Finance Controller – Lloyd’s / Syndicate
London | Hybrid Working | Competitive Salary + Benefits
Ready for your next step in the Lloyd’s market?
I’m working with a growing insurance and reinsurance business with operations across the London Market, Ireland, and internationally. They are now looking for an ambitious Financial Controller to take ownership of their UK finance function and play a key role in the continued growth of their London business whilst managing the team and developing.
This is an opportunity for someone who wants more than simply managing the numbers. You’ll have broad exposure across a Lloyd’s syndicate, corporate member, and UK service company, with significant autonomy and a genuine pathway towards senior leadership.
The Opportunity
Reporting directly to the senior finance leader, you’ll take responsibility for the day-to-day management of the UK finance function and lead a growing team.
What you'll be doing
Lloyd’s Reporting
- Take ownership of the finance function for the company's own syndicate.
- Manage and consolidate data across approximately 30 individual programmes.
- Oversee key Lloyd’s reporting requirements, including QMRs and SPFs.
- Work closely with underwriting and wider business stakeholders.
- Ensure accurate and timely financial reporting and accounting.
