Senior Project Manager / Program Manager - Insurance Transformation 
12-Month Contract | $1,200 inc Super Per Day | Sydney (Hybrid – Wednesday Essential) CBD
  
A major enterprise insurance organisation is kicking off a critical transformation stream and is seeking a Senior Project Manager verging on Program Manager to lead a core Guidewire delivery team across a high-impact, business-critical program.
  
This role sits within a well-established Technology Delivery function and will drive a complex modernisation of legacy platforms into a modern cloud-based environment. High visibility, strong sponsorship, and a mature governance structure already in place.
  
The Opportunity
You’ll take ownership of a major delivery stream spanning Guidewire (Claims, Billing, Policy) and multiple digital squads. You’ll manage a large internal and partner-led delivery ecosystem (~60 resources) while steering planning, governance, risk, compliance, and delivery cadence.
Perfect for a seasoned Senior PM ready to stretch into broader program leadership.
  
What You’ll Be Leading

• Enterprise-scale Guidewire modernisation across Claims, Billing & Policy
• Migration from legacy platforms to cloud-based architecture
• Leadership of a core Guidewire delivery team + digital squads
• Day-to-day coordination across internal teams and external delivery partners
• Oversight of UAT, environment readiness, RAID, governance, financials & reporting
• Managing delivery cadence, compliance checkpoints and risk controls
• Driving alignment across ~60 resources (BAs, Engineers, Vendors, PMO)
• Ensuring cultural cohesion across internal teams and implementation partners

  
Why This Role Stands Out

• Stable, long-tenured team with strong delivery support
• Backfill due to an internal move — not a project rescue
• Substantial delivery budget (~$20M)
• Strong executive sponsorship & Steering Committee visibility
• Opportunity to step into a Program Manager–level remit
• Hybrid working with an anchor day every Wednesday

  
What They’re Looking For

• Senior PM or emerging Program Manager with Insurance transformation experience
• Background delivering Guidewire, Claims, Policy, Billing, or other enterprise platforms
• Strong vendor and partner leadership — able to manage cultural differences and expectations
• Deep experience with risk, compliance, governance and delivery controls
• Comfortable leading large-scale delivery engines (~60 people)
• Confident engaging senior business, digital, and tech stakeholders
• Human-centred communicator who builds trust quickly
