Job description

The Role

We’re hiring a Director to help lead and grow a US Insurance consulting practice, working with senior executives across insurance carriers, brokers, and financial services firms.

This is a senior leadership role combining client delivery, account ownership, and business development. You’ll be responsible for shaping engagements, owning senior client relationships, leading teams, and driving growth across the insurance practice.

This role is for someone who wants real P&L impact, not just delivery oversight.

What You’ll Be Responsible For

• Owning and leading complex, high-value insurance consulting engagements
• Acting as the senior day-to-day contact for executive-level clients
• Designing and delivering business, operating model, and technology-enabled transformation programs
• Driving high-quality outcomes across time, budget, and client satisfaction
• Managing engagement risk, dependencies, and senior stakeholder alignment
• Leading, mentoring, and developing Managers and Consultants
• Building and maintaining long-term client relationships and accounts
• Identifying and executing business development opportunities
• Supporting account growth, proposal development, and commercial negotiations
• Contributing to the strategic growth of the US Insurance practice
• Staying close to key insurance industry trends and client priorities

What We’re Looking For

• 10+ years’ experience delivering consulting or large-scale change initiatives
• Strong background in insurance consulting, insurance carriers, or brokerage environments
• Proven experience leading engagements across:
  • Target Operating Models
  • Business and process transformation
  • Technology-enabled change
  • Data and operational initiatives
• Deep understanding of one or more insurance domains:
  • Underwriting & PAS
  • Claims
  • Distribution & Sales
  • Operations & Shared Services
  • IT & Data transformation
• Demonstrated success in business development and account management
• Confident executive-level communicator and presenter
• Strong people leader with a track record of mentoring and developing teams
• Commercial mindset with appetite to help scale a growing practice

What This Role Is (and Isn’t)

This role is for you if you:

• Want ownership of client relationships and revenue
• Enjoy balancing delivery, leadership, and growth
• Like operating at executive level with real accountability

This role is not for you if you:

• Want a delivery-only or internal role
• Are not interested in practice growth or people leadership

Why Join

• Hybrid and flexible working model
• Senior visibility and influence across the practice
• Opportunity to shape the future of a growing US Insurance business
• Meritocratic culture with clear progression beyond Director
• High-impact client work with leading insurance organisations
