Location: Hybrid (London)
Sector: Consulting - Insurance, Data & AI Architecture
Employment Type: Permanent

Shape the data foundations powering next‑generation insurance

The insurance sector is rapidly evolving, and consultancies are at the forefront-helping clients modernise legacy ecosystems, embrace decentralised data models, and build domain‑driven data products that unlock analytics, automation and AI.

As a Senior Manager in our consulting practice, you will lead the design of strategic, business‑focused data models for major insurers. Your work will define the structures, standards and architectures that enable transformation across underwriting, pricing, claims, finance and risk.

This is a role for a technical leader who understands both the insurance domain and the broader consulting landscape-someone who brings clarity to complexity, influences senior decision-makers, and drives delivery through diverse, multi‑disciplinary teams.

What you'll be doing

* Drive data design for large-scale insurance programmes, from conceptual modelling through logical/physical layers, tied directly to business priorities.
* Develop a unified language for data-dictionaries, vocabularies, taxonomies and ontologies that allow teams to interpret data consistently.
* Shape data and analytics architectures collaboratively with solution and enterprise architects.
* Act as a trusted advisor to senior stakeholders, helping them navigate design choices and achieve measurable business outcomes.
* Build strategic roadmaps for Data & AI capabilities, supporting predictive analytics, BI, AI/ML and GenAI.
* Lead workshops to capture requirements, validate design decisions and align business/technology stakeholders.
* Manage teams across consulting disciplines, fostering an inclusive and supportive culture while developing emerging talent.
* Contribute to consulting growth: support pre‑sales, RFI/RFP responses, proposals and thought leadership.
* Establish governance and design authorities, ensuring the right controls, patterns and principles are followed.
* Oversee delivery of one or more workstreams, ensuring commercial success and high-quality client outcomes.

What you'll bring (Essential)

* Consulting experience, including client-facing delivery, stakeholder engagement and pre‑sales support.
* Expertise in the Insurance sector, ideally in one or more: Underwriting, Pricing, Claims, Risk, Finance, or Asset/Investment Management.
* Strong stakeholder management, including working closely with executive‑level or C‑suite audiences.
* Hands-on data modelling capability across conceptual, logical and physical layers.
* Deep understanding of data management-data quality, MDM, reference data, metadata, governance and analytics/BI.
* Experience defining architecture patterns and applying structured methodologies.
* Proven ability to document and standardise data semantics, including taxonomies and vocabularies.
* Experience collaborating with Business and IT, translating objectives into actionable designs and roadmaps.
* Workshop leadership, including requirements gathering and model review sessions.
* Experience partnering with enterprise/solution/data architects across business units or regions.
* Consulting resilience-thriving in fast-paced project environments.
* Go-to-market experience, including RFP responses and proposal development.
* Commitment to an inclusive team environment where people are recognised and supported.

Desired

* TOGAF or equivalent architecture certification.
* Certifications/exposure to Microsoft Fabric, Databricks, Snowflake, or similar enterprise data platforms.
* Experience with Data Mesh or domain-oriented data product operating models.
* Familiarity with governance platforms: Collibra, Informatica, etc.
* Experience working with global/offshore teams.
* Understanding of GDPR, IFRS 17, Solvency II or other regulatory frameworks.
* Experience setting up and running design authorities.
* Exposure to both waterfall and agile environments.

What's on offer

* £90,000 - £110,000 base salary + bonus + benefits.
* Hybrid working in London, with client-site engagement as needed.
* A career in a consultancy that values impact, integrity, inclusion, collaboration and leadership.
* Opportunities to shape solutions across some of the most complex and impactful data transformations in the UK insurance market.
