6 Month Contract Duration – Outside IR35
THE OPPORTUNITY
Our client, a Lloyd’s of London managing agent, is seeking an experienced Interim TMS Implementation Specialist to join their Finance function on a contract basis. The business case for a new Treasury Management System has been approved, and the preferred solution is expected to be FIS (Integrity or equivalent). This individual will be brought in to lead and execute the implementation, working closely with internal stakeholders across Finance, IT, and Operations.
This is a hands‑on, delivery‑focused role. The client is not looking for a consultant to scope or re‑evaluate – the groundwork has been done. They need someone who can hit the ground running from day one.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
System Implementation & Delivery
- Lead the end‑to‑end implementation of the new Treasury Management System (expected FIS Integrity or equivalent)
- Manage the full project lifecycle including requirements gathering, system configuration, UAT, data migration, go‑live, and post‑implementation support
- Coordinate with the TMS vendor and internal IT teams on technical integration points, including connectivity to banking platforms and existing finance systems
- Ensure the system is configured to meet Lloyd’s market‑specific requirements including multi‑currency, syndicate accounting structures, and trust fund management
Stakeholder Management
- Act as the primary liaison between Finance, Treasury, IT, and Operations throughout the implementation
- Provide regular project updates to senior management, flagging risks and issues with proposed mitigations
- Manage third‑party vendor relationships, holding them accountable to agreed timelines and deliverables
Process & Controls
- Document new workflows, procedures, and control frameworks associated with the TMS
- Ensure the implementation aligns with internal audit, compliance, and regulatory requirements relevant to Lloyd’s
- Identify process improvement opportunities within treasury operations as part of the transition
Training & Handover
- Design and deliver end‑user training to Finance and Treasury staff
- Produce comprehensive documentation and operational guides to support BAU post‑implementation
- Facilitate a smooth handover to the permanent team at the end of the contract
REQUIRED EXPERIENCE & SKILLS
Essential – Non‑Negotiable
- Proven, demonstrable experience implementing a Treasury Management System – must have done this before in a hands‑on capacity, not just oversight
- Direct experience working within the Lloyd’s of London insurance market (managing agent, syndicate, or Lloyd’s‑facing role)
- Strong understanding of treasury operations including cash management, liquidity, FX, and investment reporting in an insurance context
- Experience with FIS treasury products (Integrity, Quantum, or equivalent) is highly desirable and will be prioritised
- Familiarity with Lloyd’s‑specific financial structures: syndicate accounting, Funds at Lloyd’s, trust fund requirements, and Lloyd’s reporting obligations
Desirable
- Experience of systems integration work with banking platforms (e.g. SWIFT, host‑to‑host connectivity) and ERP systems
- Previous interim or contracting experience – ability to self‑manage and deliver without hand‑holding
- Exposure to regulatory frameworks relevant to Lloyd’s including Solvency II and PRA reporting
- Experience in broader finance transformation or systems change programmes within insurance or financial services
Personal Attributes
- Strong communicator capable of engaging both technical and non‑technical stakeholders at all levels
- Highly organised with the ability to manage competing priorities and keep a project on track
- Pragmatic and solutions‑focused – comfortable operating in ambiguity and able to make decisions with incomplete information
- Available at short notice – this is a priority hire and the client is looking to move quickly
