- Maintain ledger integrity and policy compliance across IFRS and applicable local GAAPs, with auditable evidence and high data quality standards.
- Lead capital management activities for MRSGM, including planning, monitoring, and reporting of capital adequacy and related regulatory tests.
- Provide insight and recommendations on capital drivers, sensitivity analysis, and the impact of business change or regulatory developments on capital needs.
- Ensure clear alignment between capital reporting, business planning and regulatory submissions.
- Lead and support transformation initiatives that impact regulatory and external reporting, ensuring process design, controls, and data flows meet audit and regulator expectations.
- Design/refresh process maps and control frameworks for intercompany, Lloyd’s, statutory, and ESG reporting; implement pragmatic data quality checks and reconciliation routines.
- Champion digital enablement and standardisation within reporting processes to improve cycle time, control, and transparency.
- Define and monitor key control and process performance indicators (e.g. close timetables, audit findings, re‑work rates).
- Act as primary contact for intercompany and regulatory reporting matters within MRSGM.
- Build effective relationships with Syndicates, IDCs, MGAs, and other internal partners to facilitate accurate, timely reporting and reconciliations.
