Are you ready to help build something from the ground up, in one of the fastest-growing corners of M&A? Marktlink Insurance is a dedicated brokerage entity within the Marktlink Group, launched in February 2026, that specializes in transaction insurance solutions for M&A deals. Transaction insurance helps buyers, sellers and investors manage deal risk, run a smoother negotiation process and execute transactions with greater certainty.

The largest part of this market consists of W&I insurance, which protects a buyer if a warranty breach or (tax) indemnity claim arises under the SPA. For transactions above €50M enterprise value, W&I has become standard. In the mid-market, the opportunity across transaction insurance is still wide open and growing fast. Backed by Marktlink's deal flow, distribution power and strong brand, and led by an experienced Managing Partner, we are building a market-leading transaction insurance practice.

To help us build this practice, we are looking for a Medior or Senior Associate Insurance to join our team.
