We're looking for a specialist Lloyd's market consultant to lead a focused engagement on non-financial Lloyd's returns, addressing an immediate resource gap while redesigning the underlying process for the long term. This is a hands-on engagement for someone who already knows the Lloyd's market inside out, can step in without onboarding, and wants to make a visible, lasting improvement to how returns are produced. You'll work closely with the Underwriting Operations Manager and have genuine latitude to recommend and implement changes, not just deliver to a brief.
Key Purpose of the Role
- Deliver immediate, expert cover for non-financial Lloyd's returns
- Ensure upcoming returns cycles are completed to a high standard
- Diagnose and redesign current processes, moving the function from reactive to sustainable
Key Responsibilities:
- Lead delivery of non-financial Lloyd's returns activity for the engagement period
- Audit current reporting workflows and pinpoint where they break down
- Redesign fragmented processes into a clear, repeatable operating model
- Work with available data sources, including Excel-based inputs and data dumps, to produce accurate returns
- Present findings and recommendations to the Underwriting Operations Manager on the team's future ways of working
Requirements
- Deep, demonstrable expertise in non-financial Lloyd's reporting / Lloyd's returns
- Background in Lloyd's market operations or a comparable insurance-market environment
- No requirement for foundational Lloyd's training — ready to contribute from day one
- Track record combining hands-on delivery with process redesign
- Strong analytical and data skills
- Confident working with imperfect data environments, including Excel data dumps and pivot tables
- Comfortable working autonomously and delivering directly, not just advising
- A track record of challenging and improving inefficient processes
Benefits
Length: 6 months minimum, with strong prospects for extension or permanent contract
Day rate: up to £300 (outside IR35), depending on experience
Working pattern: Hybrid, 2–3 days/week in office
