German-speaking Project Manager (UK or Germany)

What are you looking for, KASKO?

We are looking for an awesome Project Manager, who will deliver on time and really impress our customers. You will have to speak to clients, our developer team and coordinate the project delivery process.

Great, and suppose I am one, why should I join you?

Well, we are the fastest growing insurtech globally in terms of insurance partners and products delivered over the past 18 month, revolutionising the multitrillion dollar insurance industry. So, you have the opportunity to work on fast-paced projects with board-level attention, learn loads and leave your mark within an exponentially fast-growing business. Oh, and we are a friendly and fun bunch of folks to work with!

OK KASKO, well that sounds good, but what do you do actually?

Great question! We are an InsurTech business. With the help of our brilliant tech, we’re building the first truly global marketplace connecting insurers to digital ecosystems and their customers.

Insurance? Tech? That sounds kinda boring.

Haha, you’re not the first person to say that. But don’t judge a book by its cover! Insurance is one of the largest and richest industries in the world, but it’s way behind in terms of tech innovation. At KASKO we are looking to become the backbone that drives and enables that change for the whole industry. We are making insurance sexy again 😜! Interested? Read on!

Solving a Problem

Insurance – we all need it, most people are confused by it and few really “get it”. While most other things are now super easy to buy and handle online, insurance is still a nightmare.

Existing legacy IT-systems stifle insurer innovation, meaning they can’t build new products quickly, offer them in digital channels, integrate cool new services or data, and test what works and what doesn’t, effectively.

KASKO’s Solution

KASKO offers an end-to-end insurance platform allowing insurers to build, run and continuously optimise digital insurance products in any distribution channel quickly, cost-effectively and flexibly.

Thus, we empower the multi-trillion-dollar insurance industry to embark on the digital revolution that other industries have gone through already. We allow insurers to build better products for consumers and to offer those in any channel and ultimately move from a fragmented offline world to a truly global, digital marketplace.

Who We Are

We’re an InsurTech business backed by some of the UK’s top investors incl. Seedcamp (Backers of: Transfer Wise, Property Partner and Revolut) and Chris Slater (Co-founder Simply Business, 500m exit).

We have an amazing technology platform, clients that are keeping us super busy 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 a cheap so come and meet us to find out for yourself.

The Job

You will be a Project Manager in the UK (London) or Germany (Hamburg or Munich where you could meet your colleagues regularly, or elsewhere remotely) and will be the face to our insurance partners during the implementation and live stages of key projects.

You will engage with stakeholders internally (developers and product managers) and externally (insurance clients and distribution partners), scoping and delivering projects like new product launches.

You will learn a great deal about the art of project management and operations and see all aspects around running a start-up and scaling a business. We expect you to take large areas of responsibility and independent delivery. You will take care of:

Scoping a product/project
Crafting a project plan
Guiding the client along the way
Identifying problem areas and potential solutions
Running the professional communication with the client
Coordinating communication with our developer and sales teams to discuss features and delivery timelines
Suggesting and scope additional features to the platform
Supporting and structure operational activities

This job is a great opportunity to become part of a well-funded, growing business during the scale-up phase. Your career progression is much faster than in a regular (corporate) role and the responsibilities and learning opportunities are far greater and more dynamic. We are a bunch of cool (well mummy says so), smart people on a mission to profoundly innovate the insurance landscape, building something amazing with a great team. You wanna be part of that?

You are:

Fluent in English and German (other languages are a plus)
Someone who either has a background in insurance or a previous work experience in B2B enterprise project management at startup
Highly proficient in Excel & PowerPoint
Hardworking and also enjoy life
Eager to keep learning
And have a can-do and humorous attitude

You’re independent and take responsibility for large areas of delivery.

Benefits

Only as a team can we make our vision a reality. We offer

An attractive salary package
Options for all (based on experience and performance)
Flexible working conditions
Unlimited holiday (you’re responsible for your own time off)
Company Laptop
Learning budget

Shape the future of KASKO and the entire insurance industry.
