Special Projects Manager

About us

At Zego, we know that traditional motor insurance holds good drivers back. It’s too complicated, too expensive, and it doesn't take into account how well you actually drive.

That’s why, since 2016, we’ve been on a mission to change all of that. Our mission at Zego is to offer the lowest price of insurance for good drivers.

From van drivers and gig workers to everyday car drivers, our customers are our driving force — they’re at the heart of everything we do.

We’ve sold tens of millions of policies so far, and raised over $200 million in funding, becoming the first UK Insure-tech. And we’re only just getting started.

Role Overview

The Special Projects Manager will report to Zego’s Chief of Staff and Strategy. The role is being created to oversee special projects at Zego, especially within our insurance carrier. Some examples of work might include launching a new product line, setting out a framework and running analysis to support strategic decision-making or managing regulatory approval processes. 

The role will be varied and cross-functional, providing exposure to different sides of the insuretech business.

It will be especially well suited to candidates with previous experience in strategy consulting, investment banking, or other high-paced environments.

About the role

• Data-Driven Insights: You will use both qualitative and quantitative data to diagnose issues, spot trends, and provide actionable insights that support decision-making at the leadership level. Your ability to communicate these insights will help influence and shape business outcomes.

What you’ll need to be successful

• You will have strong communication and presentation skills to facilitate plans, projects and initiatives.
• You’ll have a strong background in Strategy, Project Management, and analysis.
• You will excel in stakeholder management and enjoy relationship building both internally with cross-functional leaders and externally (for instance with the regulatory teams)
• You will have excellent relationship-building skills, with the ability to move between listening, and guiding at all levels. 
• You will be focused on business outcomes with a track record of delivery in growth and fast-paced environments. 
• You will be data-driven and can turn data into actionable insights.
• You will have a proven ability to effectively organise, prioritise, and handle multiple assignments simultaneously, in a fast-paced environment;
  

How we work

We believe that teams work better when they have time to collaborate and space to get things done. We call it the Zego Hybrid.We foster a flexible approach that empowers every Zegon to perform at their best so we ask you to spend at least three days a week in our central London office. We cover the costs for all company-wide events (4 per year), and also provide a separate hybrid contribution to help pay towards other travel costs. We think it’s a good mix of collaborative face time and flexible home-working, setting us up to achieve the right balance between work and life.

Benefits

We reward our people well. Join us and you’ll get a market-competitive salary, private medical insurance, company share options, generous holiday allowance, and a whole lot of wellbeing benefits. And that’s just for starters.

We’re an equal opportunity employer and we value diversity at our company. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, or disability status.
