Key Responsibilities

  • Lead annual budget, rolling forecasts and multi-year planning
  • Analyse and explain performance, with particular focus on trading outcomes, loss ratio, expense ratio, combined ratio, and underwriting results
  • Develop financial plans incorporating core value drivers such as volumes, retention, pricing, inflation, cost trends, and commission structures
  • Deliver Board-ready reporting and forward-looking analysis
  • Enhance FP&A models, dashboards and forecasting capability
  • Build and lead a high-performing FP&A team
  • Act as a trusted finance partner to the CFO and CEO

Experience Required

  • 10+ years' FP&A or senior finance leadership experience
  • Strong background in personal lines motor insurance or similar margin-driven sector
  • Professionally qualified (ACA, ACCA, CPA, CFA or equivalent)
  • Advanced modelling and commercial analytics capability
  • Confident influencing senior stakeholders

This is a high-impact role with real strategic visibility and the opportunity to shape a best-in-class FP&A function. If you're a proven leader who can operate both remotely and in the office then please get in touch.
