Plum - Lead - Sales

About Plum

Plum is an employee insurance and health benefits platform focused on making health insurance simple, accessible and inclusive for modern organizations.

Healthcare in India is seeing a phenomenal shift with inflation in healthcare costs 3x that of general inflation. A majority of Indians are unable to afford health insurance on their own; and so as many as 600mn Indians will likely have to depend on employer-sponsored insurance.

Plum is on a mission to insure 10mn lives by 2025. Backed by leading global investors including Tiger Global, and Sequoia Capital, we help companies care better for their employees by providing.

About the Role

Having found exceptional product/market fit, we're in the midst of transitioning from 'start-up' to 'scale-up', and are looking for a rockstar Sales Lead to capitalize on the huge demand for our product.

We are looking for passionate entrepreneurs, builders, and straight-up hustlers to help us build something special. We're looking for outstanding tech salespeople who have consistently hit target and thrive in taking full ownership of the sales cycle, from lead generation through to closing.

We don't pretend that it'll be easy - Joining a company and embarking on the scale-up phase is an amazing challenge, pushing well beyond the boundaries of natural growth cycles. You'll move quicker than feels comfortable, and be brilliant at continually re-prioritizing what must get done to keep Plum growing month over month at the pace of the fastest-growing SaaS companies in history.
