- Partner directly with senior leaders across Claims, Technology, Digital and Data, influencing strategic priorities and playing a key role in shaping the future direction of the function.
- Deliver transformation that creates genuine, measurable impact, from improving operational performance and reducing cost, to enhancing customer journeys and service delivery.
- Champion lasting change across the business, ensuring new ways of working are embedded successfully and teams are empowered to embrace transformation with confidence.
- Lead and influence a broad network of stakeholders, suppliers and delivery partners, creating strong collaboration and ensuring programmes are delivered at pace and with quality.
- Inspire and energise teams through periods of significant change, creating a culture of accountability, innovation and continuous improvement within a highly visible transformation environment.
