Director of Product, Growth

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.

About the role

We are looking for a Director of Product Growth who is a builder with a founder mindset. You are a leader who builds experiment‑first teams and ships 0‑1 features and products that actually move the business. Your mandate is to replace "gut feel" with a rigorous science of growth. You will architect an engine where the "rate of learning" is the leading metric, using rapid prototyping and experiments to validate hypotheses with relentless velocity. This role goes beyond simple optimisation. You will own the commercial customer journeys - from designing acquisition loops to solving for long‑term retention and upsell. You will use your deep fluency in unit economics to uncover hidden potential and prioritise the work that drives tangible ROI. You will work closely with Zego’s leadership team, not only deeply influencing the now, but helping steer the future direction of our products and customer experience.

Our Product teams

At Zego, we operate with distinct, highly collaborative, and cross‑functional product teams. As Director of Product Growth, you will lead our dedicated Growth Squads.

• Autonomy & Ownership: Each squad autonomously owns their area of the Zego product. They are empowered to solve problems, not just build features. We give teams outcomes to own, not just outputs to deliver.
• Cross‑Functional Setup: Your teams are made up of Product Managers, Product Designers, and Engineers working side‑by‑side. We believe the best ideas come from anywhere, so we collaborate deeply rather than handing off work over a wall.
• Diverse Backgrounds: We know that great Product people come from a variety of backgrounds. You don’t need a specific degree to work here; you just need to be customer‑obsessed, data‑literate, and ready to move fast.

Our toolkit

We believe the tools don't make the Product Manager, but the right stack helps us move with velocity. Here is what we use to build, measure, and learn:

• Collaboration: Notion, Whimsical, Slack, Google Meet.
• Design, Prototyping & User Testing: Figma, Figma Make, Maze.
• Data & Analytics: Snowflake, Amplitude, Hotjar, Looker.
• Thinking & Strategy: Gemini.
• Automations: Claude Code, Zapier.

What you will be doing

• Help Architect the Growth Engine: You will build and embed an experiment‑led culture across the organisation, moving us away from "gut feel" to a rigorous, data‑backed cadence of A/B and multivariate testing.
• Help Define the Commercial Strategy: You will work together with key functions - Pricing, Marketing/Brand, and Insurance Carriers - to define acquisition models, using data to tailor journeys to consumer behaviour and improve our quote‑to‑purchase conversion.
• Unlock New Revenue Streams: You will lead the discovery and launch of 0‑1 new propositions, taking concepts from "loose hypotheses" to scalable revenue drivers.
• Optimise the Full Lifecycle: You will look beyond just "signing up" users. You will own the strategy for activation, retention, up‑sell, and habit formation, ensuring our customers find value early and continue to find value with us.
• Lead & Upskill the Team: You will mentor and coach Product Managers across the team, instilling a customer‑first mindset and raising the bar for our data capabilities.
• Drive AI Innovation: You will actively identify and implement AI tools to materially accelerate product development, content generation, and data analysis within your team.
• Bridge the Gap: You will partner cross‑functionally with Engineering, Data Science, and Marketing to ensure our growth strategy is technically feasible, commercially viable, and delivered with relentless velocity.

What you will need to be successful

• Master of "Build‑Measure‑Learn": Deep experience in prototyping and designing rigorous experiments (A/B testing, multivariate) rather than relying on gut feel.
• Commercial Fluency: Deep understanding of unit economics and data manipulation fluency. Your modus operandi is to uncover potential and prioritise core business metrics, not just “loose” hypotheses.
• Relentless Velocity: A track record of rapid building and testing. You help engrain the mindset of "minimum viable feature" and implement it fast.
• Calculated Risk‑Taker: You are bold and willing to take calculated risks, bringing key stakeholders along throughout the whole journey.
• Full‑Funnel Vision: You are obsessed with Retention and Upsell, not just Acquisition.
• Hands‑On Operator: You are not just a "strategist" or a "salesman". You are comfortable with hands‑on execution (even taking charge of a squad if needed).
• AI Proficiency: You have clear examples of how you have used AI to accelerate your or your team’s product development work materially.
