Strategic Project Manager

Who are they? Orus is a European insurtech growing fast, with a lot of ambition. The idea was born from a simple observation: professional insurance is too complex and inefficient. Professionals don't know what coverage they need, how and when it applies, and often end up powerless or poorly protected. Orus is therefore the insurance professionals have been waiting for: simple, fast, transparent, and above all human. At the heart of our mission: A simple and understandable user experience Putting technology at the service of tomorrow's insurance To make this happen, Côme, Tom and Samuel, Orus's co-founders, have raised a total of €41 million, including a Series B round in 2025, giving them the opportunity to be backed by top funds and private investors, including the CEOs of Pennylane and Hiscox Europe 💙 Today, Orus keeps growing at a steady pace, with a rollout in France, Spain, and the Netherlands, and an accelerating pace of new insurance product launches (3 in 2025, about a dozen planned for 2026, and around twenty for 2027).
