You will travel to different countries and will be an essential stakeholder in creating the insurance products to be launched for the market/product category, ensuring we know everything we need to know before entering a new country.
You will be working alongside Product Managers, researching and drawing conclusions from local user needs, cultural expectations, insurance regulations and competitor trends to identify the best windows of opportunity for Hedvig.
What about you?
You have proven experience in driving complex analysis and research cases or have supported international expansion for digital businesses in the past
You are not only strategic and analytical but also a great communicator. Your communication skills are key to your success as you will have to communicate complex information in a structured and easy-to-understand manner, both verbally and in writing.

More important than all of this, you are passionate about learning new things and finding an efficient way to push projects forward to help us expand internationally. You may love to travel and are curious about different cultures and processes. Being hands on and a “do-er” that takes initiative and ownership is what we need to help us grow in new locations.
We highly value both a good attitude and personality and place a lot of emphasis on these "soft skills".
