Managing multiple vendors, this is a fast-paced role touching every aspect of the organisation. The ideal candidate will offer significant, hands-on experience of agency management or policy administration platform migrations; ideally including Acturis, though experience with London Market platforms (e.g. DXC, CDL, Applied Epic, Guidewire, SSP) is equally valued.

Training & Enablement
*Design and deliver a comprehensive training programme to equip staff with the knowledge and confidence to operate effectively within the new platform.
Ongoing IT Systems Leadership
*Following the successful Acturis implementation, assume ongoing ownership of the UK business unit’s IT systems landscape, vendor relationships and technology roadmap.
Knowledge, Skills and Abilities:
*Proven track record in a senior IT, technology leadership or programme management role within the insurance sector.
*Substantive, hands-on experience of agency management or policy administration platform migrations; ideally including Acturis, though experience with London Market platforms (e.g. DXC, CDL, Applied Epic, Guidewire, SSP) is equally valued.
*Proven experience managing the full platform migration lifecycle, including data mapping, legacy decommissioning, parallel running, cutover and post-migration stabilisation.
*Demonstrable understanding of financial platform reconciliation within an insurance broking context, including premium accounts, bordereaux, commission statements and insurer settlements.
*Strong project and programme management credentials; a formal qualification (PRINCE2, PMP, MSP or equivalent) is highly desirable.
The ideal candidate:"I’ve delivered complex, organisation-wide platform migrations, managed vendors, communicated with executives, and understand the insurance business well enough that I can comfortably guide partners on building and managing systems for us."
