At Insify, we build insurance for entrepreneurs because we are entrepreneurs ourselves. We know what it’s like to build something from scratch, to take risks, and to carry responsibility that doesn’t switch off at 5 pm.
Our mission is simple but ambitious: to make business insurance 10x simpler, faster, and fairer for entrepreneurs and SMEs across Europe. No paperwork. No fine print. No legacy complexity. Just modern software, smart automation, and a relentless focus on the customer.
We are a high-growth European scale-up, backed by €43M from world-class investors, on a mission to become a global leader in digital insurance for entrepreneurs and SMEs. Starting in the Netherlands, we’ve expanded into France and Germany, and we’re only accelerating from here.
At our core, we’re a tech company. We build our own insurtech platform and rely heavily on data, automation, and AI to redesign the end-to-end insurance experience: from underwriting to claims. Combined with a fully digital customer portal and strong UX, we’re turning insurance into something surprisingly simple, transparent, and fair.
We’re led by seasoned entrepreneurs who’ve built and scaled companies before, and we bring that same ambition, urgency, and ownership mindset to everything we do.
⸻
We’re not just building a company, we’re building a category leader. That comes with ambition, responsibility, and pace.
Our culture is defined by three things:
-
High ownership
People own problems end-to-end. If something is unclear or broken, we don’t wait — we step in and fix it. -
High pace
Priorities shift, and decisions are made quickly. We value momentum and learning over perfection. -
High standards
Outcomes matter more than optics. We care about results, quality, and follow-through.
At the same time, you won’t be doing this alone.
We believe great work happens through close collaboration. We work in-person, challenge each other’s ideas, and expect contributions from everywhere, regardless of title or tenure. The best ideas often come from unexpected places, and we create space for them to surface.
This is a human-sized company. You’ll know the people you work with, you’ll be able to walk over to anyone to ask a question or test an idea, and you’ll be part of the day-to-day energy of building together: from whiteboard discussions to shared lunches, dogs in the office, and moments to pause and reset.
We hire smart, ambitious people who think like owners, value intellectual honesty, and are motivated by impact rather than comfort. If you enjoy challenge, responsibility, and building something meaningful with others, you’ll likely thrive here.
If you’re looking for predictability, narrow scopes, or a guaranteed 9-to-5, this likely won’t be the right fit — and that’s okay. We’d rather be honest upfront.
Run and stabilise our finance operations from day one across accounting, cash management, tax, compliance, and business partnering, keeping the function fully operational throughout the interim period and leaving it in a stronger, well-documented state.
Take immediate ownership of the monthly close, budgeting, and forecasting cycles, and turn the output into decisions the leadership team can act on
Own our reporting to risk carriers and stay ahead of regulatory and statutory obligations across NL, FR, and DE
Partner with the CEO and exec team on board materials, investor updates, and the financial story behind the strategy
Be genuinely hands-on with the AI and automation layer in finance: pull your own data, build your own reports, and replace manual work where you can
Prepare and review the annual financial statements
Lead first-year statutory audit preparation end to end
Run payroll
Document processes and ensure a clean handover to the permanent hire
Have 8+ years in finance, combining a foundation in Big 4 (audit, M&A, or transaction services) with operational finance in a fast-moving tech company
Read a balance sheet with a commercial lens, not just an accounting one
Have run the full close-to-report cycle and tightened the underlying processes as you went
Are technically self-sufficient: you write your own SQL, model in Excel, and use AI tools to remove finance grunt work
Operate as a real business partner across product, ops, and commercial, not as a back-office gatekeeper
Competitive compensation that reflects responsibility and impact
Trust and autonomy: you’ll have real ownership and room to make decisions
Space to grow and shape your role as Insify evolves, based on your interests and strengths
A steep learning curve, with support from experienced teammates
The opportunity to share in what we’re building, with equity for eligible roles once there’s mutual conviction on fit and impact
A welcoming, central Amsterdam HQ where we work closely together: shared lunches, dogs in the office, whiteboards, and fun end-of-week drinks
An international, ambitious team that enjoys building meaningful things together
