Sales Development Representative (SDR)
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 Agentic AI Solution 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 a Sales Development Representative (SDR) at Paperbox, you'll play a key role in driving our growth. You'll be the first point of contact for potential customers.
