About the role
- This is a fantastic opportunity to work on the delivery of innovative software products that are at the forefront of technology in the retail insurance sector. The Senior Project Manager works on a single large programme of work or multiple projects being delivered to our external or internal customers.

- You will manage the delivery of the projects through the full project lifecycle for which the duration might be a few months to over a year for larger programmes of work.
- A key measure of our success is the ability to deliver to an agreed go live date so the Senior Project Manager will be expected to employ their experience and expertise to be able to achieve those dates whilst not compromising quality or exceeding agreed budgets.
