ABOUT SCHEMESERVE

For 25 years, SchemeServe has helped transform insurance products into successful, profitable solutions.
We’re always looking for new ways to innovate and improve. We strive to challenge industry norms and bring a unique personality to our work.
In a nutshell, SchemeServe is a UK-based Insurance SaaS solution specialising in services for starting, managing, and growing traditional (and specialist) insurance products. It was started in 2000 by our CEO and Founder, Adam, and the software now represents the leading edge in super-fast scheme deployment and truly Obsessive Support ™.
We’re fully remote, but we get together twice a year for some not-so-serious, and teeny tiny bit of serious, time together. We value self-development and encourage everyone to keep learning and take on new challenges. To help with this, we offer learning budgets for courses, books, and workshops.
Since we’re remote, we don’t offer free snacks or bean bags, but we do provide flexible work arrangements, a healthy work-life balance, and a friendly company culture. Every Thursday, we have ‘Elevenses,’ where anyone can join a video call to catch up, share stories, or play games. It helps us stay connected.
