Looking for someone ready for a meaningful leadership challenge.

About SchemeServe

Our mission is simple: to make insurance better.

We’re a people-first SaaS company that believes great teams thrive when they’re supported by great leaders. We don’t do things the same way as everyone else — and we don’t expect you to have a traditional background either.

About The Role

We’re looking for someone in the UK (unfortunately we cannot accept international candidates at this time) to lead a small, friendly, high-performing team.

Your job is to make sure your team has what they need to do their best work: clarity, support, encouragement, and a steady hand when things get busy. You’ll help shape the way the team works, coach individuals, and keep everyone aligned as priorities shift.

This role is about people, communication, problem-solving, and adaptability — not about how technical you are.

What You’ll Do

  • Support and guide your team, ensuring they have the tools and clarity they need
  • Help people grow, learn new skills, and overcome challenges
  • Keep work flowing by resolving blockers and managing shifting priorities
  • Communicate clearly with both internal teams and external clients
  • Create a positive, safe, enjoyable environment for your team
  • Bring structure, calm, and focus — even when things get busy
  • Role-model our people-first approach in everything you do


What We’re Looking For

We’re not interested in long lists of rigid qualifications. We want someone who is a self-starter, adaptable, calm under pressure, and great with people.

You should be able to:

  • Work independently and collaboratively
  • Manage yourself and others in demanding or changing conditions
  • Handle multiple incoming tasks and shifting priorities
  • Communicate clearly and confidently
  • Learn quickly and pick up new skills
  • Stay positive and solutions-focused
  • Put people first and lead with empathy
  • Be willing to grow and be challenged


Your Background Might Be In…

Although we’re a SaaS business, your leadership experience could come from many different fields. Some backgrounds we’ve seen produce outstanding leaders include:

  • A/V or production managers
  • Theatre or creative technical directors
  • Restaurant or hospitality general managers
  • Youth sports coaches
  • Military NCOs (non-commissioned officers)
  • Event or operations coordinators
  • Customer support team leads
  • Startup founders (including those who “failed with grace”)


Or anywhere else where you’ve had to lead people, manage complexity, handle pressure, and keep a team motivated.

If you’ve supported people and managed chaos before, you can thrive here.

Beneficial But Not Required

  • Experience working in a technology company
  • Experience in the insurance world Neither is essential — we’ll support you to learn anything you need.


Why You Might Love This Role

  • A chance to make a real difference to real people
  • A supportive, human-centred culture
  • Varied work where no two days are the same
  • Room to grow, learn, and shape your career
  • A team that values kindness, honesty, and curiosity
  • A genuinely welcoming environment for career-changers
