Future Operations Talent Pool

About the role

We’re always on the lookout for passionate, talented and customer-obsessed people to join our Operations team and help us transform the insurance industry.

We regularly hire members into our Operations team throughout the year, so whether you’re looking for a role now, or in the future, we’d love to hear from you!

Working in Operations at Urban Jungle means you’d be at the heart of how we deliver an exceptional experience for our customers. It’s a varied role where you’ll spend time directly helping customers, solving problems, progressing claims and making sure our day-to-day operations run smoothly.

You’d also have plenty of opportunity to look beyond the day-to-day - spotting ways we could work better, getting involved in projects and collaborating with teams across the business to improve our products and customer experience.

Here's what you'll get up to:

You’d spend around half of your time working directly with customers across phone, chat and email - answering questions, troubleshooting problems, progressing claims and helping them navigate the world of insurance.
You’d identify opportunities to make things better, then work with our Operations, Product, Engineering and Insurance teams to turn those ideas into reality.
You’d play a key role in improving and scaling our operational processes as Urban Jungle grows, helping us become more efficient while keeping the customer at the heart of what we do.
You’d get involved in exciting projects and new challenges - from helping build new operational functions to supporting the growth of our in-house claims process and launching new products.
You’d be a voice for our customers across the business, making sure their feedback helps shape how we work and the products we build.

You've read this far! Here's what we're looking for from you:

Whether you're just starting out in your career or already have some experience under your belt, we're looking for curious, proactive problem solvers who want to have an impact on the lives of real people.

You’re excited about being part of a business that’s trying to change a huge financial industry - even if you know nothing about insurance right now!
You have exceptional written and verbal communication skills and can communicate clearly with both customers and colleagues.
You’re energised by problems of all shapes and sizes and see them as an opportunity to make something better.
You like to make things happen. When you need to juggle multiple priorities and deadlines, you’re not afraid to roll up your sleeves and get stuck in.
You’re comfortable working directly with customers and genuinely care about delivering an exceptional experience.
You’re curious and always looking for ways to learn, improve and challenge how things are done.
You manage your time well and can balance day-to-day work with longer-term projects and improvements.
You treat everyone with integrity, respect and kindness - whether it’s your colleagues, our customers, or our partners.

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.
