The Opportunity
Our Insurance Business Transformation team helps our clients make more informed decisions on how to optimise their businesses, drive growth and efficiency and improve their customer journeys.

- Business Transformation experience – Experience of end-to-end business driven change through the full lifecycle (discovery, business requirements definition, design and implementation) along with an understanding of the digitisation journey many clients are currently undertaking
- A demonstrable understanding of the UK Life Insurance or Pensions and Investment markets, commercial dynamics and change levers
- Excellent client stakeholder management skills and ability to build relationships
Ideally, you’ll also have
- A team player attitude; you openly support, encourage and share knowledge with colleagues
- The ability to coach and mentor junior colleagues and provide on-the-job training
- Commitment to actively engaging with our D&I agenda and championing social purpose-driven change
- A strong interest and commitment to developing and delivering leading edge solutions to insurance industry clients
