Product Director Insurance

Amsterdam, North Holland, Netherlands

About Insify

Insuring your car or mobile phone is easy online. But insuring the risk you take with your business and yourself (or your loved ones) as an entrepreneur is a real pain for entrepreneurs today. Manual forms, forced coffees with advisers, endless (irrelevant) questions to fill in and high prices ... and once insured, what if your turnover increases or you take on more staff? Chances are you won't be covered, but you won't know until you make a claim. Insify is on a mission to solve this for entrepreneurs.

Insify is a well-funded InsurTech Series A company based in Amsterdam, dedicated to helping entrepreneurs create financial security for their business and themselves. Our team is led by experienced entrepreneurs who have built successful businesses in the fintech/e-commerce space (SumUp, HelloFresh, Bloomon, Knab, and more). We are backed by Europe's largest insurers and investors. We are ready to disrupt the $720 billion global insurance business.
