Underwriting Transformation/Product Consultant

Summary: The Underwriting Transformation/Product Consultant role involves collaborating with global underwriting teams to drive a significant transformation program for a major insurer.

• Influence priorities, manage expectations, and help steer decision making across a complex stakeholder landscape
• Support delivery by getting hands on where needed - including requirements gathering, analysis, and articulation - rather than operating purely at steering committee level

Key Skills:

• Experience in underwriting transformation or product consultancy
• Strong understanding of underwriting processes and requirements
