"About Admiral
Admiral Group is a leading FTSE 100 Financial Services company with a presence in eight countries. The company was set up in 1993 as a car insurance specialist, but since then the Group has expanded in other countries and other insurance verticals such as household and travel insurance, loans, price comparison platforms, and has developed innovative products.
The Group has 7 million customers worldwide and employs over 11,000 people across its operations. Admiral is a growth story with an enviable track record of strong financial performances, ROE consistently over 50%, a turnover of £3.5 bn, and a profit before tax of £520m in 2019.
Admiral’s philosophy is that ‘people who like what they do, do it better,’ and Admiral is proud to offer an open culture where achievement is rewarded and recognised and where coming to work is exciting every day. In 2019, Admiral received a special award from ‘Best Companies to Work For’ as the only company to feature within their rankings since they began 20 years ago: a true testament to the Group’s culture.
About Admiral Pioneer
Admiral Pioneer is a new entity within Admiral Group with the objective of seeding, launching, and scaling new businesses in areas of increasing societal importance. We are focussing on three significant domains:
- Mobility
- Future of Work
- Live to 101
These domains are long term growth areas for Admiral. We anchor around meeting customer needs and are focused on experimenting and proving new products, business models, and partnerships through a discovery-driven approach.
We aren’t an incubator; we are building a dynamic and energising environment where we will provide all the excitement and freedom of a start-up, with the support and stability of an established organisation. We want to recruit passionate business builders who look at the world and see huge opportunities to change it.
About the Role
We are looking for hands-on founders to build our businesses of the future. You may already have an idea that falls within our domains. If you do, we would love to hear it, but don’t worry we have lots of our own. Once we agree on the problem we want to solve, we will back you to build it, helping you establish the team and the capability to bring our vision to life.
About You
You have probably already built and exited a business but want to do it again…but better. You may have an idea that you want to pursue or are just looking for the buzz that creating and growing a successful business with a team can bring. We get it because so do we.
|Knowledge and Abilities
- A strong desire to positively impact or make a market, not copy what exists today
- A natural leader with the ability to envision, articulate, and build businesses from the ground up
- Familiar and comfortable with a customer-first ‘ethnographic research’ approach to product and proposition creation
- Depth of design, marketing, data, and technology skills making you a strong business founder
- Fantastic communication and interpersonal skills with diverse audiences and a desire to work within a fast-paced and dynamic team environment
- An ability to initiate a compelling vision and use this to mobilise stakeholders around it
- A hands-on approach and desire to work operationally to shape and add value to the business
|Experience
- Deep experience of customer-centric design and building compelling products and propositions
- Experience in business development/partnership development
- You have a demonstrated track record of revenue growth through winning go-to-market strategies and execution
- You have lead start-up/scale-up businesses and/or have deep experience as part of a founding team
Location
The Admiral Pioneer HQ is in Cardiff, Wales, however, we are happy to discuss remote working options.
Salary, Benefits and Work-Life Balance
We do not have a set salary for this position, as it will be dependent on the successful candidate’s experience. We are happy to see CVs from all candidates who meet the requirements and will be happy to discuss the remuneration package.
At Admiral, we are proud to be a diverse business where we put our people and customers first. We have great benefits to ensure employees have a great work-life balance; it's one of the reasons we're voted no. 1 in the 2019 Sunday Times Best Big Companies to Work For in the UK. We want you to have an element of freedom to define a working lifestyle that supports this, so accommodate flexible hours wherever possible.
