You’ll act as a trusted technical specialist within the External Reporting function—ensuring full compliance with Solvency II and UK regulatory requirements, while embedding strong controls and driving continuous process improvement.
This role also plays a key part in supporting a broader finance transformation programme, including automation, data quality improvement, and regulatory change initiatives.

- Support preparation of the SFCR and RSR, including narrative disclosures.
- Submit regulatory filings via EIOPA, PRA, and European portals; manage follow‑up with regulators.
- Stay updated on Solvency II / Solvency UK developments, taxonomies, and evolving regulatory requirements.
Controls, Audit & Quality Assurance
- Ensure submissions are fully audit‑ready with robust reconciliations, validations, and sign‑off processes.
- Respond to auditor, regulator, and internal stakeholder queries with accuracy and professionalism.
Stakeholder Engagement
- Collaborate effectively with Actuarial, Risk, FP&A, Treasury, and Operations teams.
- Proactively challenge and resolve data quality issues and process bottlenecks.
Transformation & Process Improvement
- Support finance transformation and automation initiatives designed to modernise reporting.

- Strong capability to handle, reconcile, and analyse large volumes of financial data; ensure data integrity and actionable insight.
- Able to work independently to manage deliverables end-to-end, prioritise effectively, and proactively solve problems with minimal supervision.

- Advanced Excel skills (Power Query, lookups, pivots, macros); XBRL knowledge highly desirable.
- Experience with SAP or similar ERP/ledger systems.
