Job Description
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.
About the role
We’re seeking a talented and ambitious Autonomous Vehicles Underwriter to shape, develop and grow our underwriting capabilities in the UK. If you’re hands on, hungry to disrupt the traditional insurance market to make real change, this is the role for you!
Autonomous Vehicles represent Zego’s most significant strategic growth area, attracting the highest level of cross-functional investment across product, data science, engineering, and commercial teams. As our first dedicated AV underwriter, your work will be pivotal to Zego’s future success

You will work with an elite group of team mates, including pricing, commercial, claims and product, and you’ll be the go-to person for motor insurance knowledge, ensuring that our products meet the current and future needs of our customers.
What you will be doing
- Pioneer AV Insurance: develop creative, future-facing underwriting strategies for autonomous fleets, human-supervised systems, and AV-enabled platforms. Innovate beyond traditional risk frameworks to accommodate new driving behaviors, ownership models, and liability paradigms
- Shape AV Portfolio Growth: own and grow Zego’s AV book in the UK, balancing ambitious top-line GWP growth targets with disciplined portfolio profitability and loss ratio management
- Develop Broker & Commercial Partnerships: Support sales and commercial teams in structuring AV insurance solutions for our broker network and direct clients. Be the underwriting lead on new business opportunities and renewals.
- Build Process & Infrastructure: Define and streamline underwriting workflows, data capture, and decision logic for scalable AV insurance operations. Bring clarity to an evolving regulatory and technical landscape.
- Own the Knowledge Stack: Act as Zego’s internal expert on AV-related insurance, from UK motor regulations to AV-specific liability trends and actuarial assumptions. Represent Zego in conversations with reinsurers, MGAs, OEM partners, and the wider AV ecosystem.
What you will need to be successful
- Underwriting Experience: 3+ years of UK motor fleet underwriting experience, ideally with exposure to AVs, connected vehicles, or other next-gen mobility risks
- AV Domain Curiosity: Demonstrated interest or involvement in autonomous vehicle technologies, whether through prior underwriting, academic work, regulatory study, or commercial partnerships
- Startup Mentality: You are self-starting, proactive and creative. Willing to work fast and make commercial considerations that come with working at a VC-backed start-up, with a strong desire to build something new that will scale at an exponential rate for years to come
- Deep Insurance Knowledge: in-depth knowledge of the insurance market, policy wordings and guidelines
- Creative Commercial Thinking: you have an eye for detail and can see trade-offs between profitability and growth in your underwriting decisions everyday; with a strong drive to produce creative solutions to resolve these trade-offs and disrupt the insurance industry for good
- Cross-disciplinary expertise: you are a great communicator and have demonstrable experience working with technical and non-technical colleagues including: pricing, sales / broking, product management and operations teams. You are comfortable acting as an insurance domain expert internally, and confident in articulating your underwriting ideas and decisions with external (re)insurers
