Are you an experienced Project Manager who thrives in complex environments and enjoys leading transformative change? This is a fantastic opportunity to join an organisation with a powerful mission — to make roads safer by tackling the issue of uninsured and hit-and-run drivers.

Each year, the organisation supports tens of thousands of people affected by these incidents, compensating victims quickly, fairly and compassionately. In partnership with police, insurers and government, they work towards a future where such incidents are a thing of the past.

The Role

As Project Manager, you will play a pivotal role in leading the delivery of technology and change projects. Acting as a key partner to Product Owners and Transformation Leaders, you will translate business goals into tangible outcomes, lead high-performing teams, and drive continuous improvement using both Agile and traditional project management methods.

You’ll have full ownership of project planning and execution — from initiation to service introduction and benefits realisation — ensuring the organisation meets strategic and operational objectives. You’ll bring structure, insight and leadership to ensure successful delivery within time, cost, quality and risk parameters.

• Develop and execute transition and readiness plans in collaboration with end users.
• Ensure compliance with governance processes and delivery standards.

What You’ll Need

• Prince2, Agile Scrum Master, Unified Process or equivalent qualification.
• Strong background in Agile (Scrum, Kanban) and Waterfall delivery models.
• Experience managing multiple complex projects, ideally within insurance or related sectors.
• A collaborative leadership style with the ability to motivate diverse teams.
• Strong stakeholder management and communication skills, including with third-party suppliers.
• Experience with tools such as sprint planning, retrospectives, storyboarding and requirements traceability.
• Demonstrated ability to manage budgets and drive successful project outcomes.

• Bonus scheme of up to 15%
