About Olé Life

Olé Life is not building a traditional insurance company — it is rewriting the rules of how protection works in Latin America.
The company already protects more than 10,000 families, doubles its size every year, and is backed by top-tier investors such as PayPal Ventures and Mundi Ventures. Its mission is clear: to make life insurance more accessible, digital, and human, through product innovation, USD-based protection, and a fully digital experience across the region.

An opportunity to grow with Olé Life during the most dynamic stage of its expansion in Latin America.

The Position

• Build and lead the sales team: define org structure, hire key roles, and foster a performance-driven culture.
• Define and track sales KPIs (conversion, productivity, CAC/LTV) and work with Data/Ops to develop dashboards and reporting tools.
• Collaborate with Product, Marketing, and Customer Success to align lead generation, feedback loops, and client experience.
• Shift the current relationship-driven model toward a more performance-led, tech-enabled sales engine.
• Support regional expansion by designing country-specific go-to-market strategies.

• Data-driven mindset with the ability to design, implement, and act on performance metrics.
• Experience designing incentive programs, growth experiments, and engagement strategies.
• Fluency in Spanish and English required; Portuguese is a strong plus.

Key Traits

• Ability to thrive in dynamic environments, with initiative and autonomy to take projects from strategy to execution.
• Strong skills in building, guiding, and motivating commercial teams, fostering a high-performance culture.
• Customer-oriented mindset with a practical understanding of agent and broker needs.
• Analytical and systemic approach to designing scalable processes and repeatable models.
• Collaborative spirit and ability to work cross-functionally, aligning commercial objectives with overall company strategy.
