Are you an experienced Programme Manager with a passion for leading large-scale transformation initiatives? Are you ready to drive a game-changing cloud migration that will redefine how a global insurance leader operates? If you thrive in high-stakes, complex environments and are eager to make a lasting impact, this could be your next big career move.

Lead the Cloud Revolution

Our Client - a leading multinational insurance company - is embarking on a massive migration journey from on-premises infrastructure to AWS cloud. As our Programme Manager, you will be at the helm of this pivotal initiative, ensuring seamless execution while navigating the complexities of our global business.

You'll oversee every aspect of this transformative programme, from strategic planning to delivery execution, while managing diverse teams, budgets, and stakeholder expectations. This is more than just a migration - this is the future of our technology landscape, and we're looking for a leader who's ready to make it happen.


What You'll Be Driving:

  • End-to-End Cloud Migration: Lead the design, migration, and implementation of AWS cloud solutions for critical business operations.
  • Stakeholder Management: Partner with cross-functional teams, particularly Finance and Actuarial stakeholders, to address unique business needs and overcome challenges.
  • Complex Budget Oversight: Manage a multi-million-dollar programme budget, ensuring accountability, transparency, and alignment with strategic objectives.
  • Resource Leadership: Build and inspire high-performing teams across IT, business units, and vendor partners.
  • Risk & Change Management: Navigate risks and interdependencies to deliver the programme on time, within scope, and to the highest standard.

What We're Looking For:

We need a trailblazer with the expertise and resilience to thrive in complexity. Here's what you'll bring to the table:



Essential Skills & Experience:

  • Proven Cloud Migration Expertise: A track record of successfully managing large-scale cloud migration programmes, ideally transitioning from on-premises to AWS.
  • Stakeholder Whisperer: Exceptional ability to manage and influence challenging stakeholders, especially within Finance and Actuarial teams.
  • Programme Management Mastery: Demonstrable experience managing multi-million-dollar budgets, resources, and timelines across complex, global organisations.
  • Leadership in Ambiguity: A calm, decisive leader who thrives in fast-paced environments with competing priorities.


Bonus Points:

  • Experience in the insurance or financial services sectors.
  • Familiarity with regulatory requirements related to cloud adoption in finance/insurance industries.
  • Certifications such as AWS Certified Solutions Architect, PMP, or PgMP.
