Strategic Account Manager

About Us Fortify’s roots are in restoration, and that foundation gives us credibility with carriers and policyholders alike. But we believe restoration alone isn’t enough. The industry performs better when loss is prevented where possible and response is coordinated when it’s not. Fortify is building a platform that aligns insurance carriers, property owners, and service providers across prevention, response, restoration, and rebuild. Through Fortify’s growing portfolio of operating companies—including Rytech, Insurcomm, and additional businesses we will bring into the ecosystem—this alignment is delivered at scale. The Role The Account Executive is a relationship-driven sales professional who manages and grows national insurance carrier and TPA relationships across Fortify's platform. This role uniquely blends strategic relationship management with tactical execution—you'll be both a strategic partner for key accounts and a hands-on executor who ensures exceptional customer service, smooth onboarding, and continuous program expansion. You will spend the majority of your time managing existing national carrier and TPA partnerships—handling everything from day-to-day inquiries to strategic business reviews—while dedicating 25–50% of your time to pursuing new carrier and TPA relationships that will drive Fortify's growth. This is a versatile, high-impact role for someone who thrives on building strong relationships, solving problems, and driving results. You understand that great account management requires both strategic thinking and flawless execution. You're comfortable engaging with operational contacts and program decision-makers alike. You bring the energy of a business developer with the discipline of a customer success professional. The ideal candidate has experience in the insurance ecosystem, particularly with national carriers or TPAs, and understands the nuances of managed repair programs, vendor relationships, and multi-location service delivery. This role reports to the Head of Carrier & Program Sales and works closely with cross-functional teams across operations, regional leadership, and corporate functions.
