Who Are We? We insure small businesses and enable big dreams – not just for our customers, but for our people and communities too. With over 1,000,000 active insurance policies, we protect builders, bakers, landlords and more than 1,200 other trades. We’re a technology company as well as one that sells insurance.

• Deliver high-quality analysis and recommendations to support Product Teams in achieving their core objectives.
• Carry out in-depth customer journey analysis and measure the impact of multi-channel strategies.

• Ready to challenge the status quo: You are upfront, honest, and excited to shape the future of our business by asking the tough questions.
• An insurance insider (a plus!): Prior knowledge of the insurance industry is a great bonus, though not essential.

We know it’s tough, but please try to avoid the confidence gap. You don't have to match all the bullet points above to be considered for this role. We encourage people of all different backgrounds and identities to apply. We are committed to maintaining an inclusive, supportive place for you to be you and do your very best work.
