About Zego
Insurance hasn’t changed much in over a century. The way we live, work and travel has.
Good drivers are the entire point of Zego. Seven in 10 drivers on the road are consistently good, but until telematics came along there was no way to prove it, so nearly everyone paid a price based on averages. Zego is the company built to change that.
At Zego, we’re leading the AI evolution in insurance
We move fast, without the layers that usually slow things down. AI takes the routine work off every team, from Finance to Product to Marketing, so people ship real code and launch custom dashboards in minutes. Engineering commits are entirely AI-assisted, which shifts the focus from team size to the quality of your thinking, and our data warehouse connects directly to an AI assistant for instant answers. Backed by a modern tech stack (Claude Code, Snowflake, Figma and Zapier) and a commitment to adopting new tools in days rather than quarters, you get complete ownership to do the most impactful work of your career.
Purpose of the role
Claims complaints at an insurer are where things get real — the customer is already in distress, the stakes are higher, and poor handling has direct regulatory consequences.
As Team Leader for Claims Complaints, you'll own the day-to-day running of a team of case handlers, balancing hands-on case work with genuine people leadership. You'll ensure complaints are investigated thoroughly, resolved fairly, and handled in line with DISP and Consumer Duty — and you'll be accountable for the standard your team sets.
You'll report to the Complaints Manager and work closely with the Customer Support & FOS Team Leader to keep standards consistent across the wider function.

Experience of ShareDo, Snowflake, or Looker, or equivalent case management and MI tools.
