Senior Cyber Underwriter (Benelux) - #46696

About Stoïk

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.

Backed by €70m+ in funding from top-tier investors (a16z, Alven, Munich Re), 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.

About the role

We are seeking a highly skilled and commercially minded Senior Cyber Underwriter to drive the profitable growth of our Cyber portfolio across the Flemish region of Belgium and the Netherlands.

• Portfolio Management & Reporting: Monitor and manage the financial performance of the Benelux Cyber book, reporting directly to the Head of Underwriting.

• Sales Support & Business Development: 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.

• Market Knowledge: Proven track record of handling cyber risks in the Benelux market, with a strong understanding of SME and mid-market business dynamics.

• Analytical & Commercial Skills: Strong financial acumen, a technical understanding of cyber security frameworks, and a highly collaborative, solution-oriented mindset to effectively support sales efforts.

Language Requirements

• Flemish / Dutch: Native or bilingual proficiency (essential for local broker engagement and policy analysis).

• English: Fluent/Business proficient (written and spoken) for corporate and internal reporting.

• Other Languages: Proficiency in French, German, Spanish, Italian, or any other European language is considered a distinct advantage.

What We Offer

• A competitive salary package with an attractive bonus scheme.
