Business Development Representative, Manufactured Housing
About SafeLease
At SafeLease , we're rethinking how P&C insurance is sold in an age of technological change. We believe the industry's biggest inefficiencies aren't technical problems — they're structural ones. And we're building the team to tackle them.
SafeLease is a profitable insurance business that designs, underwrites, and distributes specialty coverage for commercial property owners and their tenants. Most insurance companies either distribute products or bear the risk — we do both. We back our policies with our own capital, which means we control the full stack: product design, tech, and the speed at which we move. That end-to-end ownership lets us offer customers real flexibility, saving time and money for more than 4,000 properties insured for billions in value nationwide.
We're a team of 70, growing over 100% annually, and we've done it without sacrificing profitability or culture. Here, you'll get high discretion and a wide aperture of problems to solve. We embrace the newest technologies, move fast together, and operate with the intensity of a small company where every person's work is visible. If you're looking for a place to sharpen your craft alongside people who take their work seriously, you'll fit right in.
About the Role

You’ll own top-of-funnel prospecting to identify, engage, and qualify Manufactured Housing operators across the country.

As one of the first BDRs dedicated to this market, you’ll also have a meaningful role in helping us build the playbook .

The ideal candidate is highly coachable, competitive, comfortable with ambiguity, and excited by the opportunity to help build something.
This is an excellent opportunity for someone who wants to accelerate their sales career while making an impact from day one. High-performing BDRs will have opportunities for career growth within a company where exceptional performance is recognized and rewarded.
