Job description

We’re hiring an Implementation Lead to drive day-to-day delivery across a major technology programme within an insurance client.

Why this role matters

The business is scaling aggressively with a live transformation programme spanning:

• IT infrastructure
• Regulatory compliance (DORA / FCA operational resilience)

You’ll be the engine behind delivery — covering execution so senior leadership can focus on strategy and ExCo engagement.

This is a critical hire, not a support role.

What you’ll be doing

• Own delivery governance across multiple workstreams
• Manage 3rd party vendors and keep delivery on track
• Produce clear, concise reporting for senior stakeholders
• Act as the bridge between IT, Data, Ops & Compliance
• Apply PRINCE2 / MSP frameworks consistently

What we’re looking for

• 5–8 years in IT delivery (with insurance / regulated FS exposure)
• Proven PM / Delivery Manager — strong executor, not theorist
• Solid financial services/insurance domain understanding
• Familiarity with DORA at programme level
• Organised, accountable, and comfortable operating at pace

If you’re a delivery-focused operator who thrives in structured programmes and wants real ownership — this is worth a conversation.
