Interim Head of Finance Portfolio Delivery - Insurance/IT & Change/Finance Change - 12 month FTC

Our client, a leading specialty insurance organisation, is seeking a Head of Finance Portfolio to Delivery initially on an FTC basis. This is a strategic leadership role, reshaped to focus on delivery of discreet, high-impact change initiatives rather than large-scale transformation. Reporting directly to the Group CFO, the successful candidate will lead the Finance Change team, driving IT, business, and process change across Finance and interfacing with Group Change. This is a broad, high-touch role requiring a seasoned portfolio leader with deep insurance sector knowledge and a strong finance background (ideally ACCA/CIMA qualified or equivalent). You'll manage 4 direct reports and Matrix-lead a wider team of 20+, championing delivery while empowering your team to grow.

You'll thrive in this role if you bring:
  • Extensive leadership experience as a Head of Portfolio Delivery, specifically within finance change environments
  • A solid financial background, supported by recognised accounting qualifications such as ACCA, CIMA, or equivalent
  • Comprehensive insurance industry expertise, built across a diverse and progressive career
  • A proven ability to deliver across a broad spectrum of change initiatives, including people, process, and IT transformation
  • Exceptional communication skills, with confidence engaging senior stakeholders from C-suite executives to delivery and technical teams
  • A strong commitment to championing change, with a clear focus on driving outcomes and delivering value

This position is offered as a 12-month fixed-term contract, with the potential to transition into a permanent role thereafter. The successful candidate will be expected to work onsite in the London office a minimum of three days per week, with a preference for increased in-person presence to support collaboration and effective delivery. Offices are based in London, and successful candidates should ideally be able to start within 4 weeks. Our processing and use of your personal data is in accordance with our Privacy Notice, available on our website.

We know that the most successful teams have a diversity of background, experience and approach. When we recruit, we welcome the unique contributions you can bring thanks to your sex, ethnicity, race, gender identity, nationality, age, disability and beliefs.
