Job Purpose
This role is a key member of the Insurance Leadership Team, bringing extensive experience of Insurance to the Business Consultants who are engaged with our clients.

This role oversees the activities and performance of each Business Consultant in a project team environment on either Eurobase or client premises, which may include overseas travel.
Some travel may be required.
