The role

This is an opportunity to join a globally operating InsurTech company reshaping the way insurance and protection products are distributed worldwide. The organisation works at the intersection of technology and financial services, partnering with leading telcos, retailers, and banks to power embedded insurance solutions across multiple markets.

As Project Manager, you will own end-to-end delivery of client-facing and internal transformation projects - operating across time zones, stakeholder layers, and functional teams. This is a high-visibility role for a driven, structured professional who thrives in fast-moving, cross-functional environments.

You will be embedded within a delivery-focused team managing a portfolio of concurrent projects spanning product integration, client onboarding, and internal process improvement. Projects are typically cross-country in scope and involve collaboration with external clients, technology partners, and internal lines of business.

Delivering client-focused and internal projects on scope, time, and budget
Leading project initiation - drafting Project Charters, RACI matrices, and facilitating kick-off sessions
Running discovery sessions with clients and partners to validate requirements and acceptance criteria
Building and managing detailed project plans, critical path analysis, and risk registers
Structuring governance and controls aligned with the organisation's project management framework
Chairing Project Steering Committees, stand-ups, and cross-functional checkpoint meetings
Identifying, prioritising, and escalating risks and issues in a timely manner
Managing scope, schedule, and budget changes through formal change control
Coordinating resources across departments and reporting on project performance to senior stakeholders
Producing regular status reports and maintaining complete, auditable project documentation
Leading retrospectives and formal project closure activities
