Manager; General Insurance Consulting

Position: Manager (General Insurance Consulting)
If you're an experienced Management Consulting Manager within the insurance sector and like the idea of joining a fast-growing, entrepreneurial consultancy where you'll get genuine exposure, responsibility and opportunity, this could be a very interesting next move. Our client is a highly regarded global financial services consultancy with a growing General Insurance & Specialty practice. The business has grown by approximately 20% year-on-year for each of the last two years, is actively acquiring complementary businesses and has ambitious plans to double in size over the coming years.

Why is this different? If you're currently working within one of the larger consulting firms, you'll recognise some of the work. What may feel very different is the environment in which you'll be doing it. Teams are deliberately smaller, giving Managers greater exposure to senior clients and more responsibility earlier in their careers. The structure is less rigid than the traditional Partner/Director hierarchy found in many larger consultancies, creating an environment where good ideas are heard and ambitious people can make an impact.

It's entrepreneurial, collaborative and growing quickly. If you're someone who enjoys taking ownership rather than simply operating within a large corporate structure, you'll likely feel at home here. That entrepreneurial culture doesn't come at the expense of development. The firm invests heavily in its people through structured corporate training, professional qualifications and ongoing mentoring, with genuine opportunities to develop your career as the business grows.

The role You'll join the London General Insurance & Specialty team, working as part of a much larger global consulting business. As a Manager, you'll lead consulting engagements for major insurers, brokers and other organisations across the insurance market. Projects are varied and strategic and could include areas such as:
Underwriting and distribution strategy Claims transformation Target Operating Model design Business and operational transformation Broking and distribution Technology and data-enabled transformation Process and operating model improvement Cost optimisation and wider strategic change You'll manage project teams, structure and oversee client deliverables, facilitate workshops, manage senior stakeholders and mentor more junior consultants. You'll also be encouraged to think commercially: identifying opportunities, developing client relationships and contributing ideas to the continued growth of the practice.

Who are we looking for? There is one particularly important requirement for this position:
You must already be operating at Manager level within a management consultancy. This isn't intended as a first move into consulting from an insurer, nor is it a step-up opportunity for someone who has only worked internally on change programmes. The client is specifically looking for an experienced consulting Manager who understands how to structure and deliver strategic consulting engagements for clients.

You'll ideally bring:
Strong management consulting experience within General Insurance Current experience operating at Manager level Experience leading consulting projects and managing project teams Exposure to areas such as underwriting, distribution strategy, claims transformation, Target Operating Models or wider insurance transformation Strong client-facing and stakeholder-management skills Experience coaching and developing junior consultants Commercial awareness and an interest in contributing to business development The confidence to operate with senior insurance stakeholders An entrepreneurial mindset and a desire to help build and grow a consulting practice The working…
