BlaBlaCar is the world’s leading long-distance carpooling platform – a global, trusted community of 70 million drivers and passengers in 22 countries. The platform connects people looking to travel long distances with drivers heading the same way, so they can travel together and share the cost. With the recent integration of a coach network and a commuter carpooling service, BlaBlaCar aims to become the go-to for shared road mobility. Affordable, convenient and user-friendly, wherever there’s a road, there’s a BlaBlaCar.

Why join us?

BlaBlaCar is dedicated to constantly improving the service for its 65 million members community. We listen carefully to our members’ feedback to ensure we give them the best carpooling experience possible.

In that context, we partnered with AXA in 2015, one of the world's leading insurance companies, offering our members free additional insurance to provide the most reliable service and a better protection when they carpool.

Beyond this, we believe that BlaBlaCar can go a lot further in offering more services and value to our members with insurance. That’s why we also launched optional trip insurance covers for our drivers as well as an annual car insurance offer with the ambition to promote a responsible behaviour to make our road a safer place.

To fulfill this ambition, we are reinforcing a dedicated and highly-motivated team in Paris.  As an International Business Development Manager, you will work with our insurance partners (mainly AXA) to roll out our strategy throughout Europe (including Spain, Poland, Germany, Italy...). The ultimate objective is to launch Car Insurance in those countries by end of 2019 or 2020 at the latest to make BlaBlaCar become the leading European broker.
