HR Officer

Are You Our New Human Resource Colleague?

We are looking to expand our international Human Resources team with an HR Officer, who has a passion for personnel administration and customer service.

Who are we?

The RiskPoint Group is a global Managing General Underwriter (MGU) providing best-in-class insurance solutions backed by the insurance companies we act on behalf of.

We operate in an agile organization with close cross-border cooperation across all business lines.

Our organizational structure is flat, leaving many opportunities for all employees to make a difference, take responsibility, excel, and grow.

RiskPoint is more than just a place of work: We prioritize social events and despite being a company with more than 250 employees, we do consider ourselves one closely knitted company. This is the place to work.

Our HR function was set up in April 2021 when the company reached a 100 employee workforce. Today, our multi-national HR department provides services across 16 countries in Europe, North America, and AsiaPac. Currently, we are 250+ employees, but as we are planning the opening of new operations, we are looking to strengthen our HR department.

Our HR team is built upon an internationally decentralized operating model, meant to represent as many parts of the company as possible. As such, remote work collaboration between team members, regular travel, and strong communication to bridge the geographical distance are essential for our team.

We are in close contact with all parts of the company, including our centers of excellence, country management, Finance & Operations, Marketing & Communications, as well as other insourced and/or outsourced partners.
