• Drive Delivery at Pace: Implement processes that break down work for faster, incremental value delivery. Apply a problem-solving mindset and challenge existing practices.
  
• Manage Performance: Conduct regular check-ins, update objectives, set development goals and 90-day plans. Provide coaching and support to enhance team performance.
  
• Foster Innovation: Promote use of technology and innovation to streamline processes. Identify opportunities to reinvest time for greater impact and support change adoption.
  
• Ensure Governance & Risk Management: Adhere to the Financial Control Framework. Proactively raise and resolve risks and issues, taking ownership to mitigate impacts.
  
• Collaborate & Communicate: Work closely with Insurance, Pensions & Investment Finance (IP&IF) and other teams to integrate financial processes with broader change initiatives.
  

What you'll need

Education:

• Bachelor's degree in a relevant field (e.g. Finance or Accounting) or a professional accounting qualification (e.g. ACA, ACCA, CIMA).
  

Technical skills & experience:

• Finance experience: Established, hands-on, commercial experience in a related finance role, preferably within the insurance finance sector.
  
• Strong technical proficiency: Technical skills in financial software and Microsoft Office Suite, particularly Excel and Oracle.
  

Behavioural skills:

• Analytical Thinking: Strong ability to interpret complex financial data and solve problems.
  
• Communication: Excellent interpersonal skills; effective at building relationships across all levels.
