Key Takeaways

  • DEVK is a Köln-headquartered cooperative insurance group (VVaG) with around 6,200 employees, ~€4.5B in premium income, and an unbroken history back to its 1886 foundation as the Deutsche Eisenbahn-Versicherungs-Kasse for railway workers.
  • Apply through bewerbungsportal.devk.de — the form is the German mhm HR Solutions ATS, structured (not free-text), and requires complete Stammdaten plus a clean PDF Anlagen stack.
  • Three main entry routes: Ausbildung (Kaufmann/-frau für Versicherungen und Finanzanlagen, Kaufmann für Büromanagement, Fachinformatiker), Duales Studium (with partner universities including HSBA Hamburg and DHBW), and direct entry as Berufseinsteiger or Berufserfahrene. Werkstudenten and Praktikanten round out the pipeline.
  • Lebenslauf and Anschreiben must be in German, in conventional German format, addressed to the named Recruiter on the Stellenanzeige, and reference DEVK's specific cooperative identity — generic motivation is the most common silent rejection.
  • Interviews are multi-round, polite, competency-based, and Mitbestimmung-shaped: phone screen → on-site with hiring manager + Personalreferent + (often) Betriebsrat → final Fallstudie for senior or actuarial roles. Two to five week gaps between rounds are normal.
  • DEVK rewards Versicherungsfachlichkeit, German-language fluency, identification with the cooperative model, and long-term Bindungsbereitschaft. Candidates optimising for a two-year stepping-stone job will struggle to pass cultural screening.
  • Recent strategic signals worth referencing: the April 2026 overhaul of the Wohngebäudetarif, the March 2026 Civey-survey on a verpflichtende Elementarschadenversicherung, the March 2026 withdrawal of the Köln-Riehl tower-build plan, and the broader e-Mobilität and Bestandssystem-Modernisierung programmes.

About DEVK Versicherungen

DEVK Versicherungen (formally Deutsche Eisenbahn-Versicherungs-Kasse) is one of Germany's largest cooperative insurance groups, headquartered at Riehler Straße 190 in Köln-Riehl, on the Rhine just north of the city centre. The group employs roughly 6,200 people in head office, regional directorates and the Außendienst (field sales force), and posts annual gross premium income on the order of €4.5 billion, making it a permanent fixture in the German top-ten by Beitragseinnahmen. Founded on 13 January 1886 as a self-help fund for railway workers — its very name preserves the Eisenbahn (railway) origin — DEVK still operates as a Versicherungsverein auf Gegenseitigkeit (VVaG, mutual insurance association). That legal form matters: there are no external shareholders to satisfy. Surpluses flow back to members in the form of better terms or stronger reserves, which is the doctrinal opposite of the publicly listed competitors DEVK measures itself against. The product mix is the standard German full-line composite: Kfz (motor) is the flagship line, where DEVK has spent two decades fighting for a podium position behind HUK-Coburg and Allianz; Wohngebäude und Hausrat (home buildings and contents); Haftpflicht und Rechtsschutz (liability and legal expenses); Lebensversicherung (life); Kranken- und Pflegeversicherung (health and long-term care); and a substantial Komposit-Geschäft for SMEs and corporates. The group is structured as a holding (DEVK Versicherungen) over a stack of operating carriers — DEVK Allgemeine Versicherungs-AG, DEVK Deutsche Eisenbahn Versicherung Sach- und HUK-Versicherungsverein a.G., DEVK Allgemeine Lebensversicherungs-AG, DEVK Pensionsfonds-AG and so on. For a candidate this matters because each carrier has its own Vorstand and own actuarial function, even though most back-office functions (IT, HR, Personalentwicklung, Controlling, Finanzen) are run centrally out of Köln-Riehl. Leadership has a long-tenure, internally promoted character. Gottfried Rüßmann chairs the Vorstand of the group and the operating Versicherungsverein. The supervisory board is dominated by representatives of the Eisenbahner-Welt — Deutsche Bahn AG, the railway trade union EVG and the Bundeseisenbahnvermögen — alongside DEVK employee representatives elected under the Mitbestimmungsgesetz. That governance model, intact since the 19th century, is the single most important cultural fact about DEVK: this is not a turnaround shop, not a private-equity portfolio, and not a candidate for a stock-exchange listing. Strategy moves at the cadence of a Versicherungsverein, which means it moves carefully. Competitively, DEVK sits in a curious middle ground. Allianz, AXA Germany, Generali Deutschland and Zurich Gruppe Deutschland are the listed multinationals; HUK-Coburg, R+V, Debeka and DEVK form the cooperative/mutual quartet that owns the price-sensitive German motor and home market. The 2018 Allianz–Generali consolidation wave around AachenMünchener / Generali Deutschland and the more recent reshuffles in the broker channel have, if anything, strengthened DEVK's position: customers and broker partners who explicitly want a non-listed German carrier with a long balance sheet have fewer options than they used to. DEVK has also made a visible push into e-Mobilität (EV-specific motor cover, wallbox liability), Naturgefahren (the March 2026 Civey survey commissioned by DEVK on a verpflichtende Elementarschadenversicherung is a deliberate position-taking exercise), and a renewed Wohngebäudetarif rolled out in April 2026. For a job seeker, the practical translation is: DEVK is a stable Köln-anchored employer with a deep Ausbildung tradition, a real Tarifvertrag culture, very low forced attrition, and a genuine bias toward hiring people who plan to stay for a decade or more. It is an excellent first employer for school leavers, an excellent move for actuaries and IT people who want a long runway in a non-listed environment, and a reasonable but slower-moving choice for senior lateral hires from listed competitors who must adjust to consensus-driven decision-making and a Mitbestimmung-shaped HR process.

Application Process

  1. 1
    Step 1

    Step 1 — Search the Stellenbörse at jobs.devk.de/jobs/. The portal shows roughly 570–655+ open positions across the group at any given time, filterable by Bereich (area), Einstiegslevel (entry level: Ausbildung, Duales Studium, Berufseinsteiger, Berufserfahrene, Führungskraft), Arbeitszeitmodell (Vollzeit, Teilzeit, flexibel) and Vertragsart (befristet/unbefristet). Werkstudenten and Praktikanten are listed under their own Einstiegslevel. The default sort surfaces Außendienst Vertrieb roles heavily; use the Bereich filter to find IT, Aktuariat, Schaden, Personal, Controlling, Recht and Marketing positions. Save searches by bookmarking the URL — the portal does not require an account to browse.

  2. 2
    Step 2

    Step 2 — Read the full Stellenanzeige before opening the application portal. Each posting names a personal Recruiter (e.g. 'Alf Petau, Recruiter Berlin') with direct phone and email. Field-sales roles list the Aufgaben (responsibilities), Profil (requirements) and Benefits (30 Urlaubstage, Agentur-Service, flexible Arbeitsgestaltung, Qualifizierungs-Angebot, starkes Portfolio). Note the Standort carefully: many DEVK roles are tied to a specific Geschäftsstelle (Berlin, Nürnberg, Dresden, Leipzig, Köln, Hamburg, München) and are not remote. Hybrid models exist for headquarters functions in Köln-Riehl but require physical presence in NRW.

  3. 3
    Step 3

    Step 3 — Click 'Jetzt bewerben'. This routes you to bewerbungsportal.devk.de, which is built on the mhm HR Solutions recruiting platform. The application form is in German. Before starting, prepare: your Lebenslauf (CV) as a single PDF, your Anschreiben (cover letter) addressed to the named recruiter, all relevant Zeugnisse (school leaving certificate, university degree, professional qualifications, work references) scanned as PDFs, and optionally a Bewerbungsfoto (still expected by most German employers, though legally optional under the AGG). The portal accepts PDF, DOC and DOCX up to a few megabytes per file.

  4. 4
    Step 4

    Step 4 — Complete the structured Stammdaten section. The form requires Anrede (salutation: Frau, Herr, Divers), optional Titel (Dr., Prof.), Vorname, Nachname, Email, Straße, Postleitzahl, Stadt, Bundesland, Land, Geburtsdatum, Telefon and Mobiltelefon. The Geburtsdatum field is mandatory — this is normal in German recruiting, do not skip it. The address must be a real German postal address for in-person roles; Außendienst applicants outside the target Standort area are typically declined.

  5. 5
    Step 5

    Step 5 — Upload documents in the correct slots: Lebenslauf into the curriculum_vitae slot, Anschreiben into the cover_letter slot, Bewerbungsfoto (if you choose to include one) into the portrait slot, and additional Zeugnisse and Nachweise into the Anlagen slot. Order your Anlagen the way a German HR reviewer expects them: school leaving certificate (Abitur/Realschulabschluss), then university Zeugnisse, then training certificates (IHK-Abschluss, Versicherungsfachmann/-frau IHK), then Arbeitszeugnisse in reverse chronological order. A messy Anlagen stack is one of the most common silent rejections in German recruiting.

  6. 6
    Step 6

    Step 6 — Review the Datenschutzerklärung (privacy notice) and submit. You will receive an automated Eingangsbestätigung within minutes. The named Recruiter or a Personalreferent from the relevant Fachbereich will then triage. Headquarters roles in Köln move at headquarters speed — expect 2–4 weeks to first response. Außendienst roles, where DEVK is permanently hiring, often respond within days. Status updates are pushed via the same mhm portal; log back in via the link in your confirmation email rather than expecting status emails.

Resume Tips for DEVK Versicherungen

recommended

Write your Lebenslauf in German

Write your Lebenslauf in German. Even the small share of group functions where English is tolerated (parts of IT, Reinsurance, some actuarial work) will favour a candidate who applies in German. Use the standard German tabular CV format: full Stammdaten block at the top, Berufserfahrung in reverse chronological order with 3–5 bullet points per role, Ausbildung block, Weiterbildungen, Sprachkenntnisse on the Common European Framework scale (A1–C2), IT-Kenntnisse, and Ehrenamt or Engagement at the bottom if relevant. One to two pages. Plain typography, no Canva templates, no infographics — DEVK's mhm-based ATS extracts text cleanly from a conventional layout and stumbles on graphical CVs.

recommended

Address the Anschreiben to the named Recruiter on the Stellenanzeige, not to 'Se

Address the Anschreiben to the named Recruiter on the Stellenanzeige, not to 'Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren'. Use 'Sehr geehrte Frau X' or 'Sehr geehrter Herr Y' and reference the Stellen-ID from the URL (the digit string in jobs.devk.de/job/30069-... is the requisition number). One page. Three short paragraphs: motivation for DEVK specifically (cite the Versicherungsverein auf Gegenseitigkeit, the Eisenbahner-Erbe, the Köln headquarters, or the recent Wohngebäudetarif overhaul to show you read the press), fit against the Profil bullets, and a closing sentence with your earliest possible Eintrittstermin and your Gehaltsvorstellung as a yearly Brutto figure if requested.

recommended

Mirror DEVK's own job-ad vocabulary in your CV

Mirror DEVK's own job-ad vocabulary in your CV. The Stellenanzeigen consistently use 'Kundinnen und Kunden', 'Mitarbeitende', 'Verantwortung tragen', 'Sorgenfreiheit', and gender-inclusive '(m/w/d)' forms. The mhm ATS does light keyword matching, but more importantly the human reviewer will subconsciously pattern-match against the language of the Stellenanzeige. If the role mentions 'Schadenregulierung', do not write 'Claims handling' — write 'Schadenregulierung'.

recommended

Quantify in German conventions

Quantify in German conventions. Use German number formatting (1.234.567 €, not 1,234,567 USD), the comma as decimal separator, and refer to time periods as 'Q1 2025', 'GJ 2024' or 'KJ 2024' rather than American shorthand. For sales roles, quantify Bestand (book of business) in € or in number of Verträge; for IT roles, quantify Verfügbarkeit in percent or downtime in minutes; for actuarial roles, name the Versicherungssparte and the line of business clearly (Kraftfahrt-Haftpflicht, Vollkasko, Wohngebäude, Lebensversicherung Klassik vs. fondsgebunden).

recommended

Be explicit about Versicherungs-Qualifikationen

Be explicit about Versicherungs-Qualifikationen. The mhm-based ATS and human reviewers recognise specific badges: Ausbildung als Kaufmann/-frau für Versicherungen und Finanzanlagen IHK, Versicherungsfachmann/-frau IHK / BWV, Versicherungsfachwirt/-in IHK, Geprüfte/r Fachwirt/in für Versicherungen und Finanzen IHK, DAV-Aktuar (Deutsche Aktuarvereinigung), and on the IT side Scrum, ITIL, AWS or Azure certifications. Spell the full IHK or DAV designation, not the abbreviation alone — the reviewer is checking that you really hold it.

recommended

Include the photo unless you have a clear reason not to

Include the photo unless you have a clear reason not to. The German Allgemeines Gleichbehandlungsgesetz (AGG) makes the Bewerbungsfoto legally optional, and DEVK as a serious Konzern formally accepts photo-less applications. In practice, the regional sales offices and the Außendienst recruiters still expect a professional, neutral, business-attire photo, and CVs without one feel oddly empty to the German reviewer. Headquarters functions in Köln are more relaxed — IT and actuarial candidates can safely omit the photo.

recommended

List your Sprachkenntnisse honestly

List your Sprachkenntnisse honestly. German must be C1 or C2 (or 'Muttersprache') for almost every role outside of a small set of group IT and reinsurance functions. English at B2/C1 is a bonus for headquarters roles. For roles in regional offices in Sachsen, Bayern or Baden-Württemberg, fluency in the local Standardsprache is sufficient — DEVK does not test Mundart.

recommended

Save the file as PDF/A with a clean filename: 'Lebenslauf_Nachname_Vorname

Save the file as PDF/A with a clean filename: 'Lebenslauf_Nachname_Vorname.pdf' and 'Anschreiben_Nachname_Vorname.pdf'. The mhm portal preserves filenames and the recruiter sees them. A file called 'CV_final_v3_NEU.pdf' is a small but real signal of disorganisation.

ATS System: mhm HR Solutions (bewerbungsportal.devk.de) — German recruiting platform built on Ruby on Rails / Hotwire Turbo

DEVK does not use Workday, SuccessFactors or SAP SuccessFactors for recruiting. The careers front-end at jobs.devk.de is a custom Nuxt.js single-page application that lists openings; clicking Jetzt bewerben routes the candidate to bewerbungsportal.devk.de, which is operated on the mhm HR Solutions stack — a German-built recruiting platform widely used by mid-to-large German employers (Versicherungen, Sparkassen, Stadtwerke). The form fields are namespaced job_application[applicant_core][user][...], confirming the mhm schema, and the JavaScript bundle is served as job_portal2-*.js with Hotwire Turbo for partial page updates. Practical implication: this is a structured-form ATS, not a free-text resume parser. The form collects Stammdaten directly, then attaches your uploaded PDFs as Anlagen. Keyword matching against the CV text exists but is secondary; what really moves your application forward is (a) clean Stammdaten, (b) a complete Anlagen stack in the expected order, and (c) the human Recruiter named on the Stellenanzeige picking up the file.

  • Fill every Stammdaten field, including Geburtsdatum and Telefon. Empty fields look like a half-finished application and trigger early rejection.
  • Do not paste a full CV into a free-text field — there isn't one. Upload your Lebenslauf as PDF in the curriculum_vitae slot.
  • Keep PDFs under a few megabytes each. Rasterised scans of paper Zeugnisse can balloon past the limit; OCR them or rescan at 200dpi grayscale.
  • If you are reapplying to DEVK, log back into the same mhm account — your Stammdaten are preserved across applications and you only need to re-upload role-specific documents.
  • The portal supports both contrast-switch and screen reader navigation. If you use assistive technology, you do not need to disclose this in the application — Schwerbehinderung is handled separately under the SGB IX and DEVK's Inklusionsvereinbarung.
  • Do not abandon the form mid-way and come back hours later — sessions in the mhm portal time out and partially filled fields can be lost. Block 30–45 minutes to complete in one sitting.

Interview Culture

DEVK runs a formally polite, multi-round Vorstellungsgespräch process that mirrors the Mitbestimmung-shaped HR culture of a large German cooperative.

Almost every interview begins with the named Recruiter on the phone or via Microsoft Teams — a 20–30 minute Telefoninterview to verify motivation, German language level, salary range (Gehaltsvorstellung), notice period (Kündigungsfrist) and earliest start date. For Ausbildung and Duales Studium candidates this first stage may instead be a structured online-Eignungstest covering arithmetic, reading comprehension, basic logic and a personality module — DEVK has used such tests for years and they are standard in the German Versicherungsbranche. If the phone screen is positive, the second round is an in-person interview at the relevant Standort: Köln-Riehl for headquarters functions, the regional Direktion for field roles, the Geschäftsstelle for Außendienst. The German convention applies: arrive five to ten minutes early, dress in business attire (Anzug or Kostüm for headquarters, smart business for sales), greet with a firm Handschlag and address everyone with Sie and the family name unless explicitly invited to the Du-form. The interview panel almost always includes the hiring manager (Fachvorgesetzte/r), a Personalreferent/in from HR, and — under the Betriebsverfassungsgesetz and the in-house Mitbestimmung — frequently a representative of the Betriebsrat (works council) or the Schwerbehindertenvertretung if applicable. Their presence is procedural, not adversarial. Question content is competency-based with a strong fachliche Tiefe. Außendienst candidates are tested on Vertriebslogik (lead generation, Bedarfsanalyse, Cross-Selling Kfz/Haftpflicht/Wohngebäude, Bestandspflege) and on the regulatory framework (IDD, §34d GewO, Vermittlerregister). Headquarters candidates face fachliche questions matched to the role: Schadenregulierer on §§ AVB and BGB, Aktuare on Solvency II, IFRS 17 and reservierungstechnische Verfahren, IT candidates on the actual stack DEVK runs (mainframe Bestandsführung systems undergoing modernisation, Java/Spring on the application layer, Microsoft 365 on the workplace, ServiceNow for ITSM, and a growing cloud footprint). Expect at least one question on why DEVK over Allianz, HUK-Coburg or AXA — the hiring manager wants to hear the cooperative angle, the Köln angle or the Eisenbahn-Erbe angle, not generic 'great brand' answers. A third round is typical for senior or actuarial roles, often a Fallstudie or technical Probesitzung in front of the Fachbereichsleitung and sometimes a Vorstandsmitglied. Salary is normally only discussed in this final round and is anchored in the Tarifvertrag für die private Versicherungswirtschaft for tarifgebundene roles, with AT (außertariflich) packages negotiated individually for senior positions. Communication between rounds is polite but unhurried. The Mitbestimmung process — the Betriebsrat must be informed of every Einstellung — adds calendar time. A two-to-five week gap between final interview and offer is normal and is not a signal of disinterest. Once an offer is made, it arrives as a written Arbeitsvertrag, almost always for an unbefristete Vollzeitstelle, with the standard six-month Probezeit. Außendienst contracts are structured differently — many DEVK Vertriebspartner are selbstständige Handelsvertreter under §§ 84 ff. HGB rather than employees, and the candidate should clarify Anstellungsverhältnis vs. Handelsvertreter-Status before signing.

What DEVK Versicherungen Looks For

  • Versicherungsfachliche Substanz — a real understanding of how German insurance products work, even at junior level. Reading the AVB of a Kfz-Versicherung once before the interview is more valuable than any generic Vertriebs-Lehrbuch.
  • Identifikation mit dem Genossenschafts- und Eisenbahner-Erbe. DEVK people use phrases like 'Verantwortung tragen' and 'Sorgenfreiheit' unironically. Candidates who treat insurance as a transactional product or who openly compare DEVK unfavourably to a publicly listed competitor rarely advance.
  • Sprachliche Klarheit auf Deutsch. The DEVK customer base is overwhelmingly German-speaking, the regulator is BaFin, the Tarifvertrag is in German, and the works council operates in German. Even IT and Aktuariat candidates need at least C1 working German.
  • Langfristige Bindungsbereitschaft. The mutual structure rewards tenure and the company plans careers in five-to-ten-year arcs. Job-hopping CVs are tolerated but raise questions; candidates who frame their motivation around a long-term home rather than a stepping stone do better.
  • Strukturierte, regelkonforme Arbeitsweise. DEVK is a regulated Versicherungsverein subject to BaFin, Solvency II, IDD, GwG, DSGVO, VAIT and BAIT. Examples of process discipline — Vier-Augen-Prinzip, Dokumentationsrigorosität, sauberer Umgang mit personenbezogenen Daten — count.
  • Teamfähigkeit im Sinne der Mitbestimmung. Decisions are taken in committees, the Betriebsrat is involved early, and lone-wolf 'I delivered this single-handedly' framing reads as off-key. Frame achievements as 'Wir im Team haben...' even when you led the work.
  • Mobilität und Bindung an den Standort. For Außendienst, willingness to live and operate in the assigned region matters more than a willingness to relocate later; for Köln-Riehl headquarters, being either local or genuinely willing to move to the Rhineland is a real screening factor.
  • Digitale Aufgeschlossenheit ohne Übertreibung. DEVK is in the middle of a multi-year Bestandssystem-Modernisierung and has invested in e-Mobilität and Naturgefahren-Tarife. Candidates who can speak credibly about modernisation challenges in a regulated insurance environment — without pretending the company is a startup — are valued.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to speak German to work at DEVK?
Yes, for almost every role. German at C1 or C2 is the practical minimum because the customer base, regulator (BaFin), Tarifvertrag, internal communications and works-council process all run in German. A small set of group IT, reinsurance and quantitative actuarial roles tolerate strong B2 German if English is excellent, but the application itself — Lebenslauf, Anschreiben, mhm form — must be in German to be taken seriously.
What ATS does DEVK use?
DEVK runs its application portal at bewerbungsportal.devk.de on the mhm HR Solutions platform, a German Ruby on Rails / Hotwire Turbo recruiting system widely used by Versicherungen and Sparkassen. The Stellenbörse front-end at jobs.devk.de is a separate Nuxt.js SPA. Practically, this is a structured-form ATS — Stammdaten plus PDF Anlagen — and not a free-text Workday or SuccessFactors clone.
Where is DEVK headquartered and where will I work?
The group head office is at Riehler Straße 190 in Köln-Riehl, on the Rhine just north of the Altstadt and next to the Kölner Zoo. Headquarters functions (IT, Aktuariat, Konzernfunktionen, zentrale Schadenregulierung, Personal) sit there. Regional Direktionen and Geschäftsstellen are spread across the country — Berlin, Hamburg, Dresden, Leipzig, Nürnberg, Stuttgart, München and many more. Außendienst candidates are tied to the assigned Geschäftsstelle and surrounding territory.
How long does the DEVK hiring process take?
Außendienst sales roles can move in a week or two — DEVK is permanently hiring Kundenberater. Headquarters roles in Köln typically take four to eight weeks from application to written offer because the Fachbereich, Personal and the Betriebsrat all touch the file. Senior Aktuariat and IT roles can stretch to two or three months, especially when a Fallstudie round or a Vorstands-Slot is needed.
Does DEVK still hire from a railway-worker background?
DEVK no longer restricts hiring to Eisenbahner — it has been a full general insurer for decades — but the Eisenbahner-Erbe is alive in the supervisory board, in some pension and group products, and in the corporate identity. Candidates from a Deutsche Bahn or transport-sector background do enjoy a small soft signal of cultural fit, but the hiring criteria are open and the overwhelming majority of new hires have no railway connection.
What are the career entry routes for school leavers and students?
Three main routes. (1) Ausbildung: the classic Kaufmann/-frau für Versicherungen und Finanzanlagen IHK over three years, plus Kaufmann für Büromanagement and Fachinformatiker (Anwendungsentwicklung or Systemintegration). (2) Duales Studium in cooperation with selected German universities — Bachelor of Arts in Versicherung or Insurance with partners such as HSBA Hamburg School of Business Administration and DHBW Baden-Württemberg, plus Bachelor of Science Wirtschaftsinformatik tracks. (3) Werkstudent and Praktikant positions in headquarters and in regional Direktionen for current Bachelor and Master students.
Should I include a photo on my CV?
Legally optional under the AGG, practically expected at most German employers including DEVK. For Außendienst and regional roles in particular, a professional, neutral, business-attire photo is the safe choice. Headquarters IT and Aktuariat candidates can omit it without penalty. Whatever you do, do not include a casual or holiday photo — the photo is judged on professionalism, not personality.
Are DEVK Außendienst roles employee positions or self-employed?
Both models exist. Many Vertriebspartner work as selbstständige Handelsvertreter under §§ 84 ff. HGB with a contract for territory and product range; others, especially in larger Geschäftsstellen, are angestellt as Kundenberater under the Tarifvertrag für die private Versicherungswirtschaft. The Stellenanzeige and the Recruiter will tell you which model applies — clarify this early because the income structure, social security treatment and pension implications differ substantially.
What is the salary range at DEVK?
Tarifgebundene Angestellte are paid under the Tarifvertrag für die private Versicherungswirtschaft, which sets transparent Gehaltsgruppen with annual steps; entry positions land in the mid-€40k range gross, mid-career fachliche Spezialisten in the €60k–€85k range, and senior AT-positions and DAV-Aktuare run substantially above. Außendienst income is provisionsorientiert with a fixed base, where strong Vertriebspartner can earn well into six-figure brutto territory but variable income carries the usual risk.
What is DEVK doing in digital transformation and e-mobility?
DEVK is in the middle of a multi-year Bestandssystem-Modernisierung — moving core insurance processing off long-running mainframe environments toward a modern Java/Spring application stack, a Microsoft 365 workplace and a growing cloud footprint under VAIT/BAIT regulatory constraints. On the product side, DEVK has invested in e-Mobilität (EV-specific Kfz-Tarife, wallbox liability cover) and in Naturgefahren-Themen, including commissioning the March 2026 Civey survey on a verpflichtende Elementarschadenversicherung. The April 2026 Wohngebäudetarif overhaul is the most recent visible product release.
