iOS and Android Product Designer in London

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 picked up numerous awards, including the Employer of The Year 2025 as awarded at The Insurance Post's Awards and Excellence in Digital Marketing Award at the British Insurance Tech Awards 2025. And we’re only just getting started.

We are seeking a Product Designer to join our growing product and design team. The successful candidate will be both a conceptual thinker and a practical doer, with the ability to translate big ideas into intuitive, bold, and functional designs. They will be a strong communicator, adept at bringing together cross-functional teams, and will thrive on taking ownership and driving initiatives proactively. We value collaboration, curiosity, and the drive to push beyond “good enough” into truly outstanding work.
