Partnerships and Marketing Manager

About Homeprotect
We founded Homeprotect on a simple principle - to provide protection to people underserved by the home insurance industry. We are experts at insuring people who want to build or buy a unique property, renovate, rent a home or leave it unoccupied. We cover people who travel a lot, run a business from home or even collect rare treasures. Our smart tech enables customers to get an instant, online quote to cover a huge range of complex needs and our UK customer support teams are on hand to provide information and support when only a real person will do. Our insurance has empowered hundreds of thousands of people to protect their homes and the things they love. We believe there’s no such thing as ‘standard’ — we’re all unique and deserve home insurance designed with our individual needs in mind, a goal made possible by our blend of real people and smart technology. Our simple promise? Whoever you are and wherever you live, with Homeprotect we’ve got you covered.

What It’s Like To Work Here
Our customers come from all walks of life and so do our people. We are a small but perfectly formed team, combining insurance industry specialists with a diverse mix of technologists, data scientists and customer and marketing champions from various backgrounds. We bring our individual expertise, a spirit of innovation and a shared ambition to empower people to protect their homes and the things they love. We operate in a fast-paced environment where change happens regularly, and we’ve embraced hybrid working. This means teams can choose where and when they work for the best balance, with an expectation that colleagues spend around one day a week in the office (or a minimum of four days per month) to connect and collaborate. There will be times when it makes sense to gather in one location, but day to day, teams have the freedom to decide where to work and we trust them to balance business needs with their own preferences. We have been recognised externally as a Great Place to Work for the last six consecutive years.
