👋🏻 Hello, we're Laka
You might not have heard of us yet - that's OK, you've found us now - come and find out more about our journey...

Founded in 2017, Laka set out to transform insurance by connecting passionate cyclists to form a collective and protect their bikes for when things go wrong - a better model for insurance was born. For once people come first in insurance by fairly sharing the cost amongst each other. We exist to rewrite the rules of insurance so it's something people stand with, not against.

• 🚀 Opened 3 shiny new offices in London, Bristol & Amsterdam to provide spaces for people to collaborate as they like

Help us continue to change an outdated industry...

We're growing real fast on our path to make the Laka collective model the industry standard and we're expanding across segments, products, and territories. We're looking for innovative, bold and brave minds to help us build the world's best insurance company.

CX are firmly at the heart of why Laka was created - we exist to be there for people when shit happens - our CX function is where this magic takes place...

• Supporting Laka customers (& potential customers) with general questions about Laka's products & services, their bicycle insurance and new initiatives via web chat and email
• Help Laka members to file their claims and guide them through the process of replacing or repairing their bikes and kit either directly with us or by coordinating with third-parties (shops, manufacturers, distributors etc)
• Be the first point of contact for our B2B partners, supporting them to get their riders back on the road
• Work closely with the CX team across both the UK and NL to provide a convenient, swift and seamless experience to our members
• Collate feedback from the collective on an ongoing basis and produce actionable intel to support decision making, both in the CX team and others around Laka
• Get stuck into our squad-based work, with the goal to continue to make Laka the best it can be (you might find yourself working on exciting projects with the Marketing, Product or Technology teams)

• We require that you speak English and French/Dutch/German
• Have a super strong empathy for cyclists and what it means when someone has their bike nicked, damaged or injures themselves whilst out & about on their bike
• Have a decent understanding of technical terms in cycling (we can bring you up to speed with the latest bike tech), so you can best support all types of customers with whatever query is thrown your way
• Get loads of satisfaction from helping people going through a rough patch (losing your bike isn't easy, you know) - you'll understand what it means to go the extra mile and make a member's day
• Enjoy learning new things, working with a lovely bunch of people, and ultimately playing a huge part in the future of Laka!
• Are a fast learner and can get up to speed with common tools - we use a number of systems at Laka, but don't worry, we'll give you all the training you need
• Are comfortable chatting with our members, with excellent written communication in (native) Dutch & English

You might have already guessed it but it makes a lot of sense to be passionate about cycling when joining Laka. Don't worry about any insurance knowledge - we can teach you the ins-and-outs of insurance and support your knowledge on all things bike parts, too. Of course it is great if you already have previous insurance experience, "WFT" (insurance) certificates or experience as a bike mechanic.

We can work together on completing…
