Change Lead for an AI-powered delivery transformation - Freelance
Job description
The opportunity
A leading PE-backed UK insurtech is changing how its insurance products are built. Its AI and automation initiatives cover agentic specification writing, configuration-as-code deployment and automated testing. The goal is to cut product build time by 50%. The first modules are already live, and your job is to make sure 300+ engineers and business analysts actually adopt them.
What you'll do
-
Strengthen and run the rollout plan: deployment approach, training, support model and target operating model
-
Lead change on the ground: find out why adoption stalls, clear the blockers, and make the new workflows easy to understand and use
-
Map the target workflows against today's ways of working
-
Build the adoption dashboards and report on impact every month
Practicalities
5–6 months · 4–5 days/week · start early November 2026 at the latest · London, regular on-site presence · English-speaking environment
Requirements
Who we're looking for
-
8+ years leading change or transformation in tech or software organisations of 200+ people, ideally a former consultant (strategy, digital or transformation firm) at Engagement Manager level
-
A proven record of rolling out a new tool or process at scale, with measurable results
-
Hands-on familiarity with AI-assisted development and the software lifecycle (requirements → build → test → deploy)
-
A doer, not just a planner: you build the dashboards yourself and earn the trust of team leads without formal authority
-
Insurtech or SaaS implementation experience is a plus
If interested, please note that candidate should be based in the UK. (Mission based in London).
