Actuarials & Arras
We'll Help You Find What You Really Need
The client was a global Actuarial and consulting organisation.
Change-oriented & technically based
Due to Solvency II coming into play a large client of this organisation commissioned a new financial modeling solution to meet compliance. Installing a new model solution to a large insurance based organisation which has recently merged with other large names within the industry is a complex change programme – the need for both a technically-biased Project Manager with exceptional change experience and experience of working out on a client site in a consultative manner was required.
Through Discussion, We Determine the Extent of Seniority for the Role
Producing the appropriate project managers is not a challenge for Arras People, as we have hundreds available – finding a blend of the experience of working on high profile projects and a personality fit for the organisation were the key factors.
At Arras People, it is our duty to our clients to endeavour to find the appropriate fit for the client's needs, which means formulating discussions and tapping our own expertise in the industry as to what the client truly needs. In the actuarial scenario, originally the requirement was for a less senior person to be placed out on the client site to manage various aspects of communication and admin. On discussing the role further it became clear the requirement was for a Senior Project Manager with excellent business acumen and ability to manage senior stakeholders in challenging environments was required.
A senior Project Manager with a good level of experience rolling out technically biased large scale projects within the financial services field was placed and with input from Arras working as consultants along the way ensuring the right person met their business needs over the next two years.
Finding the right person for the job is what we do at Arras People
The client required an agency which specialises solely in Project Management – they found Arras a favourable choice as all the consultants at Arras People are project practitioners who have retrained to recruitment. We have been out on the front line and understand how to advise clients realistically on their requirements and assist in them meeting their end goal.
Arras People's interpretation of the true nature of each of our client's project management roles as they pertain to the project management market in the UK is part of our standard service and recruitment process.
It is the reason why Arras People are The Project People!
