Senior Strategy Manager

Flood Re is a unique company. We have a purpose that is set out in statute, but we need to deliver this in a fast‑changing and uncertain environment. Our strategy must remain dynamic and agile, while ensuring that partners across Government and the insurance industry understand both the Scheme and the evolving landscape.

The strategy function supports Flood Re in delivering its purpose by identifying key drivers of change, assessing their impact, and communicating clear, actionable insights internally and externally. This role will suit someone who thrives in an intellectually stimulating environment, is highly analytical, and can synthesise complex information into actionable recommendations to shape decision‑making.

The Senior Strategy Manager will report to the Corporate Strategy Lead and will work closely with the Director of Policy & Government Affairs and the wider leadership team at Flood Re to identify, shape, and address strategic priorities. The role spans a broad range of initiatives, supporting both delivery of the corporate strategy and engagement with key stakeholders, in particular Flood Re’s Board and insurer Members.

The ideal candidate will be confident operating at a senior level, including working with the Executive Committee and Board.
