Talent Acquisition Manager - Tech

About Zego

At Zego, we know that traditional motor insurance holds good drivers back. It’s too complicated, too expensive, and it doesn’t take into account how well you actually drive. That’s why, since 2016, we’ve been on a mission to change all of that. Our mission at Zego is to offer the lowest priced insurance for good drivers. From van drivers and gig workers to everyday car drivers, our customers are our driving force — they’re at the heart of everything we do. We’ve sold tens of millions of policies so far, and raised over $200 million in funding. And we’re only just getting started.
