Are you keen to work somewhere that’s stimulating and friendly with countless opportunities for growth and plenty of autonomy? This could be the place for you!

We are looking for a Delivery Manager here at INSHUR, working on a technical programme of work which covers multiple states and partners. We are based in sunny Brighton (sea, chips and seagulls included) and our company embraces a hybrid working model, allowing you to thrive in both collaborative office settings and the comfort of your own home. You’ll have the opportunity to work remotely while also connecting with your colleagues at our Brighton office at least once a week, fostering a dynamic and supportive environment.

You’ll be working on re-inventing insurance in exciting markets across multiple territories including the UK, US and the Netherlands, and new European countries as we expand.

Reporting to the Head of Delivery, you'll be joining a friendly team of 4 who believe in delivering great features while looking for the best ways to refine and improve how we work.

We value high performance and care deeply about making INSHUR feel like a place where everyone is building something really special, that we can all be proud of, and doing it with friends.

What you'll do

As our Delivery Manager you will be responsible for all aspects of the delivery of projects across the company. You will be the primary connector between multiple stakeholders, partners and colleagues, with responsibility for making sure the right features are built in the right order to deliver value at speed in an iterative manner.
