job details

In this position, you will translate commercial priorities into practical innovation and AI strategies tailored to the evolving financial services landscape. Beyond strategy design, you will be heavily involved in the human side of tech adoption - driving end-to-end business transformation, executing robust change management frameworks, and proactively addressing user resistance to ensure smooth, long-term adoption of new capabilities across the region.

about the job

Strategic Business Partnership & Problem Framing: Act as a dedicated partner to regional financial and insurance stakeholders to understand local business priorities. Guide teams from initial problem framing through to solution design, delivering AI and innovation initiatives focused on measurable customer and business results.
AI Strategy & Trend Execution: Support the Innovation Lead in shaping and executing AI-driven transformation strategies that align with prevailing financial market conditions, emerging technologies, and the rapidly changing enterprise AI landscape (including AI agents).
Cross-Functional Collaboration & PMO: Collaborate closely with regional planning teams and cross-functional groups to ensure seamless project implementation. Run or support PMO functions, including project planning, status reporting, resource coordination, and the swift resolution of delivery risks or issues.
Commercial Justification & Executive Buy-In: Develop comprehensive business justification papers and financial models to help local Group Companies secure senior management endorsement, funding, and approval.
Tool-Agnostic Solutioning: Evaluate emerging technologies and platforms with a strictly tool-agnostic mindset, ensuring that chosen solutions directly serve insurance and business outcomes rather than technology for its own sake.
Scalability & Knowledge Sharing: Engage local markets to ensure all initiatives are practical, scalable, and tailored to local priorities. Develop regional playbooks, toolkits, and learning resources, while actively promoting success stories to accelerate AI maturity across the region.

skills and experience required

A Bachelor’s degree (or equivalent) with 5+ years of relevant experience spanning business transformation, innovation, management consulting, or corporate strategy.
A strong background within the insurance or financial services sector is highly preferred.
A solid conceptual understanding of enterprise AI applications, digital workflows, and AI agents. Note: Deep technical coding skills are not required, but the ability to converse fluently with both developers and business leaders is essential.
Exceptional communication skills with a proven track record of influencing senior leadership and driving consensus across diverse regional functions.
A highly driven self-starter who thrives in ambiguity, possesses strong structured thinking capabilities, and maintains a distinct bias for action.
