Descrição
Job Type:
Permanent Build a brilliant future with Hiscox
About Us
HISCOX is an international insurer specialized in the market of luxury goods & property, and high-end professional insurance. As experts in risk we give people and businesses the confidence to realise their ambitions. With offices in 9 European countries we have a very international staff and encourage a culture that fosters inclusion and collaboration, offering exciting opportunities for personal and professional growth.
In our Lisbon office we have the privilege of employing approximately 500 exceptional professionals representing 29 diverse nationalities. Despite our central location within the city, we recognize the importance of maintaining a healthy work-life balance. As part of our commitment to our employees' well-being, we provide a 35-hour workweek along with the option for a hybrid working schedule.
The Role
Hiscox Europe is currently in the middle of a large-scale transformation programme focusing on the replacement of most of the technological backbone, with a new core system at its centre. The programme, called Leap, kicked off in the beginning of 2020 and has, since then, delivered multiple components in a phased, by country, approach.
The Programme Director role reports directly into the European COO and will oversee the entire programme, acting as the main responsible for the day-to-day operations and delivery of the Programme vision and objectives, in line with the defined roadmap and budget. For this the Programme Director will work with multiple PMs and a PMO team to coordinate a large team of 150+ resources composed of internal resources (IT and Business) and several critical partners, spread across multiple teams and programme releases.
The role will also be responsible for preparing and reviewing Programme top-management reporting on European and Group level, as well as lead the monthly Programme's Steering Committee and weekly management status meetings (together with the Programme Manager and the PMO team). For this, this senior leadership role requires very strong management, leadership, and coordination skills with the ability of operating at multiple levels within the organization as well as with partners and vendors.

Diversity and Flexible Working at Hiscox
At Hiscox, we care about our people. We hire the best for the job and are committed to diversity and a truly inclusive culture, which we believe drives success. We recognize that working life does not always need to be office-bound. We operate on a hybrid work model to foster a healthy work-life balance, with time spent both in the office and working remotely. This approach combines structure and sociability with independence and flexibility.
Work with amazing people and be part of a unique culture
