Go-to-Market Leader, Insurance Vertical

The Opportunity Insurance is one of eGain's most strategically important verticals. The industry is undergoing profound transformation: AI is reshaping underwriting, claims, distribution, and customer service operations at unprecedented speed. Carriers face acute pressure to modernize knowledge workflows, ensure regulatory compliance in AI-driven interactions, and deliver consistent customer experiences across digital and agent-assisted channels. eGain is uniquely positioned to capture this opportunity. This role exists to build the GTM engine that translates that positioning into market leadership - through direct selling, thought leadership, demand generation, and a robust partner ecosystem spanning Guidewire, Salesforce, NICE, Genesys, and leading systems integrators.
