This role likely qualifies for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 1258 (85% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £70,100, and WTW is a licensed sponsor. That is our reading of the rules. Whether they issue a Certificate of Sponsorship is still their call.
This could also be SOC 1137 (Information technology directors, IT consultancy director role with technology programme focus) or SOC 2431 (Management consultants and business analysts, Consulting work advising on business transformation programmes). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
About the role
Description
We are seeking an accomplished Transformation Director to join our Insurance Technology Consulting practice and play a pivotal role in shaping, selling, and delivering technology-enabled business transformations for insurance clients.
This is a leadership role at the intersection of insurance domain expertise, technology programme delivery, and business development. The successful candidate is a technologist at heart who has grown into a trusted transformation leader. They can credibly shape a proposition, win the work in front of a C-suite audience, stand up a complex programme, and stay close enough to delivery to keep it on track.
You will help insurers set up and deliver transformation programmes across the value chain, from core platform modernisation to data and digital transformation, spanning Underwriting, Claims, Pricing, Reserving, Capital Modelling, and Risk & Finance.
This is a UK-based role with a global remit, supporting client engagements, proposition development, and delivery initiatives across multiple geographies.
This is an ideal opportunity for a senior consulting or industry professional who has set up and run large technology programmes end-to-end, across the full lifecycle from proposition and sale to delivery.
