We’re looking for a Technical Accounting Manager with deep Solvency II and insurance experience to join our External Reporting team.

• Manage the coordination and sign-off process for the Solvency and Financial Condition Report (SFCR).
• Support governance, control and assurance frameworks for external reporting.
• Partner with onshore and offshore teams to drive continuous improvement in reporting quality and efficiency.

• Knowledge of IFRS and financial reporting frameworks.
• Proven ability to manage offshore teams and meet strict reporting deadlines.
