Lead Product Manager: AI Platform

About Zego

At Zego, we understand that traditional motor insurance holds good drivers back. It's too complicated, too expensive, and it doesn't reflect how well you actually drive. Since 2016, we have been on a mission to change that by offering the lowest-priced insurance for good drivers.

From van drivers and gig workers to everyday car drivers, our customers are the driving force behind everything we do. We've sold tens of millions of policies and raised over $200 million in funding. And we're only just getting started.

Overview of the Product team:

We believe that product management is critical to Zego's future success, so we're building a team where Product Managers and Leaders have the opportunity to innovate, lead, and contribute to our mission. Our team ensures that product strategy underpins everything we do and that leaders are empowered to guide decisions in collaboration with cross-functional teams. As we scale, we aim to foster strong, data-driven product thinking to tackle both customer-facing and internal challenges.
