You already know how Monzo disrupted banking, and how Transferwise made it simple to send money abroad. We bet you’d rather summon an Uber than hail a taxi.

Insurance is the latest traditional industry on the brink of a tech transformation.

In 2016, Zego was founded by ex-Deliveroo managers. We believe that everyone - and every company - deserves clear, simple and flexible insurance. From carpenters to corporations, part-time hustlers to workaholics, Zego is committed to building insurance products that provide total peace of mind at a fair price.

In 2018, the Zegons landed in both Spain and Ireland. It’s our ambition to become a global business – we’re constantly pushing to break into new markets, discover what our customers want and deliver the products they need.

We’re backed by the best VCs in Europe and have been named amongst the ‘100 Hottest Startups in Europe’ and ‘Insurtech 100’.

Best of all? We’re just getting started.

We are now looking for a Head of Ride Hailing. You will be responsible for leading a cross-functional team and coordinate the efforts to build a unique offering tailored to Taxi drivers (Uber and Traditional Taxis). You will develop a defensible proposition that will make Zego the dominant player in this space.
