At Youi, we believe in challenging the status quo. We're not your typical insurance company - and that extends to how we sell insurance and hire our team. With over 2,300 employees, we have ambitious goals to keep growing and continue delivering awesome insurance solutions across new products and distribution channels.

We pride ourselves on our diversity and individuality, both among our employees and the customers we serve. We believe that it is the unique combination of skills, perspectives, and experiences of our people that truly sets us apart.

Our company values - being _dynamic_, _human_-focused, _awesome_ _service_, _honest_, and _passionate_ - guide everything we do. We recognise and value the contributions of each team member to our culture and success.

At Youi, we're unafraid to be different, and we're looking for people who share our values and want to be part of a team that is making a difference in the insurance industry.
