Who We Are
We're an InsurTech business working with some of the biggest and most innovative insurers in Europe, and have been growing our customer base steadily.
We have an amazing technology platform, a broad range of clients that are keeping us super busy, lots of experience, an amazing network of InsurTech and Insurance experts and a clear vision of where the insurance industry is going and how we can help it get there! But to do that, we need to expand our awesome team.
We’re a diverse bunch from all over the world, with backgrounds in everything from insurance and technology to languages and history and we believe that diversity is what makes us so strong, so everyone has the opportunity to shine, but words are cheap so come and meet us to find out for yourself.
The Job
You will be a Senior Business Developer based either in Germany or the UK with targeting both the DACH region and international opportunities. Business development into insurance companies isn’t easy. Large or small, they are usually slow and reluctant to change. Moreover, despite lots of funding both from insurers and insurtechs, it has been hard to win over new customers time and cost effectively. That is exactly why we combine best in class technology with experience-based shortcuts of what actually works in the market and help insurers to engage in initiatives that actually work.
You will be engaging insurers and identifying people within them, who want to drive the business forward and who can benefit from our technology and advisory services. You will present our offering and help to chase tangible opportunities. The key is to balance the need for relationship building and consulting with structured and scalable outreach. You will also need to engage with potential multipliers such as consultancies, solution providers, event organisers and accelerators so we can work together in targeting insurers.
We have a full CRM of leads to reach out to and experience both on direct (both tech and use-case focused), event-based and large scale outreach campaigns. We will advise you on what worked and didn’t work so well in the past but it’s up to you to find your way here. We really want you to be curious and proactive and pursue potential wherever you see it.
Responsibilities:
* Searching for insurance companies and the right people within them
* Ideating & executing relevant outreach campaigns
* Identifying projects and opportunities to position our product and service offering
* Following up with existing opportunities and engaging relevant stakeholders internally and externally
* Engaging with potential partners and prepare application forms, respond to RFI/RFPs and create and conduct pitch presentations
* Represent KASKO at events
* Work closely with our CEO and CSO on joint pitches and opportunities
About You:
* Fluent in English & German (additional European languages even better)
* University degree in Business or a related field
* 5+ years within sales, business development or account management roles, preferably with a background in technology sales or consulting within the insurance/finance industry
* Strong ability to build trust and maintain relationships with multiple stakeholders at all levels within a company
* Excellent communication, negotiation, and networking skills
* Ability to simply explain complex ideas and effective presentation skills
* Ability to multitask and work in a fast paced start-up culture
* Exemplary work ethic and a “get it done” attitude
We Offer:
* A collegial and international working environment
* Entrepreneurial freedom and a great level of creativity in your work
* Opportunity to meet and work with professionals and leaders within the InsurTech space
* An attractive salary package
* Stock options so you own part of KASKO
* Unlimited holiday (you’re responsible for your own time off)
* Flexible working hours and work from anywhere in Germany or the UK
* Hands-on experience in a dynamic business development environment
Only as a team can we make our vision a reality. Join us and shape the future of KASKO and the entire insurance industry!
