Oliver James is working with a leading London Market insurer looking for an experienced Data Engineer to join a high-profile transformation project.

The business is experiencing significant growth across its Consortium and Facility operations and is looking to automate a number of currently manual data and back-office processes. The successful contractor will have significant ownership over designing and building scalable automated solutions.

The role will involve:

Building and automating data processes across Consortium and Facility business
Automating bordereaux production, fee calculations and other insurance data processes
Working with data held within SQL Server
Understanding existing business process flows and translating these into scalable technical solutions
Building appropriate controls and auditability into automated processes
Working closely with insurance and business stakeholders
Helping create a best-in-class, scalable process as the business continues to grow


Key experience:

Strong hands-on Data Engineering background
Excellent SQL / SQL Server / T-SQL skills
Previous Lloyd's / London Market insurance experience
Proven experience taking manual business/data processes and successfully automating them
Strong understanding of data flows and ETL
Experience with Consortium, Facility, bordereaux, Delegated Authority or Coverholder data would be highly desirable
Experience with Microsoft Fabric, Python and/or PowerShell would be beneficial


This isn't a role where the technical solution has already been completely prescribed. The successful Data Engineer will have considerable flexibility around how the solution is built, so it's particularly suited to someone who enjoys taking ownership of a problem and delivering the right technical solution.
