We have an exciting opportunity to join us here at Covéa Insurance as an It Technical Project Manager, within our IT Delivery Team!

At Covéa Insurance, we’re all about protecting what matters most - whether it’s your home, your car, or your business. With our award-winning customer service and a wide range of insurance products, we’re here to make a real difference.

Our purpose is simple but powerful: to help protect people against the worst happening and put it right if it does.  It’s what drives us every day, and it’s why our people are proud to be part of something meaningful!

Our mission is to build inclusive, empowered teams where everyone feels welcome and valued! We celebrate what makes each of us unique and believe that diversity drives innovation and success. Whoever you are, we want you to feel confident being yourself in your team at work.

In this role, you’ll be working in a team that is instrumental in driving Covéa Insurance’s strategic and operational success through technology. We lead the delivery of technical change that fuels business growth and operational resilience, and we manage the implementation of strategic, BAU, and regulatory initiatives to support the company's long-term vision.

This is a hybrid position, combining the best of both worlds - working from home and spending time in our Halifax office.

Step into a role where your potential is valued and your growth is supported.

What are the core responsibilities?

  • Lead end-to-end delivery of IT projects with clear scope, stage plans, and governance controls
  • Coordinate cross-functional teams, translate technical needs into structured deliverables, and ensure readiness criteria are met
  • Manage project budgets, track performance, and provide executive-level reporting on risks and benefits
  • Maintain RAID logs, stage boundaries, and project documentation to support consistent governance
  • Engage stakeholders through proactive communication, escalating risks and blockers with clarity and context
  • Align project execution with business goals and technical standards to drive strategic outcomes and operational resilience

Do you have what it takes?

  • Deliver complex, large-scale IT transformation projects with a focus on infrastructure, connectivity, and security
  • Apply structured project management frameworks to drive disciplined execution in regulated environments
  • Demonstrate strong commercial acumen through budget ownership, cost control, and performance reporting
  • Lead with resilience, motivating cross-functional teams and fostering accountability and continuous improvement
  • Communicate effectively across technical and non-technical audiences, proactively managing stakeholders and risks
  • Hold recognised project management certifications (e.g. PRINCE2 Practitioner, MSP, PMP, CAPM) and technical credentials (e.g. ITIL, CompTIA, Microsoft, Cisco, AWS); educated to A-level or higher in a relevant field

Not sure if you tick every box? That’s okay!
At Covéa, we know that great people don’t always meet every single requirement listed in a job ad. If this role excites you and you think you could be a good fit, we’d love to hear from you - so go ahead and apply! We’re all about building a diverse, inclusive team where everyone can thrive.

Why join us?

  • Flexible working – 36.25 hours a week with flexitime & hybrid options
  • Annual pay review – plus performance bonuses (up to 30% depending on level)
  • Generous holidays – 25–27 days + bank holidays, with buy/sell options
  • Pension perks – 7.5% employer contribution, rising to 9% with your input
  • A culture where everyone belongs – we're committed to diversity, equity & inclusion, with real action, employee-led community groups, and ongoing learning to make Covéa a place where everyone can thrive
  • Mental & financial support – through our dedicated Wellbeing group
  • Career growth – training, qualifications & apprenticeships to help you thrive
  • Health & wellbeing – private medical cover, 24/7 Virtual GP, health checks, flu jabs & more
  • Drive in style – Tusker Car Scheme with fully maintained insured vehicles
  • Extra savings – gym discounts, Cycle to Work, and retail offers via Perkpal
  • And much more!

What you need to know about the Belfast Tech Scene

If asked to name the birthplace of the RMS Titanic, you might not say Belfast. Similarly, if asked to name Europe's leading destination for foreign direct investment in new software development, Belfast might not come to mind. Yet, both are true. The city has emerged as a tech powerhouse, recently ranked among the best in the U.K. for tech careers — especially for software developers. It also leads the U.K. with the highest percentage of software development jobs advertised.
