Why you’ll love it here
At Balcia, we're building a different kind of insurance company, one that moves fast, challenges the status quo, and puts people at the centre of everything we do. You'll work in a modern office in Riga city centre with hybrid work opportunities and occasional access to Balcia offices across Tallinn, Warsaw, and Vilnius. We believe flexibility helps people do their best work.
Our flat organizational structure means less bureaucracy and more ownership. You'll have the freedom to make decisions, contribute ideas, and create real impact. We trust people to take initiative and own the outcome.
We're also not big fans of "that's how it's always been done." We continuously challenge ourselves to improve, experiment, and find smarter ways of working. We call this Outsmart Yesterday.
At the same time, we believe high performance and humanity go hand in hand. We communicate openly, support one another, celebrate successes, and learn from mistakes together. That's how we stay human and keep it crystal clear.
To help you succeed, we'll provide structured onboarding, the tools you need, and opportunities to keep learning and growing throughout your journey with us.
If you're looking for a place where you can make an impact, grow quickly, and help shape the future of insurance, we'd love to meet you.
