Description

Job Type:

Fixed Term

Build a brilliant future with Hiscox

Please note this role is for a 12 month maternity cover

The Team:

The Hiscox UK Change Team is the bridge between the business and the technology teams, ensuring that technology change is prioritised, defined, broken down and delivered in a way that enables the business to achieve its strategic goals, whilst also enabling the technology strategy. This means understanding the end-to-end context of the change, and having a laser-focus on value so that we can ensure both that we're doing the right things, and doing the things right. As such, we are looking for exemplary collaborators; people who thrive on building relationships, who aren't afraid to challenge how things are done, and are capable of driving consensus and guiding people through every stage of the change journey, from idea to reality.

The role

The main responsibility of this role is project management of change projects for the UK business. This involves assuming the project leadership role and overall responsibility for taking a project from an original concept through the final delivery. This role requires a proactive approach to collaborating with and managing internal and external stakeholders ensuring delivery is achieved by the most effective and efficient means.

The project portfolio varies based upon the needs of the UK business but has a heavy focus on delivery of change to IT systems. Accordingly, you must have a proven track record of delivering projects with significant technology dependencies.

What you'll be doing

Lead project management activities including benefit identification, plan management, tracking and reporting of delivery progress; identification, evaluation and resolution of risks, issues, dependencies; tracking, development and assurance of initiative deliverables

Define resource plans and work closely with internal teams, stakeholders and vendors to manage the day-to-day and full end-to-end project delivery activities

Manage project scope to ensure commitments are achieved within agreed time, cost and quality parameters

Define and track project milestones and ensure dependencies are understood and accepted by the relevant owners

Remove barriers and lead resolution of issues/problems to enable teams to achieve the objectives

Oversee the agreed budget and ensure tracking and measurement of costs as well as reporting on benefits

Ensure projects adhere to the Hiscox Change Delivery Framework and foster project transparency as well as accurate and timely reports on project status, schedule and costs to the Portfolio Manager and PMO

Manage projects across the entire UK change portfolio which may require managing multiple projects simultaneously and/or managing a series of dependent projects

Provide support and input into the portfolio planning process by engaging in pre-project sizing, skillset and dependency mapping

Build strong productive relationships within the business, the change team and with third parties in order to deliver effective solutions.

Our must haves

More than 5 years Project Management experience and a track record of successfully delivering projects with significant technology dependency

Excellent stakeholder, conflict and influence management skills.

Excellent written and verbal communication skills, capable of working with people at all levels within and external to the business

Experience with both Waterfall and Agile methodologies

Proven experience and understanding of software delivery lifecycle

Intellect and gravitas to influence and gain credibility with business personnel and management

Be creative, proactive, logical and innovative and will not just accept the status quo

Our nice to haves

Experience of: working in the insurance industry management of small to medium sized programmes system integration implementation

Diversity and flexible working at Hiscox

At Hiscox we care about our people. We hire the best people for the job and we're committed to diversity and creating a truly inclusive culture, which we believe drives success.
