We foster a flexible approach that empowers every Zegon to perform at their best. We ask you to spend at least one day a week in our central London or Halifax office. Every team has the flexibility to choose the day that works best for them. We cover the costs for all company wide events (3 per year), and also provide a separate hybrid contribution to help pay towards other travel costs. We think it's a good mix of collaborative face time and flexible home working, setting us up to achieve the right balance between work and life. Our approach to AI We believe in the power of AI to meaningfully improve how we work - helping us move faster, think differently, and focus on what matters most. At Zego, we encourage people to stay curious and intentional about how AI is leveraged in their work and teams to drive practical impact every day. This is your chance to do the most meaningful work of your career - and we'll provide you with the tools, support, and freedom to do it well. Benefits We reward our people well. Join us and you'll get a market competitive salary, private medical insurance, company share options, generous holiday allowance, and a whole lot of wellbeing benefits. And that's just for starters. We are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity at our company. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, or disability status.
