Wakam is a B2B2C insurance company that designs tailor-made solutions for its partners — brokers, insurtechs, retailers and more.
Our products are distributed white-label and seamlessly embedded into customer journeys.
What does that look like in real life?
You rent an e-scooter — you're already insured without even thinking about it. 🪄🛴
Our Play&Plug platform is the engine behind everything we do.
It’s what allows us to distribute insurance products across 32 countries in Europe, via a full suite of APIs that manage the entire policy lifecycle — from pricing to administration.
And to power all this?
We work with the best tech-TPAs on the market and the most effective orchestrators for each business line.
At Wakam, we’re not just doing insurance. In March 2021, we became a mission-driven company, with a purpose written into our legal status: to make insurance transparent and impactful. And we’re not just paying lip service.
We’ve made three concrete commitments to bring this mission to life every day:
Write our contracts in plain language (bye-bye legalese and jargon)
Ensure fair value distribution between all stakeholders — no excessive commissions or unbalanced ratios
Fund social initiatives through our endowment fund, which supports people facing psychological exclusion
Yes — we believe insurance can genuinely drive positive change. And we’re looking for people who share that vision.
Our culture? Free to impact.
A culture where anything is possible, where every idea is heard, and where everyone has the power to reshape insurance.
But it’s more than just words.
Our daily work is guided by 11 cultural markers that shape the way we collaborate, innovate, make decisions, and grow. They’re the colourful stickers you’ve probably spotted in our photos. 😄
So — craving freedom? Looking for autonomy?
If you're bold and love a challenge, the Wakam adventure might just be for you!
Mindset compatibility with our ‘Free to Impact’ culture:
Wakam is not based on a hierarchy but on a methodology where everyone finds his role and knows his objectives.
With a flat hierarchical system and a highly collaborative operating model, Wakam is an extremely agile and transparent company.
Every last Friday of the month, it's FreeDay at Wakam, a day without meetings to take a step aside and dedicate ourselves to skills sponsorship or other activities (because we are curious, I remind you).
Full-remote is a reality at Wakam (there is even one Wakamee who works from his sailing boat ⛵)
We are nice (you'll find out by yourself 😉)
