MBA Future Leaders Programme - Group Strategy Manager

Are you ready to help shape the future of a FTSE 100 company? Join Admiral’s Group Strategy team and accelerate your path to senior leadership. If you're motivated by making a difference, exploring new ideas, and working across international markets, we’d love to hear from you!

About Us:

As Admiral continues to grow in both size and complexity, we're looking for talented people with the potential to help guide our future. We need leaders who want to make a meaningful impact, and we're committed to helping you achieve just that.

Admiral is Financial Services company, offering a variety of insurance and lending products. Founded by two MBAs with a vision for creating a supportive and enriching work environment, Admiral Group has grown into a successful FTSE 100 company, operating in the UK, France, Italy and Spain. With over 11 million customers, a market cap over £10bn, and 25 consecutive years as a Great Place to Work, we’re proud of our people-first culture and forward-looking growth.

Your Role:

As a Group Strategy Manager, reporting into our Head of Group Strategy, and sponsored by our Group CEO, Milena Mondini, you’ll play a key role in supporting our Group strategy - placing culture and customer experience at the heart of everything we do. Our 3 core focus areas include scaling our business, enhancing our data utilisation and speed of delivery to customers, and amplifying our Admiral DNA.

This programme bridges the gap between strategic thinking and hands-on delivery, preparing you for a future role in leadership.

Key Responsibilities:

• Collaborate with senior teams to support a wide range of strategic priorities across the Group
• Support the transition of new ideas from concept to full-scale implementation, working across various products and new ventures
• Pick up on ad-hoc projects assigned by our Group CEO
• Bring an entrepreneurial and innovative approach to your work
• Develop plans, gather and analyse data, solve problems, and offer recommendations for strategic and operational initiatives
• Work with teams across the Group to communicate our strategy and priorities, and how they connect to each business area
• Help prepare reports and recommendations from concept to implementation, and present them to senior stakeholders (including the Group Board)

Location:

This role is based at our HQ in Cardiff, UK, although we work on a flexible hybrid model meaning you won’t need to be in the office every day.

There will also be potential opportunities in Paris, Rome, and Seville. For roles outside the UK, we may consider direct placements outside the programme.

We’re looking for:

• MBA from a leading business school
• Experience working with and advising senior stakeholders
• Experience managing large scale cross-functional projects

Desirable Skills and Qualities:

• Comfortable working with data and technology to support informed decision-making
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
• Ability to take initiative while working collaboratively
• Enthusiastic and proactive approach to making things happen
• Interest in working across our international operations
• Fluency in one of our operational languages (French, Italian, Spanish)

We’re on the hunt for future CEOs - curious minds, strategic thinkers, fast learners, and bold problem-solvers ready to shape the future of industry.

Ready to help shape Admiral’s future? Apply now and take the first step toward a high-impact career in strategy and leadership.
