This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys both delivery leadership and commercial relationship building.

• Work closely with leadership to convert warm leads into active engagements

• Drive digital transformation initiatives across underwriting, operations, policy admin, claims, or broking environments

• Ensure projects are delivered on time, on budget, and to a high standard


Ideal Background

We are keen to speak with candidates who bring:

• Strong project or programme management experience within insurance

• Experience delivering transformation, systems implementation, or digitalisation programmes

• Understanding of commercial insurance, specialty insurance, Lloyd’s / London Market, or broader insurance operations

• Excellent stakeholder management and client-facing communication skills

• Experience working with offshore or distributed delivery teams would be beneficial

• Commercial instinct and interest in supporting account growth / business development

• Ambition to grow with a scaling business


Why Join?

• High-growth business with strong insurance market traction

• Opportunity to help build the US presence in New York

• Blend of delivery leadership and commercial exposure

• Work with recognised insurance clients on meaningful transformation programmes

• Clear progression path as the business scales

• Entrepreneurial environment with strong delivery capability


Package

• Bonus potential

• Strong long-term progression opportunity
