The Opportunity
QBE Europe is recruiting a Change Adoption Lead to join the EO Data & AI function and help embed the Data & AI strategy into everyday ways of working across the organisation.
The role focuses on data‑related change that sits outside funded transformation - including BAU process improvements, non‑funded initiatives, and the ongoing onboarding and effective use of existing data and analytics platforms. The Change Adoption Lead would work closely with the Business Change practice, which leads on change adoption for data initiatives funded through the central transformation portfolio.
Sitting within the Data Strategy & Operations capability, the Data Adoption Lead plays a critical role in sustaining momentum between data change initiatives and BAU initiatives over time. You will connect change activity across EO into a clear, coherent narrative that shows how the data strategy is being implemented in practice, reinforces consistent data ways of working, and supports lasting adoption beyond individual project lifecycles.
Having the right to work in the UK is a requirement for this role. QBE may consider sponsorship at its discretion.
About QBE

What if you could have a positive impact – at work and in the world? As part of the QBE team, you’ll get to spend every day working with people who are passionate, talented and kind.
Your New Role
Lead and coordinate adoption activity for the EO Data & AI estate outside of funded transformation programmes, ensuring continued uptake, effective use and long‑term value from existing data platforms and products. Own and maintain a clear, joined‑up adoption narrative that connects BAU change, platform evolution and transformation initiatives, reinforcing how they collectively deliver the Data & AI strategy. Create and deliver clear, compelling communications (updates, showcases and success stories) aligned to the Data & AI strategy, value-stream priorities and key milestones. Partner closely with Business Change Managers (BCMs) on funded initiatives to align messaging, timing and adoption approaches, ensuring a seamless transition from project delivery into BAU adoption. Work closely with Data Delivery Managers and key stakeholders to anticipate change impacts and align adoption activity across the data landscape. Translate complex, technical data concepts into practical, audience-specific messages that enable confident decisions and day-to-day use. Design and coordinate enablement approaches for data and analytics capabilities, including onboarding to platforms, reinforcement of data quality practices and adoption of data‑led ways of working. Build and maintain stakeholder networks across EO, including leaders, subject-matter experts and change champions, to increase reach, improve feedback loops and accelerate adoption. Define and track adoption measures and insights (engagement, usage, feedback) to evidence outcomes and continuously improve adoption approaches. Identify adoption risks across BAU and non‑funded change and recommend pragmatic mitigation actions.
