About the Opportunity

This is a pivotal leadership role within a newly formed Claims Product Team. The Engineering Delivery Lead will play a critical role in shaping how the team operates, delivers value, and matures as a product-led technology capability.

This is not a traditional “delivery manager” role. We are seeking a leader with the drive, passion and accountability to build, inspire and elevate a team, someone who does not simply manage process, but actively removes obstacles, solves problems, and creates momentum.

As a newly evolving product capability, this role offers the opportunity to define ways of working, embed engineering excellence, expand capability, and establish a high-performing team that delivers measurable value to the business.

The Engineering Delivery Lead will work in close partnership with the Product Owner, Business Analyst(s), and squad leads to shape and execute the Claims roadmap, ensuring delivery is aligned to regulatory priorities, business strategy and technical best practice.

The Engineering Delivery Lead reports directly to the Enterprise Product Manager.

• Partner closely with the Product Manager to balance regulatory demand, technical health, and strategic product evolution.
• Support Business Analysts and SMEs in shaping well-defined, deliverable outcomes.
• Manage intake and demand from multiple business lines into the Claims team.
• Provide clear, transparent reporting on delivery progress, risks, dependencies and outcomes.
• Set and manage stakeholder expectations effectively, especially in high-risk or time-sensitive regulatory scenarios.
