Insurance / Protection Specialist

The Opportunity:

Picnic, alongside our established specialist mortgage brand, Haysto, is scaling fast. With plans to double in size in 2026, we’re expanding our Insurance team, and we're now looking to hire additional high-calibre Insurance Specialists to support the surge of customers coming through our platform.

This isn’t your typical protection role. No hunting. No cold outreach. No waiting for the phone to ring. We generate 1000's of mortgage leads every single month. Meaning you'll receive a high volume of high-quality, pre-qualified leads every day.

Every customer has already been pre-qualified through our digital journey, spoken to a Mortgage Adviser, has their Agreement in Principle (AIP) confirmed, and has paid a commitment fee.

That means you’re speaking to warm, motivated customers who already understand their mortgage position and are expecting to discuss their protection needs.

The result? Insurance Advisers at Haysto enjoy unrivalled access to high-intent customers, creating the perfect environment to consistently deliver outstanding advice and outstanding earnings.

What You’ll Do:

You’ll work directly with customers who are already mid-journey on their mortgage application. Your role is to understand their circumstances, educate them on risk, and build personalised protection solutions that genuinely safeguard their home and family.

Why Haysto/Picnic?

You’ll be joining one of the UK’s fastest-growing brokerages — backed by leading investors, driven by smart tech, and built around advisers who want to be the best.

You’ll enjoy:

• A constant flow of qualified customers ready for protection conversations

• Zero cold-calling — every customer is already engaged

• Best-in-market mortgage and protection tech workflow

• A culture built on high performance, honesty and adviser success

Who We’re Looking For:

Protection Advisers who know how to build trust quickly, explain complex products simply, and want to thrive in a high-volume, high-quality environment.

If you’re ambitious, customer-centric and want to work somewhere where opportunity is limited only by the number of conversations you can handle, then Haysto is the place to do your best work.

What We Offer:

Tiered Progression:

• Tier 1: Hit your first banking target → Promotion to Senior Consultant → Basic rises to £35K.

• Tier 2: Hit your second banking target → Promotion to Executive Consultant → Basic rises to £40K. 

Benefits & Perks:

• 36 days holiday (including your birthday off!)

• Fully remote role – with optional office access.

• Access to Spill, a mental health support platform.

• Equity scheme – own a piece of the company.

• Casual dress when in the office.

• Regular company events.

• Generous employee referral programme.

• Company pension.

Picnic Values

Working at Picnic is dynamic and demanding, powered by a set of values that guide how we think, act, and win together.

1. We are customer-obsessed: We put customers at the centre of everything we do, because when they win, we win.

2. We own the outcome: Take responsibility for results, not excuses. We do what we say we’ll do, follow through, and fix what’s broken.

3. We move fast & execute: Speed is one of our biggest competitive advantages. Hunger Enough is never enough. We don’t settle for the status quo and keep going when others quit. Positive Mindset.

4. We choose optimism: We focus on what matters, control what we can. Build Together, Win Together. We win as a team — across roles, brands, and partners. Collaboration and trust fuel our growth. 

Career Development

Your career ambitions are as important to us as they are to you. We’ve built a dedicated training and development programme to help all our team members realise their full potential. Many of our existing management team initially joined us as individual contributors, before their talent was recognised and rewarded with a chance to progress.

So, there is a great future and vast opportunity to shine for the right candidates beyond their existing role.
