Entrepreneur in Residence – Marketing (50-100%)

About Helvengo
Helvengo is an insurtech company based in Zurich that revolutionizes the way that small and medium sized companies cover their business risks through innovative insurance products. Being entrepreneurs ourselves, we know how challenging starting and running a business can be at times and therefore want to alleviate some of the pain that entrepreneurs face when dealing with business insurance today. We feel comfortable in pursuing this audacious goal as our founding team has vast experience in technology and leading insurtech companies. As the first employees of Europe’s No.1 insurtech, we have gained valuable experience on how to found a business and supported scaling it to become a unicorn. At Helvengo, we apply these learnings to replicate this success.

For this journey that is fueled by our first investment round from renowned investors, we are looking for a passionate entrepreneur who is willing to join our team and support the management first-hand.
