Senior Executive, Finance & Actuarial
Introduction to the Role
This is a high-profile role that shapes how finance and actuarial practices evolve across the Lloyd’s market. Acting as a trusted bridge between market participants and the Corporation of Lloyd’s, it leads the design and delivery of market-wide initiatives that improve the effectiveness, efficiency, and consistency of finance and actuarial functions in the market.
The role also provides a unique opportunity to influence how the capital efficiency and financial performance components of the Lloyd’s 2026 strategy are interpreted and implemented, helping to deliver tangible benefits to the Lloyd’s market.
Unlike in-house roles, this position provides visibility across the entire Lloyd’s market, offering direct engagement with CFOs, Chief Actuaries, and senior stakeholders, and access to market-wide financial and actuarial insights.
Introduction to the Lloyd's Market Association (LMA)
The Lloyd’s Market Association (LMA) represents the interests of all 56 Lloyd’s managing agents and all Lloyd’s members’ agents, who together underwrite approximately £56.2 billion of risk in 2025.
The purpose of the LMA is to make the market a better place and in so doing, maintain the Lloyd’s market’s position as the pre-eminent leader in specialty and commercial risk. We sit at the centre of the Lloyd’s market, a world-leading global marketplace for complex risk.
We seek to make the market a better place in five fundamental ways. First, we advocate on behalf of our members with key stakeholders, including governments, regulators, and the Corporation of Lloyd’s. Second, our work spans technical and professional support, from developing model policy wordings to providing guidance on regulatory and legislative requirements.
Third, our award-winning LMA Academy is one of the leading providers of Lloyd’s technical training in the market, supporting the ongoing development of underwriting, claims, finance, risk, and operations professionals. Fourth, we drive forward a digitalisation agenda for the market, and fifth, we are strong advocates of advancing the market’s inclusive culture.
Collaboration is at the core of what we do. We engage closely with our members to understand and tackle the issues that matter most, and we partner with Lloyd’s and other market associations to help shape the future of the marketplace.

The role leads the LMA contribution to key projects such as Reporting Rationalisation, Capital Transformation, and Investment Asset Infrastructure.
