Founding Sales Representative - Dutch Market - Full Time

🚀 Who are we? Orus is one of Europe's fastest-growing insurtechs (ranked #11 in the Sifted 100: France & Benelux 2026) on a mission to simplify professional insurance for small businesses across the continent.

Professional insurance today is complex, opaque, and inefficient. At Orus, we believe it should be simple, fast, transparent, and human.

Backed by over €41M in funding, including a €25M Series B in June 2025, and supported by leading European entrepreneurs, insurance executives, and top-tier funds, Orus already serves more than 60,000 customers across Europe.

Now, we're opening our next chapter: the Netherlands.

To drive this new market, we've recruited a top-tier profile with proven experience scaling fast-growing and big tech companies: Hugo Suidgeest, our new General Manager for the Netherlands.
