The Opportunity

Our Insurance Business Transformation team helps our clients make more informed decisions on how to optimise their businesses, drive growth and efficiency and improve their customer journeys.

Aligned with these technical skills you’ll also have the natural curiosity and ability to understand and navigate complex processes and ambiguous client requirements, combined with a desire to initiate and effect continual improvement. Additionally, you’ll also have excellent communication skills with the ability to present ideas and findings in a clear and concise manner to a wide range of stakeholders.

To qualify for the role you must have

• An understanding of how current operational and business challenges are affecting Insurers, Brokers and other market participants within the industry
• Operational improvement experience – Experience in the design and development of new operating models, process and efficiency improvements
• Business Transformation experience – Experience of end-to-end business driven change through the full lifecycle (discovery, business requirements definition, design and implementation) along with an understanding of the digitisation journey many clients are currently undertaking
• A demonstrable understanding of the UK Life Insurance or Pensions and Investment markets, commercial dynamics and change levers
• Excellent client stakeholder management skills and ability to build relationships

Ideally, you’ll also have

• A team player attitude; you openly support, encourage and share knowledge with colleagues
• The ability to coach and mentor junior colleagues and provide on-the-job training
• Commitment to actively engaging with our D&I agenda and championing social purpose-driven change
• A strong interest and commitment to developing and delivering leading edge solutions to insurance industry clients
• The ambition to build / develop a career in advising clients around operational improvement and revenue enhancement at EY
• A willingness to contribute towards the development of our internal team
