Hanover are looking to connect with senior, commercial, insurance professionals on behalf of our client who is building out a new business.
The ideal candidate would have a background in life insurance (other industries/sectors are additive), and would be comfortable operating at a senior level, including doing business development (imperative) for the new venture.
Although it would be optimal to have gained a commercial skillset in consulting, if a candidate can evidence strong stakeholder influence and buy-in from senior leadership in a large organisation (Insurance/Asset Management/Technology) this could be considered too.
This candidate must have knowledge of the UK landscape. EU/EMEA/International knowledge would be additive.

* Transformation & Strategy: Experience in developing and implementing transformation strategies within insurance (life ideally), driving efficiency and operational effectiveness.
* Technology Proficiency: Appropriate technological proficiency, e.g., in Prophet and/or Oracle and/or AWS and/or Tableau.
