Description

Why adapt to the future when you can define it?

That’s exactly what the INSTANDA founders set out to do back in 2012. Born out of their frustration with how the legacy systems were holding back productivity across the Insurance sector, they knew there had to be a better way, so they built a solution that has been challenging the status quo ever since.

INSTANDA is the world’s first no-code platform for complex underwriting, and the first insurtech on Microsoft Azure. We have changed the way Insurers, Managing General Agents (MGAs), and Brokers can design and deliver insurance products to market, allowing them to configure new products at speed, and with huge cost-saving benefits.

INSTANDA has grown significantly in recent years and we are now a team of 120+ employees based in the UK and US, with partnerships that operate worldwide.

Our company was built by looking at the world through a different lens and our culture today reflects that by encouraging you to be yourself, speak your mind, and share your opinions. We want people who want to push themselves, be part of something great, and be prepared to challenge if they think there is a better way. Collaboration sits at the heart of how we operate, it has fueled our growth enormously and our aim to be ‘world class’. People at INSTANDA not only have a real sense of shared ownership, but are granted share options to benefit from our long term success making everyone an owner of the business.

So if this sounds like the place you can thrive in and grow your career, please keep reading!
