The role

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.

A motor claim usually lands on a customer's worst day. In 18 months, Zego customers in that position will get a clear, fair outcome quickly, because you own their claim from first assessment through to settlement. Liability decisions will be accurate, costs controlled, and fraud caught early.

What you'll do

  • Settle a portfolio of motor claims through to final resolution, with accurate liability assessment and proactive cost control.
  • Assess recovery and total loss claims using the evidence available, including dash cam footage, witness statements and police reports.
  • Negotiate with other insurers, solicitors and credit hire companies to manage costs and settle losses.
  • Resolve disagreements over settlement figures and liability decisions with patience and data backed explanations.
  • Issue settlements for repairs, medical bills and vehicles once a claim is finalised.
  • Catch fraud early by investigating indicators and cross-referencing claim details against industry databases.
  • Keep internal systems and customer files up to date, respond promptly to customer queries, and route customers to the right supplier.

How you'll work

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 looked like.

In their own words

About the company & team

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.

At Zego, we operate like a high-performing sports team. We come together as one, driven by ambition, backed by real support, and united by a shared mission to win.

Working here means having the backing, the coaching, and an inclusive community of Zegons across the UK and Europe who celebrate your wins and raise your game. It also means holding ourselves to high standards: moving with urgency, taking complete ownership, and embracing honest feedback that helps us continuously learn and evolve.

This is your opportunity for a career-defining experience, and one you will own.
