Original posting from Authentic via Greenhouse
Authentic is a tech-enabled MGA (managing general agent). We design and run insurance programs for specific kinds of businesses, like restaurants, gyms, and power producers. Brokers bring us the businesses that need coverage, and carriers back our policies. Every program runs on a platform we built ourselves, and we own every line of code behind it. Engineers and insurance experts build it side by side in New York and Dayton, Ohio. Since our founding in 2022, we’ve grown to 80+ people and been named to the 2026 CB Insights Insurtech 50.
The Role
This role is built for a producer who's ready for more.
If you're a commercial insurance broker who has proven you can open doors, win business, and build lasting relationships, this is your opportunity to take that foundation and accelerate—with real ownership of the partnerships you create and earnings that reflect what you produce.
As a Sales Director, you'll own the full sales cycle for launching insurance programs with brokerage partners. You'll bring your network, your producer instincts, and your hustle. We'll bring the product, the underwriting, and a comp structure where your earnings actually track your performance.
What You'll Do
Own the end-to-end sales process for launching insurance programs with brokerage partners—from first conversation to signed partnership to premium on the books
Leverage and expand your network of brokerages to generate new partnership opportunities
Work directly with our underwriting team to structure programs and drive premium growth
Manage your pipeline in the CRM with rigorous, up-to-date records and clean sales reporting
Shape our go-to-market strategy and help scale Authentic's distribution partnerships as we grow
Who You Are
4+ years in commercial insurance, ideally as a producer or broker at a retail or wholesale brokerage
P&C experience preferred, though we're open to other commercial lines if you have a proven track record of winning business
You've demonstrated you can generate opportunities and build relationships—you may not have a massive book yet, but you know how to hunt and you're ready to accelerate
A natural relationship builder who connects the dots between what a client needs and what's possible
Entrepreneurial and self-directed—you want to be paid for what you produce, not for showing up
Comfortable with ambiguity and the pace of an early-stage startup
Compensation
Base salary of $120,000–$150,000 with uncapped performance-based incentives of $100,000+. Producers hitting targets can expect $250,000+ OTE, and there's no ceiling beyond that.
We designed this structure deliberately: a solid base with real upside for people who perform. If you're the kind of producer who'd rather bet on your own ability than optimize for a guaranteed number, you'll like it here.
Why This Role
Real ownership. You're not feeding a senior producer's book. Every partnership you build is yours.
A differentiated product. You're not selling the same coverage as the shop down the street—you're giving brokerages a way to launch their own programs, which is a conversation they haven't had before.
Ground-floor timing. Authentic is growing fast, and the people who build our distribution engine now will define what this company becomes.
Our (FTE) benefits
Competitive salary, equity, and role trajectory
Comprehensive health benefits for you and your family
401(k) plan with company match
Unlimited PTO
Paid parental leave
