The Delivery Manager Role
As we continue our mission to be the market‑leading underwriting software platform for agile insurers, we’re excited to expand our UK team with the addition of a Delivery Manager.
In this role, you’ll be responsible for managing the successful delivery of our SaaS underwriting workbench to customers across the UK. From project kick‑off through to go‑live and handover, you’ll coordinate cross‑functional teams, track milestones, and ensure projects are delivered on time, on budget, and to a high standard.
You’ll work closely with our clients and internal stakeholders – including product, engineering, and customer success – to ensure alignment, manage expectations, and keep delivery on track. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in fast‑paced, dynamic environments and enjoys solving complex delivery challenges.
If you’re an experienced Delivery Manager or Project Manager with a background in SaaS, consulting, or enterprise software delivery – and you’re excited about making an impact in a growing insurtech business – we’d love to hear from you.
