At Urban Jungle, we’re making insurance fair - to people, planet and wallets. We're one of the fastest-growing businesses in the UK, working to fix one of the biggest industries in the world.
We put customers at the heart of everything we do, using data and technology to make insurance simple, flexible, and affordable.
We care about our impact on the planet, becoming a B Corp in 2022 and offsetting our carbon emissions every year.
So far, we’ve helped 300,000 customers get better insurance and become one of the top-rated home insurance providers in the UK.
We placed 1st in Tempo's 2024 award for best startup to work for, and are in the top 10 of Deloitte’s Fast 50. We’ve raised over £43m in funding to date to help us with our mission.
We’re looking for people to join our team of kind, talented people on a mission to change the insurance industry for good.
About the role
As an Associate Product Manager at Urban Jungle, you’ll be right at the heart of how we design, build, and improve the experiences that thousands of our customers interact with everyday. You’ll work closely with our engineering, design, and operations teams to take ideas from problem to prototype to launch.
You’ll get hands‑on experience across the full product lifecycle: from streamlining our purchase flow to help more customers convert, to improving our claims journey to make it smoother and more transparent, to launching entirely new products, to building internal tools that power our operations (and so much more). From day one, you’ll be digging into data, defining problems, and shipping real features.
Here’s what you’ll get up to:
* You’ll be supporting our biggest business problems from the get-go, collaborating across various teams in the business, including insurance, operations, commercial, and of course, working very closely with our engineering teams.
* On larger projects, you’ll contribute to the scoping, development, testing, and eventual launch of features. On smaller projects, you’ll get the chance to own the problem space end to end.
* Once you’ve shipped key features, you’ll help measure performance, identify improvements, and advocate for changes to make our products even better.
* Of course, as a startup we’ll also expect you to roll your sleeves up and get involved wherever the company needs you.
You've read this far! Here's what we need from you:
* You're either early on in your product career, or incredibly passionate about getting into product management after a stint in a commercial environment (e.g in Marketing or Partnerships).
* You have strong communication skills and a track record of working effectively across teams.
* We are changing a huge financial industry - you are excited about being a part of this big opportunity (even if you know nothing about Insurance right now!)
* You’ll have the ability to think critically with experience in leveraging business data to drive results.
These requirements are a guide as to what we’re looking for, but if you don’t have all of the skills listed above, that’s okay! Please don’t let that hold you back from applying if the role excites you.
