Job Description

𝗔𝗰𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁 𝗘𝘅𝗲𝗰𝘂𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 (𝗡𝗟) 𝗚𝗲𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝘂𝘀 👋 Paperbox is the mail-to-decision engine for insurance claims, underwriting and policy admin. We turn inbound documents and emails into accurate, auditable decisions, faster. The result: lower cost, better customer experience and simpler compliance. Do you know the feeling of waiting forever for your insurer to answer your email? That is what we solve. Insurance still runs on its mailroom: central mailboxes full of emails and attachments that need to be read, routed, prioritised and archived into back-office systems. Our AI agents take over that work, from the inbox all the way to the decision, so insurance teams can focus on their customers. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘀𝗲𝘁𝘀 𝘂𝘀 𝗮𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁 - 𝗔𝘂𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲: every answer is traced back to its source - 𝗠𝗮𝗶𝗹 𝘁𝗼 𝗱𝗲𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻: we deliver outcomes, not just speed - 𝗛𝘂𝗺𝗮𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱: agents automate, people decide - 𝗡𝗼 𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗸-𝗶𝗻: your data stays yours We believe technology should improve the way people work, towards a future where nobody is just a number. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲 🧭 Paperbox serves 150+ insurers, brokers and claims organisations across Belgium, the Netherlands and the UK, and has grown past €2M ARR while staying capital-efficient. In 2026 we joined forces with Adlib, a US document intelligence group with 20+ years of experience in regulated industries, backed by Diversis Capital. Same team, same product, same Ghent roots, now with the reach, resources and enterprise relationships of an international software group. Our next chapter is international growth in the Netherlands, the UK and the US. We are expanding our sales team to make that happen, and we are looking for hunters who want to open those doors with us.

About Paperbox

Industry: Software Development

Company size: 11-50 employees

Hi there! We are Paperbox! Paperbox is an AI software company building the insurance mailroom of the future. Ever felt like you're waiting forever for your insurer to reply to your email? That's what we are solving! Insurance historically is a manual labor-intensive, admin-heavy industry. A lot of manual work goes into reading incoming requests, processing emails and attachments from central mailboxes, forwarding to colleagues, scheduling and prioritizing tasks and archiving information in insurance back-office systems. Our solution reduces friction and brings structure to the biggest bottleneck of insurance operations: the Mailroom. We believe technology should improve the way people interact, creating a future where nobody is put on hold.
