Customer Success Specialist (Dutch and English speaking Location NL )

Hello were Laka

You might not have heard of us yet - thats OK youve found us now - come and find out more about our journey...

Founded in 2017 Laka set out to transform insurance by connecting passionate cyclists to form a collective and protect their bikes for when things go wrong - a better model for insurance was born. For once people come first in insurance by fairly sharing the cost amongst each other. We exist to rewrite the rules of insurance so its something people stand with not against.

Our model: Laka makes sure everything runs smoothly for The Collective - from exceptionally fast claims splitting the cost fairly guaranteeing a maximum price and all the other heavy lifting of a regulated insurance business. For that service the collective pays Laka a fee relative to the claims in a month.

Take a closer look at exactly what this means and how it works here.

What have we been up to since then...

In a nutshell weve been very busy! Here are a few of the massive achievements weve had:

Raised an awesome Series B investment round of over $10m

Grown the team to over 60 Lakanauts based across the UK and NL enabling a choice-based remote-first way of working

Launched Laka in a total of 9 countries essentially helping more people in more places!

Captured the UK and NL enthusiast cyclist market and expanded into commercial business partnering

Been awarded Best Cycle Insurance Provider (for the past 7 years in a row - go us! )

Weve also achieved a 5* rating on Google Reviews and Glassdoor - go check us out!

Help us continue to change an outdated industry...

Were growing real fast on our path to make the Laka collective model the industry standard and were expanding across segments products and territories. Were looking for innovative bold and brave minds to help us build the worlds best insurance company.
