Job Description

Our Client

Founded in 2021, Stoïk is Europe’s leading insurtech dedicated to cyber risk, with the ambition of becoming ‘the CISO of Europe'. The company was created to address a structural gap: while cyber threats have become one of the biggest risks for businesses, most existing solutions remain fragmented, overly technical, or designed only for large enterprises. 

The company has built a 360° cyber risk protection model that integrates cyber insurance, continuous risk prevention, detection, and in-house incident response teams, increasingly powered by proprietary AI technologies. This approach allows Stoïk to support companies before, during, and after a cyberattack, helping them maintain operations, reduce financial losses, and recover faster.

Stoïk protects more than 12,000 companies across Europe, works with over 2,000 broker partners, and operates in six European countries including France, Germany, Spain, Belgium, Austria, and Netherlands, supported by a fast-growing international team of specialists.

What’s in it for you?


•    The opportunity to be part of an experienced and dynamic team in an international and truly fast-growing company;
•    The chance to connect with colleagues across the organisation through quarterly visits to one of Stoïk’s international locations and an annual company-wide offsite;
•    Clear pathways for long-term career progression within a global underwriting environment;
•    Being part of a technology driven company;
•    A modern, hybrid working model offering genuine flexibility between working from home and in the office;
•    A competitive salary package with an attractive bonus scheme and comprehensive benefits.

What your future may hold


To further strengthen the growth of its team in Belgium, Stoïk is looking for a Senior Cyber Underwriter.
You will have the following tasks and responsibilities:
•    Underwrite and price Cyber risks for Mid-Market companies, in accordance with company guidelines, risk appetite, and authority limits;
•    Monitor and manage the financial performance of the Benelux Cyber book, reporting directly to the Head of Underwriting based in Paris;
•    Actively support and empower the commercial teams by accompanying them to strategic broker and client meetings to help secure key accounts, rather than focusing purely on direct relationship building;
•    Collaborate closely with the sales teams to drive cyber awareness and pipeline growth across the region;
•    Work hand-in-hand with the Incident Response teams (CERT) and Claims departments to ensure alignment on threat intelligence and claims trends.

Your skillset
•    You have minimum 5 years of relevant experience as a cyber underwriter gained within a reputable insurance company, a Managing General Agent (MAG), or a specialised broker;
•    You have a proven track record of handling cyber risks in the Benelux market, with a strong understanding of SME and mid-market business dynamics;
•    You bring a strong financial acumen, a technical understanding of cyber security frameworks, and a highly collaborative, solution-oriented mindset to effectively support sales efforts;
•    You have an excellent knowledge of Dutch and English. Other languages are a plus;
•    You are humble and enjoy working in a fast-growing start-up.
