About Us
Fortify’s roots are in restoration, and that foundation gives us credibility with carriers and policyholders alike.

But we believe restoration alone is not 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 Head of Carrier & Program Sales is an executive, externally facing growth leader responsible for advancing the vision of the Fortify platform with insurance carriers and program partners. This role owns the development, launch, and expansion of national and regional carrier programs across Fortify’s operating companies, including Rytech, Insurcomm, and future platform additions.

This is a growth-oriented commercial leadership role with a strong emphasis on personally opening new carrier relationships and scaling programs across the Fortify platform. The successful candidate believes in Fortify’s category evolution and actively leads the development of carrier partnerships that go beyond reactive restoration. In parallel, this role includes direct leadership of a small, high-performing team of account managers and business development leaders, working collaboratively to deliver strong customer outcomes.

This role reports to the Chief Commercial Officer and partners closely with executive leadership across Fortify.
