At Covéa Insurance, we’re all about protecting what matters most - whether it’s your home, your car, or your business. With our award-winning customer service and a wide range of insurance products, we’re here to make a real difference. Our purpose is simple but powerful: to help protect people against the worst happening and put it right if it does. It’s what drives us every day, and it’s why our people are proud to be part of something meaningful!

Our mission is to build inclusive, empowered teams where everyone feels welcome and valued! We celebrate what makes each of us unique and believe that diversity drives innovation and success. Whoever you are, we want you to feel confident being yourself in your team at work.

In this role, you’ll be working in a team that is instrumental in driving Covéa Insurance’s strategic and operational success through technology. We lead the delivery of technical change that fuels business growth and operational resilience, and we manage the implementation of strategic, BAU, and regulatory initiatives to support the company’s long-term vision. Through structured planning, governance, and execution, we maintain a diverse portfolio of IT projects - from large-scale transformation programmes to incremental enhancements - ensuring our systems remain secure, scalable, and aligned with evolving business needs. Step into a role where your potential is valued and your growth is supported.

What are the core responsibilities?

• Align project execution with business goals and technical standards to drive strategic outcomes and operational resilience.

Do you have what it takes?

• Deliver complex, large-scale IT transformation projects with a focus on infrastructure, connectivity, and security.
• Apply structured project management frameworks to drive disciplined execution in regulated environments.
• Demonstrate strong commercial acumen through budget ownership, cost control, and performance reporting.
• Lead with resilience, motivating cross-functional teams and fostering accountability and continuous improvement.
• Communicate effectively across technical and non-technical audiences, proactively managing stakeholders and risks.
• Hold recognised project management certifications (e.g. PRINCE2 Practitioner, MSP, PMP, CAPM) and technical credentials (e.g. ITIL, CompTIA, Microsoft, Cisco, AWS); educated to A-level or higher in a relevant field.
