The Opportunity
We're partnering with a leading global insurance organisation to appoint an experienced Regulatory Project Manager to join its Change function on a 6-month Fixed-Term Contract.
This is an exciting opportunity to deliver a portfolio of high-profile regulatory and compliance initiatives that are critical to the organisation's ongoing transformation agenda. Working closely with senior stakeholders across Compliance, Legal, Risk, Operations and Technology, you'll play a key role in ensuring strategic regulatory programmes are delivered successfully while maintaining strong governance and regulatory compliance.

Working across a broad stakeholder landscape, you'll coordinate business, technology and third-party teams, proactively managing risks, dependencies and regulatory requirements while providing regular updates to programme sponsors and senior leadership.
