Description
Ignite is entering a defining phase of growth. Having stabilised the platform, sharpened the product vision and aligned around a product-led SaaS strategy, we are now seeking a high-calibre sales leader to accelerate revenue, build market momentum and establish Ignite as a credible, long-term platform partner within the UK insurance broker ecosystem.
This role is not about order-taking or transactional selling. It is about winning — earning trust with senior broker leadership, navigating complex buying journeys and converting strategic interest into repeatable, scalable revenue.
Responsibilities
Revenue Growth & Market Expansion
- Own and deliver Ignite’s new business revenue targets across UK brokers and MGAs.
- Lead complex, multi-stakeholder sales cycles from initial engagement through to contract signature.
- Position Ignite as a strategic platform partner.
- Drive consistent pipeline creation, progression and conversion aligned to the agreed GTM strategy.
- Engage with the Marketing team to ensure a credible and executable marketing plan helps to drive sales and maintain strong market messaging.
