Job description
Wrisk is reinventing insurance for today’s digital consumer and helping an outdated industry become relevant again in the process.
In the same way that fintech companies have disrupted the traditional banking sector, reimagining financial platforms for a new generation, Wrisk’s founders share a vision for how insurance ought to be: simple, transparent and personal.
Bringing together two disparate industries (technology and insurance), they have created an insurance experience like no other, centred squarely around the customer.
The result is Wrisk: flexible insurance that adapts to fit your life.
Our mobile-first, frictionless platform lets people interact with their insurance provider with the same ease, speed and transparency they’re already used to having with providers in other sectors.
Customers can pay monthly, instantly make changes to their cover and bring all their disclosure, payment and claim information together in a single place.
