About Instnt

Fraud is inevitable. Fraud loss isn’t.

At Instnt, we’re not just optimizing a legacy identity solution—we’re inventing a new insurance category. We are the first to seamlessly merge cutting-edge AI-powered identity fraud protection with AM Best A-rated insurance. The result? Our clients stop watching fraud eat their margins and shift the entire risk off their books with a fixed premium and a 30-day reimbursement guarantee.

The service is revolutionary, but the team is the engine of disruption. Our CEO, a proven serial entrepreneur behind multiple successful companies, including a unicorn, has built a leadership bench of seasoned experts. For you, this means working alongside industry leaders and builders who know how to scale intelligently. We’re at an inflection point, not merely growing, but leading the market.

The Role
We are looking for a driven Sales Executive who thrives on creating opportunities and winning new business. This is a full-cycle, hunter role for someone who loves building pipeline, running discovery, delivering demos, and closing deals. You’ll be selling a first-to-market service that combines AI-powered fraud detection with A-rated insurance, something no other company offers. You’ll work closely with marketing and SDR teams for lead generation support while also prospecting and developing your own book of business. You’ll help financial institutions, financial services, and digital platforms transfer identity fraud loss to insurance, improve customer onboarding, and unlock new revenue through innovation. This is your chance to join early, sell a service with no competition, and grow with a company that’s defining a new category in insurance.

Below, we have reflected the base salary range we would offer for this position. Actual salaries may vary depending on factors, including but not limited to experience and performance. The range listed is just one component of Instnt’s total compensation package for employees, with equity being a significant part of the overall offer.

New York City: $120K- 140K yearly

What You’ll Do

  • Partner with marketing and SDR teams to optimize lead generation, messaging, and conversion
  • Collaborate with product and customer success to ensure seamless onboarding and high customer satisfaction
  • Consistently achieve and exceed monthly and quarterly revenue targets while maintaining strong CRM hygiene and forecasting discipline

Who You Are

  • You are a hunter by nature and the idea of selling a first to market service excites you
  • You have experience selling in to financial institutions (banks, credit unions) fintech or SaaS environments and can confidently navigate technical and business discussions
  • You are consultative, persuasive, and able to tailor value-based solutions to each client
  • You are resourceful, proactive, and motivated by impact more than structure
  • You thrive in startup environments where ideas move fast and every deal makes a visible difference
  • You want to be part of an early-stage company backed by proven founders and help shape a market that’s never existed before

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
