3. Insurance Operations Portfolio
Core Focus Areas: Driving core operational change, including claims systems updates, policy administration (PAS) overhauls, and process optimization across the insurance lifecycle.
Required Profile
Proven experience as a Portfolio Manager or Senior Programme Manager, specifically within the Insurance or wider regulated Financial Services sector.
Demonstrable track record of leading delivery in a hands-on capacity (not purely governance).
Expertise aligned to one of the three portfolios listed above (Digital, Data, or Operations).
