The end client has experienced substantial growth over a number of years, including through acquisition, resulting in a complex group structure spanning multiple businesses, legal entities and operating models. As the organisation continues to evolve, there is now a significant programme underway to simplify and consolidate various areas of the group, including legal entity rationalisation and closure, alongside the operational integration required to achieve this successfully. We are looking for an experienced Programme Lead / Senior Project Manager who combines strong insurance operations knowledge, M&A integration experience and Legal Entity Rationalisation expertise.
