Vice President Finance

Join to apply for the Vice President Finance role at 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 €43M 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.

About the role

The VP Finance will report to the CEO and serve as a key member of the leadership team, acting as the strategic financial partner across the business. You will drive the financial agenda, co-lead strategic initiatives, and help steer Insify’s ambitious mission. As a pioneer in digital insurance, Insify is redefining the industry landscape. To make a meaningful contribution to this journey, the VP Finance should be a forward-thinking and influential leader with a passion for innovation and a proven track record in guiding companies through rapid growth.

As a member of the leadership team, you will play a vital role in building the company and shaping its culture. At Insify, leadership means combining grit, care, impact, and entrepreneurship. You will lead by example, acting as a model for this culture and fostering an environment where people are empowered to take ownership, challenge conventions, and deliver meaningful results.

Insify is a fast-scaling and highly dynamic organization operating in a complex international environment. Your focus will be to build a robust, agile, and scalable financial foundation while shaping and executing the company’s strategic priorities.

You will immerse yourself in the business to understand its full commercial, technical, and operational context. You will monitor key metrics, identify risks, and uncover opportunities that drive long-term value. With a strong sense for change and business dynamics, you will anticipate shifts in the market or regulatory landscape, adapt priorities accordingly, and ensure Insify remains ahead of the curve. Your proactive leadership will strengthen financial discipline, optimize performance, and enable sound, forward-looking decision making.

What you will be doing

• Secure long term value creation through a deep understanding of Insify’s business model, key value drivers, growth milestones, and company risks.
• Partner with the CEO and the leadership team to shape corporate strategy and ensure full alignment with financial and operational objectives.
• Serve as a strategic financial advisor, challenging assumptions, driving performance, optimizing investments and cost structures, and ensuring accountability for growth and innovation goals.
• Lead the preparation of high quality documentation for board meetings, investor relations, strategic partnerships, and future funding rounds, including management presentations, investor materials, investment cases, and scenario analyses.
• Define and oversee financial business planning, including annual budgets, rolling forecasts, and regular business reviews.
• Motivate, coach, and develop a small team and manage relationships with external financial service providers.
• Ensure full compliance with local regulatory and statutory requirements, oversee fiscal responsibilities, and safeguard effective risk and cash management.

What you'll need

• Master’s degree in Corporate Finance or Economics, preferably complemented by a post-master qualification
• Proven experience as a Finance Leader, or second in command, in a rapidly growing, tech-based company, preferably internationally oriented
• We have a strong preference for someone with experience in investor relations, strategy, financial modeling and external financing
• Proven experience in building robust, scalable financial processes across regulatory compliance, accounting, reporting, business partnering, tax, and cash management, leveraging cutting-edge automation and AI where possible
• Fluency in English is required; Dutch is a plus

We offer a highly competitive compensation package including equity, pension contributions, travel reimbursement, 25 holidays, a flexible Alleo allowance, company MacBook, regular team events, leadership development and coaching, and a high degree of autonomy in a fast-growing environment where you can truly make an impact.
