Job description

Project Manager - Product Development & Day 2 Markets

£850 per day | Inside IR35 | Contract

I'm currently recruiting for an experienced Project Manager to join a major specialty insurance transformation programme, focused on the development and launch of products across multiple international markets.

This is a key role working on Day 2 products - products that were not able to be launched as part of the initial Day 1 implementation and now need to be developed, matured and operationalised.

The role will involve working across multiple countries and markets, so this is an opportunity for someone with genuine international specialty insurance experience.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the delivery of product development and maturation activity across multiple markets.
• Manage products that require further development following the initial Day 1 launch.
• Work closely with existing Business Analysts to maintain, prioritise and deliver the product roadmap.
• Manage process and system-orientated change across the product lifecycle.
• Coordinate activity across multiple countries, potentially working across several markets simultaneously.
• Ensure product requirements are clearly defined, prioritised and delivered.
• Manage stakeholders across business, technology, product and operational teams.
• Ensure products are appropriately developed and operationalised within each market.
• Drive delivery through to implementation, ensuring dependencies and risks are effectively managed.

Experience Required

• Significant Project Management experience within the specialty insurance market - essential.
• Proven experience delivering product development initiatives.
• Experience launching new products and/or entering new markets.
• Demonstrable experience developing and maturing existing insurance products.
• Strong understanding of insurance processes, systems and operating models.
• Experience working across multiple countries or international markets is preferred.
• Candidates with purely UK-only experience are less likely to be suitable.
• Strong stakeholder management and delivery skills.
• Comfortable working in a complex, multi-market transformation environment.
• Able to operate independently and manage competing priorities.

This role would suit someone who has previously worked as a Project Manager delivering:

• New market entry programmes
• New product launches
• Product development and maturation
• Specialty insurance transformation
• International insurance change
• Process and system transformation
