• Interpret and apply accounting, regulatory and policy requirements to ensure compliant and consistent outcomes.
• Lead operational improvement, automation and digital initiatives to simplify activities, strengthen controls and improve efficiency.
• Lead reporting change initiatives and small projects, coordinating partners and implementing process and system enhancements.
• Support colleague development through coaching, knowledge sharing and technical guidance.
• Promote a strong risk and control environment through effective financial controls and governance processes.

Why join us?

We’re transforming at pace. Investing billions in our people, data and tech to change the way we meet the needs of our 28 million customers. We’re growing, and we’d love you to be part of the journey.

• 3+ years' experience preparing and reviewing financial reporting under IFRS, Solvency II or other regulatory reporting frameworks.
• Proven experience analysing complex financial information and translating findings into clear insights and recommendations for interested parties.
• Strong people management skills, with the ability to influence, challenge constructively and build effective relationships across Finance and the wider business.
• Experience operating within a robust financial control and governance environment, with a focus on accuracy, compliance and risk management.

And any of these would be great:

• Experience delivering operational improvement, automation or digital transformation initiatives within Finance.
• Knowledge of Power BI, Power Query, Power Automate and advanced Excel reporting techniques.
• Experience coaching, mentoring or developing colleagues and sharing technical expertise within a team environment.
• Ideally with Financial Services and/or Insurance experience.
