Ready to build a market from scratch and shape the future of digital insurance in the Netherlands?
Our client is one of Europe’s fastest-growing insurtech scale-ups, founded in 2021 and backed by more than €41M in funding. With tens of thousands of customers already served across Europe, the company is now entering its most promising international market: the Netherlands.
To make this expansion a success, they are looking for their first commercial hire in the country. You will sign the first Dutch clients, structure the local sales approach, and lay the foundation for a scalable sales engine.
You won’t just join a launch. You will help make it succeed.

Adapt the pitch and sales strategy to the Dutch market

Refine scripts, qualification frameworks, and objection handling

Driving inbound sales performance

Convert inbound leads into customers in a full-cycle sales model

Manage the entire sales process from qualification to closing

Your profile

Analytical, structured, and KPI-driven
-
Entrepreneurial mindset: you enjoy building from zero
-
Strong feedback culture fit and team-oriented attitude
-
Ambitious, with clear leadership potential
-
Management experience is a plus, but this is not a manager role from day one. The focus is performance, structure, and long-term growth.
What’s in it for you?
-
Salary range depending on experience
-
Uncapped bonus with quarterly payouts
-
Equity package (approximately 30 percent of salary in stock options)
-
Fast career progression opportunities
-
Hybrid work model with flexibility
-
Direct exposure to leadership and founders
-
The opportunity to build and shape a new European market
Why join at this stage?
-
First commercial hire in the Netherlands

Real impact from day one

Strong financial backing and proven international expansion model
-
A mission-driven company modernizing a traditional industry
-
Clear path toward leading your own team
If you are looking for a high-impact role where you can combine sales excellence, strategic thinking, and leadership ambition, this opportunity offers exactly that.
