About Insify

We are a start-up offering an end-to-end digital insurance platform focussing solely on European entrepreneurs and SMEs. We offer the best insurance to our customers thanks to our focus on user experience, our leading underwriting services, and our expertise in data. In short, we've made getting insured quick, transparent and simple.

We know how to innovate - our team of seasoned entrepreneurs has built a host of successful businesses in fintech and e-commerce (HelloFresh, Bloomon and SumUp to name a few!).We've already raised over €25M in funding from leading investors (Accel Ventures, Frontline Ventures, Visionaries Club, Nico Rosberg, etc.), who love what we do and see the potential for a revolution in digital insurance.

We started our journey in the Netherlands, and with our mission to make business insurance fast, simple and fair we have been able to have a significant impact on that market. Since last yea,r we also serve customers in France and Germany, and are rapidly expanding across the rest of Europe!

How we work

At Insify, we're building more than just an insurance company-we're creating a culture that's bold, caring, and built to make a real difference. Everything we do is driven by our core values: grit, impact, care, and entrepreneurship.

We show up with passion and perseverance. We solve real problems and put people first, especially our customers. And we're always looking for smarter, faster, more human ways to do things.

That's also why we've chosen a pro-office approach. We believe that working together, face to face, sparks creativity, builds stronger teams, and helps us learn faster, especially for new joiners. From spontaneous brainstorms to shared lunches, being in the same space makes the magic happen.

Joining Insify means being part of a team that truly backs each other and the entrepreneurs we serve. If you're ready to grow, innovate, and help reshape the insurance industry from the inside out-we'd love to meet you.

Legal Team

We make sure Insify stays legally on track-in a way that is clear, fair, and human. Whether it's reviewing contracts, navigating regulations, or supporting product development, we work behind the scenes to build trust and protection for both the company and our customers. We're not here to say "no," but to find the smartest way to say "yes" together. With new markets, products, and regulations constantly evolving, we're always ready for the next challenge.

What you'll do

• Act as a trusted legal partner across the business, providing sharp, pragmatic advice on a range of topics, particularly French commercial law and regulatory matters. You'll help shape our legal posture as we scale.
• Support the development and upkeep of our compliance infrastructure, ensuring alignment with French and EU legal requirements, with a focus on practicality and scalability.
• Own GDPR and broader privacy frameworks. You'll work cross-functionally to ensure our policies are fit for purpose, up-to-date, and embedded in product and ops.
• Partner with product, growth, and commercial teams to launch new offerings, campaigns, and partnerships-bringing legal thinking into business decision-making early and often.
• Track legal and regulatory developments in fintech and insurance (especially in France) and translate them into strategic, actionable advice for the business.

What we're looking for:

• Legal background with a focus on French law-either through education, in-house, or law firm experience.
• (Qualification not required, but we do value deep familiarity with French legal frameworks.)
• Ideally, 3+ years working in the French market. NL experience is a plus, but not a must.
• Background in financial services, insurance, or tech is helpful-but we're open to smart generalists too.
• Fluent in English; French is a strong advantage.
• Clear communicator, solution-oriented, and confident, advising senior stakeholders.
• Comfortable navigating ambiguity and working independently, but collaborative by nature.
