Senior Commercial Manager (Life Insurance)

Job Description

Senior Commercial Manager (Life Insurance)

Edinburgh (Ideally a few times a week in the office but open to candidates further afield)

£70k - £90k

We're on the lookout for a passionate, forward-thinking Senior Commercial Manager who thrives on ownership and innovation. You'll be the go-to expert for all things Life Insurance - from product development to P&L ownership, trading, reporting and performance. You'll lead the commercial delivery of the product, build and manage the relationship with our underwriter partner, and drive long-term success for a brand-new proposition.

You'll be the expert voice in a small but mighty cross-functional team across Propositions, Marketing, Finance, and Risk - most of whom don't have Life Insurance backgrounds. That means you'll be a motivator, a teacher, and a collaborator, bringing others along the journey while shaping the product from the ground up.

What you will bring:

• A genuine passion for insurance and a strong grasp of the protection space.
• Ideally, experience in Life Insurance, but we'd love to hear from you if your background includes Critical Illness, Income Protection, or Home Insurance.
• A commercial brain - someone confident managing P&L, setting budgets, and analysing trading performance.
• Experience working with external partners - especially underwriters - and managing contract delivery and governance.
• A natural leader who can inspire non-specialists, build bridges, and drive collaboration with warmth and confidence.
• Strategic thinking - with the ability to go from insight to action and deliver real value to customers.

This is more than just another commercial manager job. It's your chance to launch something brand new, with the backing of a major brand, and build the role into what you want it to be.

If you're driven, collaborative, and ready for your next big challenge - we'd love to hear from you.
