Senior Platform Product Manager (London / Portugal)

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.

Overview of the Product team

Product Managers at Zego are change-makers. We build and scale data-driven, impactful solutions that enable Zego to offer competitive and personalised insurance. Working in a fast-paced Agile environment, our team thrives on innovation, cross-functional collaboration, and driving measurable outcomes.

From enhancing pricing models to streamlining digital experiences, our Product team is instrumental in shaping the future of insurance.

About the role

Our Pricing teams are a critical part of our mission to offer the lowest-priced insurance for good drivers. They are made up of actuaries, data scientists, underwriters, software engineers, and ML engineers who work relentlessly to understand risk and price every quote accurately. 

You’ll be working as a Senior Platform Product Manager of the Pricing Platform team, one of the Pricing teams. Pricing Platform sits at the heart of our pricing domain by providing the infrastructure that empowers every team member to move at speed with their own roles, be it enabling actuaries to deploy pricing changes, allowing data scientists to build and deploy ML models, or empowering underwriters to control quote manipulation. 

You’ll need to be based either in the UK or in Portugal, see additional details at the bottom of this job description.

Over the next 12 months, you’ll spearhead a significant transformation of the Pricing Platform to support Zego’s growth and customer ambitions.

What you'll be doing

• Lead the definition of the quarterly strategy for the Pricing Platform team and contribute to long-term thinking
• Lead the discovery and prioritisation of initiatives that contribute to Zego’s goals, including defining the next stage of growth for the Pricing Platform
• Translate complex business requirements into clear, deliverable solutions, balancing long-term vision with short-term delivery
• Dive deep into technical detail to understand system dependencies, uncover risks, and make informed trade-offs
• Partner with stakeholders across multiple business domains to align on priorities, manage competing demands, and deliver business impact
• Lead the delivery of prioritised initiatives, collaborating cross-functionally with engineering, data, legal, compliance, and pricing teams as needed
• Measure success rigorously, setting KPIs to track reliability, scalability, and business outcomes, and using data to drive continuous improvement

What you'll need to be successful

• A track record of delivering impact in fast-paced, high-growth environments
• A self-starter mindset with ownership, accountability, and a bias for action
• Significant experience as a Product Manager in a platform-oriented role, ideally with exposure to backend services or complex systems within insurance, financial services or pricing domains
• Strong technical literacy, with the ability to engage confidently with engineers on system architecture, APIs, ML, and service design. Ideally, you’ll come from a technical background such as engineering or data science
• Strong data-driven and analytical mindset, comfortable querying and analysing data from various sources such as databases, Amplitude, Looker, etc., to inform decision-making
• Proven ability to work across multiple business domains, balancing diverse requirements and delivering solutions that serve the bigger picture
• Excellent problem-solving skills, with the ability to untangle complexity, manage dependencies, and create clarity where there is ambiguity
• Outstanding communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to influence at all levels of the business
• You will be someone who’s actively curious about how AI can enhance your work - keen to experiment, learn quickly, and apply tools that improve productivity, streamline tasks, or unlock new ways of thinking. Whether you’re already hands-on or fast building confidence, you take ownership of staying ahead and working smarter
