Head of Financial Operations

Alteos was founded in Berlin in 2018 and has since developed into one of the leading and, above all, most innovative providers in the field of embedded insurance, exclusively through sales partnerships. Our solutions are designed to give retailers and manufacturers of consumer foods an opportunity to enrich their own offerings with innovative insurance solutions. For example, we are the inventors of GPS bike insurance. This makes us the first provider on the market to actively use the "Internet of Things" to track down valuable e-bikes after they have been stolen.

However, all of our solutions are only good as the people who develop them and make them tangible. So if you are interested in exciting challenges and fascinating, complex tasks, you will meet some of the smartest and most motivated talents in the industry at Alteos.

To support our international, diverse team in our further growth, we are looking for reinforcement in all areas, including a Head of Financial Operations.
