Why Open?
Open is on a mission to make it easy for everyone to get the most from their insurance. Insurance is one of the world’s least digitally mature industries – for years it’s remained confusing, paper-based and heavily intermediated. We launched in 2016 to build a global, AI-powered platform that digitises the entire insurance process, making it transparent, less costly and more reliable.
It’s an exciting time to join Open and be part of a tech scale-up. We provide our team with:

- Annual allowance for professional development – use it for professional coaching, a skills course, or an industry conference.
