SafeLease is an insurance technology company that specializes in commercial real estate.

We focus on insurance products for the self-storage industry but are rapidly expanding our suite of services. We believe traditional commercial insurance can be distributed faster and cheaper. To do that, we’ve brought the entire insurance value chain—distribution, underwriting, and reinsurance—under one roof to drive innovation in an industry that’s ripe for change.

Our business is growing and so is our sales team! We're hiring Business Development Representatives to engage with prospects and build relationships.

About the role

Our BDRs drive top-of-funnel activity by engaging prospects and generating high-quality leads to fuel SafeLease’s sales pipeline.

  • Collaborate dynamically: Partner with Account Executives to qualify leads and align on strategies that maximize pipeline impact

  • Embrace growth opportunities: Join a sales team where ambition and performance pave the way for career advancement

  • Drive measurable impact: Contribute to a fast-growing company where exceptional results are rewarded with exceptional recognition and compensation

About You

You are adept at communicating with commercial real estate professionals and managing early sales activities. Ideal candidates are energized by learning about new and existing products, are coachable with the ability to work autonomously, and want to be a part of a winning team.

You’ll bring these skills and strengths:

  • 1+ years in a similar role (optional) with a strong desire to build a thriving sales career (required)

  • A performance-driven mindset--you're motivated by a compensation structure that rewards top performance

  • Outgoing and comfortable interacting with large numbers of prospects on a daily basis

  • Exceptional communication skills with an above-average ability to articulate ideas clearly and persuasively across multiple channels

  • Ability to thrive in dynamic environments, embracing challenges and the unknowns of a growing company

  • Collaborative, open to feedback, and eager to strategize with sales team members to achieve shared goals

  • Natural curiousity and a bias towards listening, you always seek to understand prospects’ needs

  • P&C insurance interest and/or experience a plus

Why SafeLease?

The tech: Our prospects convert fast because we’re solving real problems and delivering serious value to commercial real estate owners.

The team: We’re a team of seasoned pros and sharp operators who know how to move fast and build smart. High standards, low ego.

The stability: We’re well-funded, growing fast, and we make sure our team shares in that success with competitive pay and equity.
