The Opportunity

It’s been just a few months since we launched Sonant, and our growth has been amazing. We already work with leading insurance companies across different geographies, and built key partnerships in an industry that is hard to navigate. The team’s energy is phenomenal and everyone feels like we’re just scratching the surface of the huge impact we can have in the industry.

We’ve reached this point without any salesperson, and now are at a stage where we have more business coming through the door than we can handle. We’re looking for a founding Accounting Executive with a strong track record of selling in high velocity motions. This isn’t an easy role — you’ll navigate a hard to understand industry and folks resistant to change. But if you want the thrill of building a vision from the ground up, joining a team with brilliant engineers and growth hackers, while shaping the future of insurance – we should chat.

  • Represent Sonant in industry conferences around the country (~12 a year) - our industry values a lot personal relationships

  • Building strong relationships with leading insurance companies and partners

  • Identify customer needs and liaise with the product leadership

  • Develop and refine sales strategies as our market presence expands

Requirements

  • >2 year experience in a B2B closing role, following a playbook and with proven individual results

  • Track record of selling SaaS to SMBs

  • Previous startup experience (bonus if previous founder in B2B)

  • You are a go getter

  • Strong written and verbal communication, you follow up fast

  • You adapt well to different situations

  • Insurance/P&C/Distribution experience is a plus

  • Attitude: Motivated self-starter, eager to consistently take on new challenges and quickly scale your impact, low ego

  • Adaptable: Thrives in a fast-paced, dynamic startup environment

What We Offer

  • Collaborative and dynamic work environment of driven high achievers

  • Competitive salary + Equity opportunities

  • Rapid career growth opportunities

If this isn’t the right role for you

Please take a moment to reflect on the 1 or 2 most brilliant collaborators you’ve ever worked with and consider whether this might be a fit for them. We offer $5K for a successful referral. You can also let us know what you’re looking for in your next role and we can try to connect you to other companies who might be relevant—we’re close with a wide network of frontier AI startup founders.

View company profile

At the heart of Pear VC is a culture deeply rooted in the founder's journey. We began as Pejman Mar Ventures in 2013, founded by Pejman Nozad and Mar Hershenson, with a singular mission: to build a venture capital firm that genuinely and actively supports founders. Pejman, an angel investor, saw the immense potential in creating a firm where founder support was paramount. He partnered with Mar, and together they laid the foundation for what would become Pear VC three years later. The name 'Pear' itself is symbolic of our philosophy – pear trees are known for their longevity and strength, yet they require nurturing and the right conditions to flourish, much like startups. Our founders themselves embody resilience and diverse experiences. Pejman immigrated to the U.S. from Iran with very little and carved a unique path into venture capital, initially investing while working as a rug dealer. Mar, originally from Barcelona, brings a wealth of technical and operational expertise, holding a PhD in Electrical Engineering from Stanford and having founded three companies herself.

Our core values emphasize a hands-on, empathetic approach. We understand that building something from nothing is an arduous journey, often marked by setbacks. Having navigated these challenges ourselves through founding over ten companies, our team is uniquely positioned to empathize with and guide entrepreneurs. We are not just investors; we are company builders. Our commitment extends beyond capital; we roll up our sleeves to help founders find product-market fit, craft go-to-market strategies, recruit crucial early hires, and navigate the complexities of fundraising. We pride ourselves on being there for our founders through thick and thin, offering support when challenges arise, be it an elusive product-market fit, a missed target, or team changes. We believe in 'active patience,' fostering an environment where learning and long-term vision take precedence over short-term pressures. This philosophy has enabled us to partner with exceptional founders from the earliest stages, often pre-seed and seed, to build category-defining companies. Our community is a cornerstone of our approach, exemplified by Pear Studio, a collaborative workspace designed to foster innovation and connection among entrepreneurs. We are dedicated to identifying and nurturing exceptional talent, helping them transform great ideas into iconic, long-lasting companies.
