About us
At Urban Jungle, we’re making insurance fair – to people, planet and wallets. We’re one of the fastest-growing businesses in the UK, working to fix one of the biggest industries in the world.
We put customers at the heart of everything we do, using data and technology to make insurance simple, flexible, and affordable.
We care about our impact on the planet, becoming a B Corp in 2022 and offsetting our carbon emissions every year.
So far, we’ve helped 300,000 customers get better insurance and become one of the top-rated home insurance providers in the UK.
We placed 1st in Tempo’s 2024 award for best startup to work for, and are in the top 10 of Deloitte’s Fast 50. We’ve raised over £43m in funding to date to help us with our mission.
We’re looking for people to join our team of kind, talented people on a mission to change the insurance industry for good.
About the role
We’re taking everything we’ve learnt from building our own brand and using it to partner with some of the world’s biggest names. Our goal? To bring our products to even more people through working with major retailers, supermarkets, banks, and more.
Partnerships are a fast-growing part of our business, and we’re looking for a driven, enthusiastic Commercial Associate to join our team and help drive our next phase of growth.
In this role, you’ll have the opportunity to work with some of the world’s biggest brands to scale and expand our product offering. Working across the entire Partnerships lifecycle, with a focus on winning new, high-impact partnerships, you’ll make a significant impact on our business from the get-go.
You’ll be joining a small but nimble team, working closely alongside our Partnerships Manager and Chief Commercial Officer. As you’ll be joining the function at an early stage, you’ll get tons of responsibility and visibility within the wider business.
Here’s what you’ll get up to:
- Building and strengthening relationships with our current partners to drive long-term success.
- Uncovering new opportunities through research and analysis to fuel our growth and business development.
- Help drive new partnership launches, ensuring everything runs smoothly.
- Prepping for and actively participating in business development meetings with potential partners.
- Working cross-functionally across the UJ team to supercharge our partnership goals and make a real impact.
- Supporting the Partnerships Manager, CCO, and senior team with the highest priorities for the Partnerships team.
You’ve read this far! Here’s what we’re looking for from you:
- You’re an entrepreneurial self-starter with a creative, problem-solving mindset.
- You take initiative and get stuff done.
- You’re well organised with a keen eye for detail.
- You have great written and verbal communication skills, and are comfortable engaging with a wide range of audiences.
- You’re ambitious, and eager to progress quickly to grow alongside the function and company.
- You apply yourself to everything you do, recognising the difference that makes to the business.
- You treat everyone with integrity, respect and kindness – whether it’s your colleagues, our customers, or our partners.
- You’ll be a champion of our values, and encourage others to be the same.
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.

- A Clear Plan. We’ll give you the clarity on what we want to achieve, with the freedom and autonomy for you to decide how we get there.
- The Best People. You’ll be surrounded by teammates who are exceptional at what they do, whilst being kind, honest people who champion our values.
- A dedicated development budget, access to a senior mentor, and training on whatever you need to do your job well.
