Head of Technical

The Head of Technical will report into the Head of CSD, and support all of the CSD function as well as the GBC broking teams in some areas.

A key leadership position within CSD that has a direct impact on service provided by CSD, as well as providing motivation and visibility around progression for colleagues, and shaping the design of new technologies to support colleagues and provide technical excellence.

This is a hybrid role with the flexibility to work both virtually and from our London and/or Chelmsford offices.

This role is primarily responsible for upskilling the Client Service Delivery community, and contributing to strategic projects through knowledge sharing and advice and active participation in workstreams.

• Design and implementation of a competency framework that provides clarity on development and progress for colleagues, whilst also measuring overall technical capability.
• Provide training to CSD community on key topics in support of colleague development and improving the CSD service
• Subject matter expert to have an active role in all major operational change projects from system replacements to future at Lloyds.
• Undertake technical audits across CSD and Broking communities for correct use of MRC and supporting processes, providing constructive feedback.
• Responsibility for maintaining appropriate wordings, clauses and MRC templates across various platforms
• Technical query resolution

How this opportunity is different

The Client Service Delivery team provides an invaluable service to the broking teams, improving client service and reducing queries and errors.

This is an excellent opportunity to drive the evolution of the client service model by prioritising technical knowledge and capability as a core component of the service.

This role is fundamental to the digital transformation of our broking business as we adapt processes to align with future technology and the London Market transformation journey within BluePrint2.

This is a leadership position that will work closely with the Head of Client Service Delivery, as well as the GBC Head of Operations, and will require nurturing of a wide network across the broking and governance functions of Aon in the UK.

• Someone who will lead by example and inspire a large team to deliver technical excellence
• Someone who has the energy and enthusiasm to play a leading role in improving how we prioritise technical capability across CSD
• Someone who is an effective line manager for a small team
• Someone who has a thorough understanding of the London Market
• Someone who is able to oversee numerous projects and manage resource prioritisation
• Someone who can be pragmatic, helping the team solve problems they come against
• Someone who is commercially aware in delivering to budgets
• Someone who is able to manage demanding stakeholders
