- Prepare and review syndicate management accounts, including analysis of underwriting performance and movements.
- Produce Lloyd’s returns, including QMA, QMB, Flash reporting and annual returns.

- Play a central role in preparing the syndicate annual report and financial statements.
- Own key balance-sheet reconciliations and ensure reporting outputs remain audit-ready.
- Investigate and resolve reporting and data inconsistencies across different systems.
- Work closely with actuarial, underwriting, operations and other finance stakeholders.
- Manage third-party providers supporting syndicate accounting, monitoring delivery against agreed standards.
- Act as a key point of contact for external auditors.
- Strengthen reporting processes, controls and documentation.
- Identify opportunities to automate reporting and reduce manual intervention.
- Help bring greater ownership of Lloyd’s reporting capability in-house.
- Manage and develop one direct report.
