• Manage relationships with Global IT and technical teams (London and Mumbai) and external vendors and implementation partners, ensuring clear accountability and delivery alignment
• Lead and motivate cross-functional project teams, including internal stakeholders and external partners, to deliver agreed milestones and outcomes
• Establish and maintain fit-for-purpose project governance and documentation, enabling effective oversight, decision-making, and assurance
• Implement and operate robust project controls, including integrated risk, issue, dependency, and contingency management, supported by clear and concise status reporting
• Proactively identify and address emerging delivery risks and issues, providing practical recommendations to maintain momentum and delivery confidence
• Prepare and present high-level updates, insights, and decision papers for Steering Committees and senior leadership across business, technology, and vendor streams

What You’ll Need to Succeed

• Proven experience delivering large-scale, business-critical transformation initiatives, ideally within the general insurance sector
• Strong understanding of insurance placement and renewal lifecycles, and how technology supports broker and insurer workflows
• Demonstrated capability in managing vendors and partners to contract, milestones, and outcomes
• Strong stakeholder management and influencing skills, including engagement with senior leaders across business, technology, and vendors
• Proven ability to deliver in fast-paced, high-pressure environments, balancing speed, quality, and control
