Senior Project Manager - Insurance Re-platforming

Outside IR35 Manchester (Hybrid) Immediate Start

We are seeking an experienced Senior Project Manager to lead a major re-platforming programme for a significant insurance business. The programme will deliver the migration to a new Policy Administration System, covering both operational process transformation and enabling technology. This is a business-focused change leadership role, requiring end-to-end ownership of a complex transformation rather than a purely technical or IT delivery remit.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the full lifecycle delivery of a large-scale re-platforming programme within an insurance environment
• Own end-to-end change management, including business readiness, operational transformation, and benefits realisation
• Manage and coordinate multiple substantive technology and business workstreams
• Engage and influence senior stakeholders up to Operations and Commercial Director level
• Ensure alignment with agreed portfolio objectives and governance frameworks

Required Experience

• Proven experience as a Senior Project Manager delivering complex, end-to-end business change programmes
• Strong business change background, with the ability to manage significant technology components (not a technical PM role)
• Excellent senior stakeholder management and communication skills
• Experience within Insurance essential
• Re-platforming experience strongly preferred, particularly involving Policy Administration Systems (CDL Strata experience advantageous)

Contract Details

• Outside IR35
• Immediate start, with interviews planned for next week
• Hybrid working: Manchester office 2-3 days per week preferred
