Before companies like Cuvva, the most recent consumer-facing innovation in insurance was through aggregators such as Moneysupermarket. However, the experience of using these is not great. The industry is known for low levels of customer support, confusing policies and needing to create a new account every time you want a quote.
Brokers and comparison websites add another step to the process, and charge companies they work with ~£70 on each policy sold, which is passed on to the customer in the form of higher policy costs.
Cuvva's focus on customer service is unusual in insurance, but it's providing them a winning edge. They are trying to make insurance more about the experience than simply the price of the policy. It seems to be working so far, as they’ve got a lot of great customer reviews. The challenge will be scaling this support (it’s notoriously hard to scale great customer service when you’re growing fast).
For an industry where brand loyalty is currently near zero (because people go for the cheapest policies) there could be a big opportunity for a company that provides an end-to-end amazing experience and cuts out the middlemen.

At Cuvva we have the autonomy to run projects and be innovative every day. No day is the same, one day I could be onboarding new joiners, the next organising our summer party.

The people at Cuvva are incredibly supportive, when I was going through difficult personal times the entire team would leap in to help at the last minute. I genuinely feel like my colleagues want to see me succeed in my role.

My Manager is incredibly supportive. In every 1:1 we talk about progression, how to reach the next salary banding, what's going on in my personal life and we have time for new ideas. I see her as a real friend and I'm very lucky to have her as a Manager.

Cuvva has a really open and honest level of communication. Anyone can pull Freddy, the CEO, for a chat if they wanted. We've always had opportunities to raise our voices and opinions if needed, and the culture is such that even if we're questioning something, there won't be any ramifications. Just open dialogue.

One of the reasons I joined Cuvva was because of where they're going and the opportunity in front of them. It's a really exciting space to be in. We've just redefined our mission to refocus on where we're going in the next few years which will help people, the community and the planet.

Autonomy

No day is boring. Pretty much every day has a lot to do. A lot of work to push you and deliver good work. There are complexities in the product that you need to break down and analyse for all stakeholders. It's challenging to do but rewarding to achieve.

Clear progression framework for each role. The people team tries a lot to create a structure that you agree with and you can benchmark against. Your manager has regular 1-2-1 and quarterly and yearly reviews make sure you are on track with useful feedback from your main colleagues.

LOADS of opportunities to learn. I started at Cuvva 4 years ago in customer operations. Managed to grow within the team and then break off into a sub team focusing on fraud. Then I managed to learn SQL and model structures, then joined the data team as an analyst and in turn an engineer. Loads of people with loads of information to help you progress. Only thing is you got to put in the time to learn.

I joined Cuvva in Customer Operations and have been able to start and build a team focused on training and onboarding new team members while upskilling in line management responsibilities. I've been mentored by managers across the company & have been given plenty of stretch opportunities to help me develop in areas I wouldn't always have exposure to.

The culture at Cuvva means that everyone gets stuck in & cares about what's happening at all levels of the business. I've never not received help when I ask for it, and more often than not it's offered before I've had to ask. The people that work for this Cuvva are what make it such a special place to work, and it's always been that way.
