Legal Counsel International Expansion

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 be doing:

- Be the trusted legal voice across the business, advising on Dutch and EU commercial and regulatory law, building our legal posture from the ground up, and making sure the business moves fast without moving blind

- Stay ahead of legal and regulatory developments across the Netherlands, France, and the markets we're entering next, and turn complex regulatory shifts into clear, strategic guidance the business can act on

- Own our international expansion from a legal perspective, helping navigate the groundwork that makes each new European market faster and smarter to enter than the last

- Partner with Product, Growth, and Commercial to launch new offerings, campaigns, and partnerships, bringing legal thinking into the room early, not as a final hurdle

- Build and scale our compliance infrastructure so it grows with us: practical, embedded, and designed for a company that's moving fast across multiple jurisdictions

- Own GDPR and our broader privacy framework, working cross-functionally to keep policies fit for purpose and genuinely embedded in how we build, not just filed away in a folder

This role is a strong fit if you:

You are a lawyer who’s done legal advice at a law firm and now wants to actually build something. You've seen how legal work gets done from the outside and you're ready to own it from the inside. Specifically, this role is for you if you want to:

- Move from advising businesses to being part of one, with real skin in the game and decisions that stick

- Join a disruptor taking on one of the most structurally broken industries in Europe

- Be at the forefront of AI adoption in a regulated industry, where the legal questions are genuinely new and genuinely interesting

- Shape multi-country expansion from the ground floor, not just reviewing contracts, but helping determine how we enter new markets

- Work in a team that moves fast and expects legal to keep up, not slow things down

You'll also need:

- A strong legal background in Dutch law , gained through education, in-house, or law firm experience; EU law is a significant advantage

- 3+ years of market experience working in the Netherlands

- Relevant industry exposure in financial services, insurance, or tech, though we're open to sharp generalists who learn fast

- Fluency in Dutch and English, any other European language is a plus!

- The ability to communicate clearly and confidently with senior stakeholders– with a point of view, not just a list of options

- Comfort with ambiguity, competing priorities, and driving multiple complex initiatives without losing the thread

This role is not for you if:

- You prefer reviewing work at the end of the process rather than shaping it from the start

- You need stable priorities and fully defined scope to perform well

- You're looking for a role where the legal team is a separate function the business works around

- You expect a long runway before taking real ownership
