Description de poste

Wakam is a European B2B2C insurer that designs whitelabel insurance products for its partners (e-retailers, brokers and fintechs / insurtechs, etc.). Our insurance products have the particularity of being embedded in the products or services offered to the end-customer (for example, you take a self-service e-scooter, you are automatically insured). Wakam operates in 32 European countries with the majority of its turnover generated outside France. The company provides most of its products through API, and hosts white label insurance solutions via its Play&Plug technology platform. At Wakam we believe in the formula “for-profit & for good”. Since March 2021, we are a Mission-driven company, which means that our mission statement ‘Enabling transparent and impactful insurance’ is written in our bylaws. And we go further: by defining 9 concrete commitments to illustrate this mission, such as writing our insurance contracts in plain language (no more confusing terms and conditions). We also create insurance products at cost for associations. Our culture? Free to impact. A culture where everything is possible, where all ideas are taken into consideration, where everyone has an impact on the transformation of insurance! Hungry for freedom? Thirsty for autonomy? If you are adventurous and like challenges, then the Wakam adventure might be made for you!
