AI & Automation Engineer (all genders)

Help us build the insurance experience of the future. As AI & Automation Engineer, you will be the hands-on builder behind Operations’ automation and AI capabilities. Reporting to the Head of Strategic Operations, you design, build, and maintain automations and AI-driven solutions that increase efficiency, reduce operational cost, and improve the customer experience across our core operational domains.

You translate the Operations automation and AI roadmap into shipped, reliable solutions - working hands-on with tools such as Zendesk, n8n, and self-hosted and cloud-based AI models. You partner closely with Product & Engineering (P&E), who own our claims engine and the heavy lifting of claims automation, and you collaborate across Customer Support, Claims, Finance, Sales, and other departments to identify and deliver high-impact automation opportunities.

This is an opportunity to specialise in applied AI and automation within insurance operations. You will not only run existing automations but help shape and grow this capability over time. You do not need to be an AI expert today: if you have a strong drive to go deep in AI and automation and want the runway to grow into it, this role gives you exactly that.

This is an individual contributor role with the potential to build and lead a small team over time.

Together with the respective counterparts (e.g. in Sales), build and maintain automated interfaces between Operations and other departments
Document and standardise automated processes for maintainability and scaling

Work closely with the team’s data analysts to surface opportunities and analyse performance
Provide transparent reporting on automation performance and ROI

Build automations and AI solutions with reliability, data protection, and auditability in mind
