The Opportunity
We are expanding our Insurance and Operations transformation capability and are looking for multiple Change & Excellence professionals to play a pivotal role in shaping how change is delivered across the business. Sitting within a high‑impact core change team, these roles lead complex, strategic initiatives that span multiple P&Ls, as well as enterprise‑wide priorities that sit outside traditional silos.
These are senior, hands-on change roles for experienced professionals who are comfortable leading initiatives end-to-end, shaping the approach, and doing the work where required. You will operate in environments where outcomes are clear, but the path to get there is not -requiring judgement, adaptability, and strong collaboration across technical and non-technical stakeholders.
Having the right to work in the UK is a requirement for this role. QBE may consider sponsorship at its discretion.
About QBE
At QBE, we get to the heart of what matters for our customers. And we do it all with a human touch.

It’s an exciting time. We’re building momentum towards our vision to become the most consistent and innovative risk partner.
What if you could have a positive impact – at work and in the world? As part of the QBE team, you’ll get to spend every day working with people who are passionate, talented and kind.

About you
You’ll bring a senior, consulting‑style mindset and the ability to operate at pace, including:
Significant experience delivering business change, transformation or consulting engagements
Strong cross‑functional experience, navigating complex organisational and stakeholder landscapes
Consulting or advisory background (e.g. Big 4 or similar), ideally with financial services clients.
London market or general insurance knowledge is required
Comfort working in ambiguity, focusing on outcomes rather than predefined solutions
