussing a solution with HR or Finance. Sometimes you'll be negotiating conditions with an insurer. Sometimes you'll be chasing documentation, correcting missing information or following up repeatedly to get a policy issued.
Insurance processes aren't always beautifully streamlined, so getting things across the line requires persistence, organisation and strong industry knowledge.
You'll also work across opportunities of different sizes and complexity. As we automate more of the simpler quotation work, your expertise will increasingly matter on larger or more complex accounts where negotiation, judgement and relationships make a real difference.
No cover letter required.

We hire for impact and potential, not pedigree.
We welcome applications from people with non-linear careers, career breaks, caregiving gaps, and those changing fields.
No discrimination on the basis of age, disability, gender identity/expression, marital or family status, pregnancy, neurodivergence, race/ethnicity, religion/belief, gender, sexual orientation, or any other protected ground.
Assessment fairness:
We anchor on evidence of outcomes (what you shipped, moved, or influenced).
We actively de-bias by using structured rubrics, multiple assessors, and blind screening most of the time (we won't know your name, gender, or personal info until the interview stage).
We use a few tools to reduce bias and improve documentation, not to make hiring decisions.
Teamtailor anonymisation: profiles are reviewed without relying on names/personal identifiers.
Meeting recorder (e.g., Talka.ai): may be used to capture interviews so we can focus on the conversation.
AI Tools: may be used to turn interview notes/transcripts into clear, structured summaries.
Important: every application is reviewed by a human, and no decision or rejection is made by AI. If recording is used, we'll be transparent and (where required) ask for consent.
