About MIB

At MIB our people are passionate about making roads safer by getting uninsured and hit-and-run drivers off our roads. Working in partnership with the Police, Insurers and Government our collective aim is to make it a thing of the past but, until that’s accomplished, we’re here to compensate victims quickly, fairly and compassionately.

Last year we helped more than 34,000 people struck by uninsured and hit-and-run drivers and paid over £400 million in compensation to support victims rebuild their lives.

About the role

A key focus of the role will be planning and delivering discovery phases for Partnership and Education workstreams within the wider strategic portfolio, working collaboratively with IFB subject matter experts and stakeholders to shape delivery approaches, clarify requirements and develop clear, prioritised and sequenced implementation plans, recognising delivery constraints and key dependencies across initiatives. The role will also be expected to support other IFB strategic initiatives where required, flexing focus in line with programme priorities and capacity. This role provides an opportunity to contribute to nationally significant work tackling insurance fraud, while helping to embed effective governance and delivery discipline across a growing strategic portfolio.
