A rare opportunity to build the foundations of People and Talent in a fast-scaling European insurtech and shape how high standards scale.

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.

Our culture (read this carefully):

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 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.

Your mission:

As a People & Talent Associate, you will support the full employee lifecycle at Insify: from hiring and onboarding to early performance and culture operations. We are looking for someone eager to grow into this role!

You will work closely with the Talent Lead and VP People to ensure that hiring runs smoothly, new joiners start strong, and managers are supported with structure and clarity. Some of the work is operational. Some of it is strategic. All of it matters.

This role is for someone who wants to learn how a high-performance People function is built from the inside.

What you'll be up to (some examples):

• Support hiring operations: scheduling, candidate communication, ATS hygiene
• Prepare contracts, documentation, and ensure compliance accuracy
• Coordinate onboarding and ensure new joiners are set up for success
• Support People operations including offboarding, HR systems, payroll inputs, and documentation
• Help maintain policies and internal documentation
• Assist with engagement initiatives, surveys, and cultural touchpoints
• Support office operations and internal events that strengthen team cohesion
• Spot process gaps and propose practical improvements
• You will help keep the People engine running smoothly as we scale.

This is a strong fit for you if:

• Have 0-2 years of experience in HR, operations, consulting, or a structured environment
• Are highly organized and reliable
• Communicate clearly and confidently
• Are comfortable working in-person and collaborating closely with stakeholders
• Thrive in fast-moving environments with high standards
• Want to grow into a People Partner or Talent Operations career path
