Zego
iOS and Android Product Designer Hybrid Marketing London, England, United Kingdom 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. Purpose of the role 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’re a small team and that’s by design. What matters most to us is bringing in the right skills and attitude. We value collaboration, curiosity, and the drive to push beyond “good enough” into truly outstanding work. What you'll be working on Product Design Leadership - Lead the end-to-end design process from discovery through to delivery, ensuring a user-centred approach. - Craft intuitive, accessible, and scalable experiences across iOS and Android platforms. - Embed UX principles and design thinking into everything you do, creating user experiences that are purposeful and impactful. - Share knowledge and champion design practices across the organisation to promote a strong design culture. Design Systems & Consistency - Support and evolve the company’s design system, ensuring consistency and quality across our products and platforms. - Establish best practices and governance models for maintaining design system scalability. Collaboration & Communication - Partner closely with Product Managers, Designers, Engineers, and other stakeholders to define problems and deliver impactful solutions. - Build strong, collaborative relationships with developers, recognising this as a vital partnership for success. - Present complex ideas through compelling prototypes and storytelling, winning the hearts and minds of users and stakeholders alike. - Facilitate and participate in workshops and design syncs, fostering alignment and clarity across teams. - Actively contribute to a collaborative, team-first culture, recognising that the best outcomes come from working together. Innovation & Ownership - Proactively identify opportunities to improve user experiences. - Drive projects independently, with the confidence to make informed design decisions while seeking feedback when needed. - Maintain a growth mindset, striving for excellence in your own craft, your team’s output, and the product as a whole. Industry Understanding - Apply knowledge of insurance/finance user behaviours, regulations, and patterns to design products that are both innovative and compliant. - Stay ahead of industry trends and emerging technologies to ensure the product offering remains competitive and user-focused. What you will need to be successful - This role is ideal for someone with strong expertise across iOS and Android platforms, proven experience in managing and evolving design systems, and a background (or keen interest) in the insurance / finance sector. - Considerable experience in Product Design, with strong exposure to native mobile platforms. - Proven experience embedding UX principles and design thinking into products and processes. - Adept at prototyping and presenting complex ideas through compelling narratives that inspire and align teams. - Strong portfolio showcasing the full design journey — from conceptual exploration and process through to the final execution of complex design solutions. - Experience working closely with developers and ensuring seamless collaboration between design and engineering. - Strong understanding of interaction design, visual design, and information architecture. - Experienced in running, supporting, and synthesising insights from user testing, ensuring feedback directly informs design decisions and product improvements. - Interested in exploring and adopting AI tools and approaches to improve design workflows, enhance creativity, and increase the impact of outputs. Mindset & Traits - You don’t settle for average, you’re always looking to raise the bar in your own work, your team’s output, and the product’s impact. - Curious yet strategic, you explore widely but always with purpose and focus. - Highly proactive with strong initiative, not afraid to challenge assumptions or take ownership of projects. - A team player above all, who thrives in a collaborative environment and contributes to a positive, supportive culture. - Comfortable working in fast-paced, regulated industries like insurance or finance. - Passionate about building inclusive, accessible experiences for diverse users.
