Product Manager

An award-winning insurance brand for young drivers and learner drivers. As well as our car insurance products, we offer a whole range of guidance and support for new drivers and parents too.

By rewarding young drivers with discounts for good driving, our aim is to help them stay safe on the road, (which helps Mum and Dad sleep at night) but also to make insurance more affordable.

Our work culture is a friendly and relaxed one - you won’t find any suits here - but we work hard as we know we’re part of a competitive market. Innovation and growth are a big focus for us over the coming year.
