Are you someone who thrives on bringing clarity, structure and strategic focus to complex portfolios?

This is a great opportunity for someone with experience in portfolio governance, strategic planning and resource management who is looking to broaden their portfolio management responsibilities. Experience gained within data, analytics, technology, insurance or another regulated environment would be highly beneficial.

You'll play a pivotal role in shaping and managing the Claims Data Science and Advanced Analytics portfolio, ensuring investment, specialist capacity and delivery activity remain aligned to Claims strategy and business priorities. Working across Claims, Data Science, Product, Technology, Finance, Risk and Change, you'll maintain an integrated portfolio roadmap while providing clear oversight of risks, dependencies, funding and resource demand. You'll support senior leaders with insight-driven recommendations on where to accelerate, reshape, pause or stop investment to maximise business value. This is a highly visible role with significant executive engagement and a direct impact on delivering customer, operational and financial outcomes.

Skills and experience we're looking for

Strong portfolio, programme or PMO leadership experience within a complex organisational environment.
Proven experience managing portfolio governance, prioritisation, resource forecasting and executive reporting.
Ability to track costs, benefits and value realisation, supporting evidence-based investment decisions.
Experience managing cross-functional stakeholders and navigating competing priorities across multiple initiatives.
Knowledge of data, analytics, AI/ML, technology delivery or a regulated industry such as insurance or financial services would be advantageous.
