About the Opportunity
This is a pivotal leadership role within a newly formed Claims Product Team, focused on modernising and evolving the technology capability that supports claims operations.
The Engineering Delivery Lead will combine claims domain knowledge, technical delivery leadership and product-team building. They will play a critical role in shaping how the team operates, delivers value, and matures as a product-led technology capability.
The role will lead delivery across Claims Management System change, integrations, data, automation and AI-enabled initiatives, working closely with Product, Claims Operations, Business Analysis, Engineering, Architecture and Data teams.
This is not a traditional “delivery manager” role. We are seeking a leader with the drive, passion and accountability to build, inspire and elevate a team, someone who does not simply manage process, but actively removes obstacles, solves problems, and creates momentum. This role is not suited to someone whose experience is primarily limited to project coordination, status reporting or agile ceremony management. We are looking for a technically credible delivery leader who can understand the claims domain, challenge solution approaches, work through ambiguity and help build a modern product engineering capability around claims technology.
As a newly evolving product capability, this role offers the opportunity to define ways of working, embed engineering excellence, expand capability, and establish a high-performing team that delivers measurable value to the business. This is an opportunity for someone who wants to build, not simply inherit. The successful candidate will need to be energised by ambiguity, confident creating structure, and motivated by the opportunity to shape the team, its engineering practices and its long-term impact.
A key focus of the Claims Product Team will be the use of automation, data and AI-enabled capabilities to improve claims outcomes, operational efficiency, decision support and colleague experience. The successful candidate will be curious and confident working in this space, able to partner with business and technology teams to identify practical opportunities for automation, and capable of leading delivery in a controlled, secure and responsible way.
The Engineering Delivery Lead will work in close partnership with the Product Owner, Business Analyst(s), and squad leads to shape and execute the Claims roadmap, ensuring delivery is aligned to regulatory priorities, business strategy and technical best practice.
The Engineering Delivery Lead reports directly to the Enterprise Product Manager.
