Company Overview

I am extremely proud to be partnering with a forward‑thinking insurance group that is scaling fast and putting technology at the heart of its growth. This is a rare opportunity to join a business where your strategic vision and hands‑on IT expertise will directly shape the future of tech across the organisation and the wider group.

This is a hybrid role — part strategic, part hands‑on — ideal for someone who thrives in agile, fast‑paced environments. You will attend senior leadership team meetings once a week in London and will attend other London‑based team days as required. You will be comfortable discussing strategy with the SLT one day, then delving into the tech with the IT team and third parties the next day.
