Help us build an everything-but-average insurance brand. Fit for the ones who step outside the norm.
We back the ones who step outside the norm.
People who find themselves on a different path, either by choice or by circumstance. The exceptions to the rules that others aren’t interested in serving. Those are the ones we want to back, in everything we do.
For the next three years, that means becoming the go-to insurer for people who are new to the UK. A huge cohort of people that the industry is not set up to support.
Not only do we cater for their immediate needs (fairer, cheaper prices), we also go above and beyond to make them feel seen and heard in everything we do.

What's it like to work here?
We'll let the team answer this one...
Maria
"We're building an insurance company from the ground up. That’s exciting for engineers because they get to be part of the team that makes the very first decisions on how something is built. We have lots of problems to solve here, and engineers are at the centre of the solution!"
Charlie
"There are other areas in engineering that I’m interested in across the company. I’ve talked about this to my managers and they’re very supportive. They’ve helped show me what improvements I need to make to get to the next level, and have made a lot of time to discuss those things with me in my reviews."
Jerome
“In my team, we are currently focusing on helping our customers reach out to us as easily and quickly as possible if they are involved in an accident. It is challenging due the complexity of process or some external requirements, for example. But, it is very rewarding to be able to help customer at a point in their experience where they really need our service to be here for them."
To solve big problems,
we need exceptional
people from all walks of life.
Through our values, processes, and top tier development frameworks, we're creating a culture where everyone feels empowered to bring their unique perspectives and boldest ideas to the table.
So what’s in it for you?!

A word from our founders
“We have always been a purpose-driven company.
We started Marshmallow when we found out how unfair insurance prices are for people who move to the UK.
We now help 100,000s of UK newcomers get a fairer deal on their car insurance every year.
We do that by building our own technology, developing pricing and fraud models that let us cater to their unique experiences, and investing time in getting to know them on a deeper level.
But there are millions of marginalised customers out there who find themselves on a different path - either by choice or circumstance. And we know they face unique problems that most companies aren’t even aware of.
We believe our future is in helping those people by learning about their experiences, and building our company around their needs.”

About Marshmallow
We started Marshmallow when we found out how unfair insurance prices are for people who move to the UK. All because the industry hasn’t given this huge cohort of people a second’s thought, and isn’t set up to price them properly.
We saw an opportunity to do things differently, so we made it our mission to back the ones who step outside the norm. Since we started, we’ve helped 100,000s of people get a fairer deal on their car insurance. Using technology, we serve people that are often overlooked by financial services companies, solving important problems for people who need it most.
We know there are millions of marginalised customers out there. And we know that they face unique problems that most companies aren’t even aware of. We believe that our future is helping these people by learning about their experiences, and building our company around their needs. And there are strong signs that there’s a need for a company like us. Earlier this year we hit profitability, which is a huge milestone, but the most exciting thing is that we’re only just getting started.
How we work
We’re really proud of the culture we’ve created. We push for progress every day, because we know that we’ll only hit big milestones by taking lots of smaller steps. We’re always open to helping our team mates, sharing our ideas, experience and knowledge to solve problems together. We take risks, think creatively and experiment relentlessly to meet our customer’s needs, and never pass blame when things go wrong. We encourage people at all levels to take ownership of their work, and to be bold in challenging how we do things. Everyone has a voice and the opportunity to make an impact.
And autonomy and ownership are only possible with clear direction. That’s why we collaborate to do in-depth planning twice a year, and make sure we leave with clear goals and objectives that flow from top to bottom. To make sure we’re as aligned as possible across functions, most of our work rolls up into four tribes; Acquisition, Retention, Claims and Pricing, Underwriting & Fraud. Each tribe has multiple teams embedded in it, working cross-functionally to do great work.
We’re so excited for all of the challenges up ahead, and we need more people to help us tackle them! If life at Marshmallow sounds like it could be for you, explore our culture handbook or read our blog to find out more.
The Team
The Complaints Team exists to ensure we treat customers fairly, and protect the company from a regulatory, financial and reputational risk. An important part of our role is also to drive continuous improvement, by looking out for trends in the complaints we receive, and working with other teams to strengthen their processes. Our vision is to become so proactive that we would ultimately eliminate the need for customers to complain.
The Complaints Team became its own function in November 2021, and we’re very eager to improve our own processes as well to make sure we become as efficient as possible, and provide an amazing service to our customers. Our team members each have areas of expertise, and are focused on responding to Customer Operations, Fraud prevention, Underwriting or Claims-related complaints.

You take ownership and accountability for your own work and are confident in coming to a decision based on your investigation.
