About Athora

Athora Netherlands is one of the largest pension insurers in the Netherlands. With our brands Zwitserleven and Reaal, we take care of the financial security of our customers. So that they can live carefree when they stop working, or start something new. We are a partner for life.

We invest in a culture that brings out the best version of ourselves. Every day we go for it: Get the most out of yourself (and bring out the best in others), Stand up for what you do (and do what you stand for), Go for the best (and make better what is good), Focus on results (because results give direction).

We work together in and to create an inclusive work environment where everyone can flourish. And on the basis of responsibility and trust: you are in charge of a healthy work-life balance that is best suited for you and your team to achieve your team results.

About the team

The Buyout team is made up of two pillars: 

 A team is directed at the commercial approach to market The other team is directed at pricing and structuring. 

Both the pillar heads report directly to the Chief Commercial Officer, member of the Athora Executive Committee.

The pricing and structuring team has a close relationship with the commercial team sparring on the commercial approach and opportunities. It is a small team, where you learn a lot fast and have ample opportunity to contribute – also to other areas of the organization where Buyout initiatives may also help other endeavors. Collaboration within and beyond the team is what makes it work. There is always room for constructive dialogue where we challenge each other. That helps our customers and it also helps us grow and learn. The team is highly technical by most standards, but we also know how to have fun and maintain a healthy work-life balance.
