Who this is not for

You prioritize a 40-hour work week

• We operate in a high-intensity startup-plus environment. This isn't a standard 9-to-5; driving global impact here requires a level of dedication and an always-on spirit that goes well beyond the typical 40-hour work week.

You prefer your comfort zone

• We operate at the edge of our capabilities; if you aren't comfortable with constant change and being challenged, you won’t thrive here.

You prefer to stay high-level

• While this is a strategic role, no task is too small. If you aren't willing to roll up your sleeves and get into the weeds of execution, this isn't the right fit.

A steep learning curve feels daunting

• We move fast and use cutting-edge AI; you need to be an aggressive self-learner who can master new domains in days, not months.

What we offer

Competitive compensation

• We want to attract and retain the best, so we are offering a compensation package that aligns with that.

In-office

Grow in a growing company

• There’s no better place to develop your talents and learn new skills. Help us show the world that insurance can be simple, transparent, and trustworthy.

Experienced entrepreneurs

• Work with experienced and dedicated entrepreneurs as part of an international team.

Energetic environment

• As a start-up, we’re different from your usual insurers. We scale rapidly and you can pick your own initiatives, helping us grow as we help more and more customers across Europe.
