Insurance Broking for Gamechangers

Your Career at Risk Partners

Risk Partners is a100% owner-managed specialty brokerage firm specializing in risk management and insurance solutions. We support companies in our dynamic target markets—from startup through toan IPO in the EU and the U.S.As one of the fastest-growing specialty brokerage firms in the DACH region, we focus on quality, innovation, and excellent service —not on short-term profit targets. In our target sectors, we have quickly established market-leading positions since our founding in 2023, which we aim to further expand with you through our Risk Partners approach. Whether it’s supporting the latest cancer drug, the hottest deep-tech VC, the most successful PE search fund, the newest AI company, or the rapidly growing chip manufacturer, we offer you the opportunity to grow alongside our fast-growing clients.  You’ll regularly see reports about your clients in Gründerszene, Manager Magazin, or the Handelsblatt—simply put, companies that are transforming the economy through innovation (#GameChanger). 

Unlike our publicly traded competitors or companies owned by U.S./U.K. investors, we focus on long-term partnerships, entrepreneurial freedom, and sustainable growth. Our healthy age mix and flat hierarchies offer you stable prospects and the chance to shape the future of risk and insurance management alongside us—without cutthroat competition or chronic staff shortages caused by profit targets that must be met at all costs.

Our team is made up of analytical thinkers, pragmatic problem-solvers, and passionate consultants. In a world shaped by complexity and regulation, we provide clarity and certainty—for our clients and for you. 

Ready for one hell of a ride?!?

Why is Risk Partners a unique employer for you?

A wild ride you regret?!?

A wild ride you regret?!?
"In 2023, I took the plunge and moved from a major brokerage firm to Risk Partners, which was just a few months old at the time. That move turned out to be one of the best decisions of my career, as it has allowed me to serve my life sciences clients at a whole new level of quality. What sets Risk Partners apart is the way we celebrate shared successes and innovations as part of a great team."
Jutta Zaglauer – Managing Director of Atrialis GmbH (a subsidiary of Risk Partners for Clinical Trials) since 2026
"I had been looking for a business opportunity to develop a specialized brokerage firm for tech and deep tech companies that would set a new standard for quality. Approaching Florian and Björn with this idea was a move that turned out to be absolutely the right one. Now I’m looking forward to welcoming colleagues who, like me, are willing to make the leap from a large brokerage firm to a specialized, innovative team to set new standards."
Dominik Knödel - Co-founder of Risk Partners Technology GmbH

Do you share our core values?

Collegial, supportive and appreciative - we foster good teamwork. We grow together in the face of daily challenges and continue to develop sustainably. Our individual strengths and entrepreneurial thinking make us specialized partners for our customers. In addition to a high level of satisfaction, leading insurance cover is part of our DNA.

Teamplayer @ Heart

We are a team of charismatic personalities without an elbow mentality. We see supporting each other and achieving our goals together as one of our strengths, not least because it's a lot more fun.

In the exchange with the Risk Partners, you will meet open-minded colleagues who also see working with you as "team play" in order to develop the best solutions for you.

Innovation driver

As experts, we develop innovative solutions for the diverse challenges of our clients by pursuing "out of the box" approaches and looking beyond European borders.

We will give you access to new solutions that will significantly improve your cover (e.g. D&O Flip Coverage). You will also always find an open ear for innovative ideas from us.

Specialized

According to "Your Risk. Our DNA", our in-depth understanding of our clients' complex risks sets us apart from our competitors. As a result, we are always up to date and recognize changing risks at an early stage.

We differentiate ourselves from our competitors through our in-depth understanding of our clients' complex risks. If issues lie outside our specialization, we share this with you and offer access to the right expert through our network.

Entrepreneurial

We consider it our duty to treat both our team members' and our customers' resources responsibly. We strive to act seriously in the long term.

track and field

Our special topics are subject to a high fluctuation of personnel and companies. Nevertheless, we strive for corporate sustainability in order to offer you reliability.

Dynamic

We are characterized by agility in internal innovation projects and a market-leading level of service to our clients. Although our industry is sometimes seen as not particularly agile, we prove the opposite through our work.

Our strengths lie in agility and the rapid resolution of challenges in order to do justice to you as a client in all matters, not just in the event of a claim.

Humorous

Stress and time pressure are often present in capital market transactions. The weekend work that may be necessary in such cases is easier to "bear" with humor and a positive spirit, and we approach challenges accordingly.

We are your risk partners and strive to interact positively with you to optimize the exchange of information and manage your risks effectively.

What does Risk Partner offer you?

We’re a flexible specialist brokerage—not just for our clients, but for you, too. That means we can talk about anything, and we’ve already made a lot of things happen.

One-time setup

Risk Partners was founded in 2023, and Risk Partners Technology GmbH in 2025 (focusing on tech and deep tech).

The opportunity to help shape a 100% owner-managed firm with great colleagues and exciting clients—who are typically served only by large brokers—might be a once-in-a-lifetime chance in your career and just the right fit for you!?!
