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.
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.
Our engineers are at the heart of the solutions. They work on product builds from start to finish, solving lots of challenges to help us build fast and scale up! Our engineers cover a range of skills across frontend, backend, full stack, iOS and Android, and work alongside designers, data scientists, researchers and product managers within our product teams.
Our product teams include: the Growth team, the Renewals team and the Claims Tech team (to name a few!). Each team sets its own roadmap and actively pushes our codebase forward.
Claims Tech is a distributed team with a strong presence in Budapest and London, with a purpose to revolutionise the claims journey. Our mission is to streamline the claims process, reducing costs, enhancing the customer experience, and empowering our operational team to reach their full potential. We have big ambitions for 2024, thus we are building a second Claims Tech Team in Budapest.
Currently, we are in the process of developing our cutting-edge internal Claims Management System (CMS). This application is designed to seamlessly guide insurance claims from inception to resolution. It handles every facet of the claims process (internal, external, customer-facing), integrating with partners as well as the financial reporting.
Our commitment to innovation and excellence is at the core of everything we do, and the Claims Management System is a testament to our dedication to achieving industry-leading results in claims management.
