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.

How we work

At Insify, our culture is built on four core values: grit, impact, care, and entrepreneurship. We embody grit by facing challenges head-on and persisting where others might fail. Our unwavering belief in our mission drives us to overcome obstacles and ensure our customers are always well-covered.

We are dedicated to making a positive impact in our customers' lives, earning their trust every day. Our commitment to care ensures that we prioritize our customers' needs and well-being in everything we do.

Entrepreneurship fuels our innovation—we challenge industry norms, move quickly, and embrace new ideas without fear of failure. We think bigger and aim higher, achieving more than anyone else in the process.

After careful consideration and extensive discussions, we made the decision to adopt a pro-office approach. We understand this may not be for everyone, but we are committed to creating a strong community and moving quickly to innovate and serve our customers better.

As an employee, you will find that collaboration and innovation flourish in our workspace, where spontaneous interactions and casual conversations often spark creative breakthroughs. These "water cooler" moments and impromptu brainstorming sessions are integral to our dynamic culture, allowing for quick feedback and efficient problem-solving.

Joining Insify means becoming part of a community where shared experiences, from team lunches to collaborative meetings, foster a sense of belonging that is difficult to replicate in a virtual setting. For new hires, the office environment is especially crucial; you will benefit from observing and learning directly from your colleagues, accelerating your onboarding and integration into our team.

If you're ready to join a team that embodies grit, makes a meaningful impact, cares deeply for our customers, and embraces an entrepreneurial spirit, we invite you to apply and become part of our innovative journey at Insify.
