Technical Product Manager - Data Platform at prima

Are you looking for a new challenge? Fancy helping us shape the future of motor insurance? Prima could be the place for you.  Since 2015, we’ve been using our love of data and tech to rethink motor insurance and bring drivers a great experience at a great price. Our story began in Italy, where we’ve quickly become the number one online motor insurance provider. In fact, we’re trusted by over 5 million drivers. And now we’re expanding to help millions more drivers in the UK and Spain.
