About the Employer

Our client is one of Europe's fastest-growing InsurTech companies, transforming the way professional insurance is purchased by small businesses. Backed by over €40 million in funding and already serving tens of thousands of customers across Europe, the company is now launching its next phase of international growth.

With a proven business model, ambitious expansion plans, and significant investment behind them, this is an opportunity to join at a pivotal stage and help build the commercial foundation for a brand-new market.

The Opportunity

If you're entrepreneurial, enjoy building something from scratch, and want a genuine pathway into sales leadership, this role offers the opportunity to grow into Sales Lead and ultimately Head of Sales as the business expands.
