We have an exciting opportunity that has arisen within our Financial Reporting Centre here at L&G which will focus on providing Reporting support to our Bermuda based L&G Re Business.

This role would be ideal for a Qualified Actuary who has previous Financial Reporting experience and who enjoys processing and validating numbers.

Including highlighting opportunities to maximise performance across the agreed range of financial metrics and challenging business plans and initiatives to ensure that plans deliver the anticipated business benefits.
• Managing the development, support and maintenance of the team’s financial reporting systems, processes and reporting methodologies, ensuring they are robust. This will include incorporating system and process changes as required for the ongoing production of the financial results.
• Managing the relationship with the relevant external consultants, peer reviewers and auditors within the Business Division.

• A Qualified Actuary - preferably with post qualification experience within a Life Company.
