Account Executive (BE)

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. Belgium is where it all started: many of the country's leading brokers and insurers already rely on Paperbox every day.

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.

We are looking for a hunter who wants to grow our leadership position in our home market, in Flanders, Brussels and Wallonia.
