Transformation Project Analyst | London, UK

Transformation Project Analyst

Role purpose

Our client, a leading Lloyd's insurance broker, is growing its Transformation & Portfolio Management team and looking for a Project/PMO Analyst to join them. If you're 2-3 years into a career in project coordination, PMO, or business analysis - ideally within insurance or financial services - and you're ready for a step up, we'd love to hear from you.

The role of the Transformation Project Analyst is to support the effective delivery of transformation initiatives by providing project coordination, reporting, governance and administrative support across the portfolio.

The role will help ensure projects are properly planned, monitored and controlled, and that agreed processes, tools, templates and frameworks are applied consistently to support successful project and change delivery.

About the team

The team looks after a portfolio of ~12-15 projects sponsored directly by the Group Executive, spanning M&A integration, revenue-generating initiatives, regulatory change, target operating model work, and an organisation-wide HR system rollout. They're also building out their change management capability, embedding an ADKAR-based approach across projects, and developing their portfolio management maturity.

It's a friendly, collaborative team with a real mix of personalities - weekly team meetings, an active Teams channel, and regular informal catch-ups. The team is highly visible across the business, with strong sponsorship from senior leadership, and change management is a growing priority for the organisation.

Key role responsibilities

You'll primarily support the M&A integration work and the UK Operations Target Operating Model workstream, working closely with the wider team day to day. This includes:

• RAID log management and project status reporting
• Governance support - scheduling working groups and steering committees, tracking and following up on actions
• Process mapping and analysis
• Investigating queries, identifying the right stakeholders, and progressing actions to resolution
• General best-practice project support, from meeting minutes to documentation

This is a team-based role rather than solo project ownership - you'll be trusted to work independently, with plenty of support around you, and a genuine path to grow into project management or portfolio/PMO management as your experience builds.

Who we're looking for

• Around 2-3 years' experience in project coordination, PMO, or business analysis
• Insurance or wider financial services background highgly preferred - you'll understand regulatory environments and good project governance
• Strong Excel skills, including pivot tables; PowerPoint proficiency; Power BI experience a bonus
• Curious, analytical, and proactive - comfortable digging into a problem and finding the right people to help solve it
• Great interpersonal skills - a good listener, personable, and confident engaging with stakeholders across the business
