Project Manager

Global Specialty Insurance / Financial Services

Location: London / Hybrid

Salary: £50,000 - £60,000 plus 20% bonus and benefits


Pioneer Search is working with a leading global specialty insurance business on the appointment of a Project Manager within a high performing Change Delivery function.

This is a rare opportunity for someone with strong foundations to join an internal team delivering business and technology change across an international insurance group.

The organisation is looking for someone with the right grounding, attitude, and aptitude: someone who has worked in consulting, project delivery, technology implementation, business change, or insurance change, and now wants to build a long-term career inside a global business.

The Opportunity

You will be joining a high-performing team that is willing to invest in your development. You will receive support, training, and exposure to experienced change leaders, while working on projects that matter to the business.

The role offers exposure to senior stakeholders, including C-suite level, and will suit someone who is confident with people, comfortable working through ambiguity, and keen to develop quickly in a complex environment.

Projects may cover areas such as business change, technology-enabled change, operational improvement, process change, product launches, new distribution channels, acquisitions, and wider strategic initiatives.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
