Job description

At Acturis, innovation isn’t just part of our culture — it’s in our DNA.

Our journey began in 2000 in the garden shed of our co‑founder, Theo Duchen, who—together with fellow former McKinsey partner David McDonald—set out to reinvent insurance technology. From those start‑up beginnings, Acturis has grown into a global SaaS leader transforming the insurance industry.

Today, over 100,000 users in 40+ countries rely on our platform to run and grow their businesses. By partnering closely with brokers, insurers, and MGAs, we continue to shape modern insurance across both personal and commercial lines.

Recognised as a Great Place to Work® 2026 Acturis combines the agility and innovation of a start‑up with the scale and stability of an industry leader. You’ll join a team where expertise is valued, ideas move fast, and talented people make a real impact from day one. And as an EcoVadis Committed‑rated organisation, we focus on creating long‑term value by operating in a sustainable and responsible way.

 

Day to day you will:

  • Provide strategic leadership to Enterprise IT teams—managing budgets, championing service excellence, and ensuring effective stakeholder collaboration across our international group.

  • Standardise and consolidate IT platforms and processes, driving compliance and operational consistency while leading major transformation and integration initiatives.

  • Act as the senior escalation point for critical issues, overseeing governance, risk, and continuous improvement to deliver secure, reliable, and future-ready IT services.

We offer structured development, clear progression, and genuine ownership — whether that means leading projects, shaping strategy, or mentoring others. You’ll work in a collaborative environment where strong performers progress quickly.

You can expect:

  • A transparent progression structure, regular feedback, and annual performance reviews.

  • Opportunities to lead cross‑functional projects, influence product direction, and support the growth of junior team members.

  • Comprehensive onboarding, ongoing professional development, and access to industry‑recognised training.

Job requirements

You’ll thrive here if you:

  • Are an accomplished IT leader with a strong track record of delivering transformation and standardisation in complex, multi-entity and regulated environments.

  • Excel at implementing robust, compliant IT services and driving operational improvements, with an emphasis on service quality and group-wide consistency.

  • Build effective relationships at every level, using clear stakeholder communication to align teams and lead strategic change across the group.

Ready to use your expertise to help shape the future of insurance technology?
Join Acturis and take on a role where your impact is immediate, your ideas matter, and your progression is limitless.
