Senior Insights Manager - Product
Simply Business is more than our name. It's how we approach insurance: Make it clear. Make it simple. Make it affordable. By combining exceptional talent, technology, data, and knowledge, Simply Business is the go-to online insurance brokerage that protects small businesses and the entrepreneurs who work hard to build them.
We want team members who have the drive to challenge boundaries. If you’re smart and passionate about delivering brilliant customer experiences, we’d love to hear from you.
The Customer Insight discipline is part of the Customer Experience team. The team that defines how our customers, insurers and agents/consultants interact with Simply Business’s products and services end to end.
Our customer is at the core of everything we do at Simply Business. We’re looking for a Senior Insight Manager to empower the business to make customer-centric, evidence-based decisions that serve the needs and opportunities of the customer and Simply Business.
We want someone who understands research and experimental testing and is familiar with a wide range of approaches and methodologies, but for whom this is only a starting point. We need a strategic and analytical thinker who has experience in delivering impactful insight-led recommendations that deliver clarity and direction to decision makers across all levels of the business.
As a Senior Insight Manager you will:
- Ensure Simply Business’ short-to medium term product and positioning strategy is planned and grounded in the best possible understanding of our customers’ needs, attitudes and behaviours.
- Work cross functionally throughout the entire business, at all levels and across the US and UK market
- Communicate insight findings internally in clear and compelling ways and embed customer-focused thinking in the organisation
Responsibilities Include:
- Collaborating with Digital Product, Insurance Product, Marketing and Partnerships teams to understand their objectives and challenges, to identify the need and opportunities for customer insight in the short to medium term
- Leading the development and delivery of the short to medium term product and positioning insight roadmap
- Ensuring the recommendations are crafted and impactfully delivered to influence product development and positioning, our partnership strategy and the customer experience
- Defining and designing appropriate and efficient methodologies and approaches to provide high quality insight. (These could range from explorative qualitative research to experimental design and behavioral analysis to measure the behavioral impact of potential interventions)
- Delivering on these projects largely through conducting the work in-house, but occasionally using agencies.
What we are looking for:
- A true passion for understanding the customer
- At least 8 years experience in a customer insight, market research or behavioral science role (agency or client-side)
- Some experience with qualitative approaches is ideal, but extensive experience in designing and implementing quantitative projects is a must. This includes project design, sampling & recruitment, creating web-based surveys and analyzing the results.
- Effective at building and maintaining strong relationships with stakeholders of different levels and areas of expertise
- Confident in analyzing, distilling and interpreting findings from multiple sources into clear and actionable narratives, with excellent story-telling skills and a strong track record of building persuasive, evidence based positions

What's going on with work from home and return to the office?
More and more, people are talking about going back to the workplace and the new normal. At Simply Business, we’re thinking of it as a Better Normal. That means offering our SBers more choice and greater flexibility to work in a way that’s best for their particular job, their teams, and their lives.
We’re shifting to a hybrid working model, so we’ll have employees working virtually and in the office at any given time.
We’re also aware there are times when working together in person is the best way to get things done. We expect our SBers to connect in their hubs (that’s what we call our offices) most likely once every few weeks. That said, there’s no one-size-fits-all solution, so we expect all SBers and their teams will find the operating rhythm that works best for them.
If you’re wondering what it might be like for you at Simply Business, our Talent Acquisition is happy to answer any questions. In fact for them, it’s perfectly normal.
Most of our interviews will still take place over Zoom (however, depending on the role, there may be the opportunity/expectation to meet members of the team in-person). If it looks like you could be a good fit for the role, we’ll ask you to interview on Zoom – you’ll need WiFi and a laptop, or a 4G-enabled smartphone. If you don’t have access to either of these, or you need support with your application, get in touch with us at [email protected]. Similarly, please email us with any questions or if you want to pause your application for a bit – we’ll be happy to keep you updated on future opportunities like the one above.
