Pioneer Search is working with a leading global specialty insurance business on the appointment of a Project Manager within a high performing Change Delivery function.

This is a rare opportunity for someone with strong foundations to join an internal team delivering business & technology change across an international insurance group.

The organisation is looking for someone with the right grounding, attitude & aptitude: someone who has worked in consulting, project delivery, technology implementation, business change or insurance change, & now wants to build a long term career inside a global business.

The opportunity

You will be joining a high performing team that is willing to invest in your development. You will receive support, training & exposure to experienced change leaders, while working on projects that matter to the business.

The role offers exposure to senior stakeholders, including C suite level, & will suit someone who is confident with people, comfortable working through ambiguity & keen to develop quickly in a complex environment.

Projects may cover areas such as business change, technology enabled change, operational improvement, process change, product launches, new distribution channels, acquisitions & wider strategic initiatives.

What you will be doing

  • Supporting & leading project delivery across business & technology change initiatives
  • Working with senior stakeholders to understand priorities, risks & delivery requirements
  • Helping shape project plans, governance, reporting & delivery documentation
  • Tracking actions, risks, issues, dependencies, budgets & benefits
  • Coordinating business users, technology teams, vendors & project stakeholders
  • Supporting workshops, project meetings, steering updates & delivery reporting
  • Helping transition completed change into business as usual
  • Building strong relationships across an international business

What we are looking for

  • 1 year plus experience in consulting, project delivery, business change, transformation, technology implementation or insurance change
  • A good grounding in structured project delivery
  • Strong communication & stakeholder management skills
  • Confidence working with ambiguity & learning quickly
  • High attention to detail & strong work ethic
  • Ability to build relationships across business & technology teams
  • Experience in financial services, insurance, consulting or technology enabled change would be beneficial
  • PRINCE2, Agile or equivalent project exposure would be useful but is not essential

Why this role?

  • Move from consulting into an internal change team
  • Work with senior stakeholders, including C suite level
  • Join a high performing team with strong training & support
  • Gain exposure to varied business & technology change
  • Build a long term project delivery career inside a global insurance business
  • Secure a strong package at early career level.

This would suit someone who has had a good grounding in consulting or project delivery & is now ready for more ownership, deeper stakeholder relationships & long term development inside a global organisation.
