Head of Operations – Insurance
A growing specialty insurance business is seeking a Head of Operations to join the organisation at a key stage of its expansion.
This is a hands-on leadership role within a lean, build-stage environment. The successful candidate will be responsible for putting structure, processes, and governance in place while remaining closely involved in the day-to-day running of the business.
This role will suit someone who enjoys building rather than inheriting, and who is comfortable operating without a large team initially.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead and develop the operational function across the business
- Design, implement, and improve operational processes and controls
- Ensure the business operates efficiently within a regulated insurance environment
- Work closely with senior stakeholders across underwriting, finance, compliance, and technology
- Oversee supplier, vendor, and outsourcing relationships
- Support contract management and operational governance frameworks
- Partner with technology leadership to improve systems, data, and operational infrastructure
- Contribute to business planning, budgeting, and growth initiatives
- Ensure operational readiness as the business scales in the UK and internationally
About You
- Significant experience in an operational leadership role within insurance (MGA, broker, or carrier)
- Comfortable working in a small, growing organisation
- Able to balance strategic thinking with hands-on delivery
- Strong understanding of operating within a regulated environment
- Confident engaging with senior stakeholders and external parties
- Experience building or transforming operational functions is highly desirable
Why Join?
- Opportunity to shape an operations function from the ground up
- Visible role with genuine influence on how the business operates
- Supportive, entrepreneurial leadership team
- Scope to build and grow a team over time
