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.

About the role

Our mission is simple: help Zego go further, faster, by getting exceptional talent through the door quickly enough to power scalable growth. That is not hiring at all costs. It is hiring quality at pace. We lean hard on AI to move fast: Claude, Granola, Juicebox, LinkedIn, and anything else you can find, build or imagine that gets a great hire in front of the right person sooner. This is the role that helps take Zego to the next level.

The Zego ways of working Teams work better with time to collaborate and space to get things done. We call it Zego Hybrid. Some of us are in our central London office weekly, others monthly or quarterly. It is about finding the balance between face time and focus that produces great work and a healthy life around it.

We also make a point of getting everyone in the same room. Teams come together every quarter, and once a year the whole company does, properly. It is a serious investment and consistently one of the best parts of the year. Here is what the last one
