Description

Project Manager (Insurance)

Up to £650 per day (Outside IR35)

6-Month Contract | 2 days/week in London office


Our client, a leading underwriting business, is preparing for its next phase of growth and is seeking a Project Manager with strong business analysis capabilities to drive delivery across a critical transformation roadmap.


Following a strategic audit, key recommendations were made to enhance operational readiness, streamline finance systems, and modernise internal processes. This role is central to developing a delivery plan and ensuring the organisation is equipped for future expansion and potential funding activity.


Key Responsibilities:

  • Lead the planning and execution of tactical and strategic improvements across finance and operations.
  • Develop a clear, actionable roadmap for audit recommendations.
  • Build business cases, prioritise deliverables, and manage cross-functional stakeholder engagement.
  • Conduct workshops and interviews to define requirements and identify quick wins vs. long-term initiatives.
  • Work closely with the CFO and the change leadership to provide delivery oversight.
  • Navigate complex stakeholder dynamics and manage personalities with political sensitivity.


What We’re Looking For:

  • Proven hybrid Project Manager / Business Analyst with strong insurance sector experience.
  • Understanding of insurance operations and finance, ideally including PAS replacement or system upgrades.
  • Excellent stakeholder management skills — confident working with senior leadership and challenging personalities.
  • Ability to work independently, own the roadmap, and keep momentum with limited supervision.
  • Comfortable balancing short-term tactical improvements with strategic, long-term transformation goals.
  • A pragmatic, emotionally intelligent communicator who thrives in fast-paced environments.


This is an exciting opportunity to help shape the operational foundation of a growing insurance firm during a pivotal moment. If you’re delivery-focused, politically astute, and thrive in complex environments, we’d love to hear from you.


Apply now to take the lead on a roadmap that supports transformation at both operational and strategic levels.
