Senior Technology Project Manager - General Insurance
2 Positions 7-Month Contract Sydney

Advance Thinking is seeking two experienced Senior Technology Project Managers to join a major transformation program within a leading General Insurance organisation.
These are senior, hands-on technology delivery roles supporting the migration of insurance products, policies and technology from legacy environments onto a strategic cloud-based insurance platform.
One Project Manager will align primarily to a broker transformation stream, while the other will support an insurance product and business package migration stream.
The Opportunity
You will operate at the intersection of technology, insurance, business and external delivery partners, taking accountability for complex technology outcomes from discovery and mobilisation through to delivery.
This is not simply a governance role. We're looking for experienced technology delivery professionals who understand the complexities of data, policy and platform migration, while being able to translate effectively between technology and business stakeholders.
Key Responsibilities

• Lead complex insurance technology projects
• Drive discovery, mobilisation and delivery
• Manage technology, data and policy/product migration activities
• Develop and manage integrated delivery plans
• Manage risks, issues, dependencies and project financials
• Coordinate large multidisciplinary delivery teams
• Work closely with external technology and delivery partners
• Translate between business requirements and technology teams
• Establish strong project governance and reporting
• Build trusted relationships with senior business and technology stakeholders
• Ensure vendor-delivered outcomes integrate successfully into the broader program
• Drive delivery through ambiguity within an early-stage transformation environment

What We're Looking For
We are particularly interested in candidates with:

• Significant Senior Technology Project Management experience
• General Insurance experience strongly preferred
• Experience delivering complex insurance technology transformation
• Strong understanding of data, policy and/or product migration
• Experience delivering major platform transformation
• Strong business and technology stakeholder management
• Vendor and third-party delivery experience
• Strong governance, risk and financial management
• Excellent senior stakeholder communication
• Guidewire experience highly regarded
• Broker or commercial insurance experience advantageous

The ideal candidate will combine strong technology delivery capability with a genuine understanding of insurance, rather than operating solely at a governance or coordination level.
