About SchemeServe

SchemeServe is insurance software like no other. Hosted in the cloud for MGAs, brokers and insurers, the SchemeServe platform boasts unique flexibility, unstoppable innovation, and truly Obsessive Support.
Started in 2000 by our CEO, Adam, SchemeServe has gone from strength to strength, never having taken outside investment. We are proud of how far we’ve come – and how loyal we've stayed to our Core Values.

We are a fully remote company (even before the pandemic!); however, we do meet twice a year for a Team Retreat (one in March, one in September). These are a time to share ideas, relax, and get to know each other better.

We absolutely prize self-development and encourage staff to continue learning and set new challenges for themselves. Free books? Mentoring? Professional development? You got it.

We also offer flexible working, paid days for charity work, a warm and friendly working environment, and a fantastic, relaxed, and open company culture.
We genuinely believe this is the best place you could ever work!
If you’re excited, good! So are we.

We’d love to hear from you if you’re:

• a curious person who thrives on challenge;
• self-motivated and thorough;
• daring and happy to go against the grain.

Come and join the insurtech revolution!
