Role Purpose

The Data Team sits at the centre of a significant period of change. Following Starr’s acquisition of the IQUW syndicate, an integration programme is under way to bring IT, Data and Underwriting infrastructure together across the combined business, running alongside the continued build-out of the DNA Hub Data Lakehouse into business functions. The Data Project Manager role is the delivery backbone of that work: it owns the project management office for a portfolio of circa 20 projects spanning both, sets the delivery standards and governance the Data Team works to, and gives leadership a single, trusted view of portfolio health. The role is accountable for the quality and consistency of delivery across the portfolio as well as individual projects, and works closely with the Head of Data Engineering and Delivery, the Chief Data and Digital Officer, delivery and project managers, and business stakeholders across Underwriting, Claims, Finance and Central MI.

- Exciting Opportunity: Join Starr at a pivotal point – a multi-year Data & Analytics transformation running alongside the integration of the recently acquired IQUW syndicate, using modern cloud technologies to build a market-leading Data Team and a cloud-enabled Data Lakehouse that supports the current and future data needs of the combined business.

- Portfolio Oversight: Run the project management office for a portfolio of circa 20 projects, covering integration workstreams and the continued build-out of the DNA Hub into business functions across the business.

- Centre of Excellence: Provide the strategic oversight, standards and best practice that make delivery consistent and predictable across the whole Data portfolio.

- Governance and Transparency: Own portfolio reporting, governance forums and risk management so that project health, dependencies and benefits are visible and decisions are made on sound information.

- Strategic Alignment: Work with the Head of Data Engineering and Delivery and the Chief Data and Digital Officer to keep the portfolio aligned to strategic objectives and delivering measurable business value.
