Account Executive BE (Hunter)

Get to know us! 👋

Hi there! We are Paperbox!

Paperbox is a market leader in delivering AI Agents for claims & policy admin, serving insurers and brokers.

Do you know the feeling of having to wait forever for your insurer to answer your email? That is what we are solving!

Insurance historically is a manual labor-intensive, admin-heavy industry. A lot of manual labour goes into reading incoming requests, processing emails and attachments from central mailboxes, forwarding to colleagues, scheduling and prioritizing tasks and archiving information into insurance back-office systems.

Our AI Agent Clara reduces friction and brings structure to the biggest bottleneck of insurance operations: the Mailroom.

We believe technology should improve the way people interact and work towards a future where nobody is just a number.

Role 👀

As an Account Executive (AE) at Paperbox, you’ll play a key role in driving our growth. You’ll own the full sales cycle: from prospecting and engaging with potential customers, to running demos, shaping business cases, and closing deals.

You’ll be the face of Paperbox for insurers and brokers in Belgium/Netherlands, showing how our AI Agent Clara transforms their operations. Working closely with Marketing, Customer Success, and Product, you’ll help us expand our Dutch footprint and build strong, long-term customer relationships.

The right time and place 🧭

The last years we have been bootstrapping and building the foundations of our GTM machine. With over 50 customers in insurance, we have nailed down our ICP and value proposition.

We’re currently focused on expanding into the Belgium/Netherlands market as our primary growth engine, with plans to scale into the UK thereafter. We’re looking for someone who can take ownership of sales, converting early adopters into long-term customers and accelerating our growth.

This is what we value 🤸

We work hard to create a company culture where each individual can thrive in a healthy way and where we truly excel as a team. We keep the following values close to our heart:

• Stronger together: We deeply care about our customers, users and employees and we believe you can best take care of others if you focus on taking care of yourself too.
• Distributed ownership: Taking up responsibilities is encouraged. We share and create opportunities for each other to grow.
• Build to scale: Everything we do needs to be scalable. This mindset helps us create the impact needed to drive us forward.
• Quality, then speed: We work intentionally towards a bigger picture that requires us to think before we act. Building a foundation for future success is setting yourself up to win.
