Job Description

We're looking for an Actuarial & Finance Change Services - Senior Manager to join us and help lead complex Enterprise-Wide Finance change across L&G. This is a great opportunity for someone who can bring together technical actuarial/finance knowledge, confident project leadership, and strong senior stakeholder management to ensure well-managed delivery.

If you have previous experience leading complex actuarial, finance, or technical change in a consultancy, insurer, asset management, or other related environment, we'd love to hear from you.

Whatever your background, what matters most is your ability to lead with credibility, adapt quickly, and turn complex technical problems into pragmatic solutions.

You’ll be joining a well-established team that already supports important change across modelling, reporting, governance, and financial insight, so you'll have the opportunity to work with and lead like-minded change professionals.

This is a hybrid working opportunity, which means you can split your working week between your home and our Central London Office, to find a work-life balance that works for you.

What you’ll be doing:

• Leading complex actuarial and finance change initiatives across Group Finance and Enterprise-Wide Finance teams.
• Providing senior technical oversight across areas such as Solvency II, IFRS 17, Capital, Reserving, Planning, and Reporting.
• Defining project scope, governance, milestones, risks, dependencies, and delivery plans.
• Working closely with Finance, Risk, Data, IT, Operations, and Senior Stakeholders across the Group to turn technical outputs into clear business insight.
• Overseeing changes to actuarial models, reporting processes, and control frameworks.
• Managing and developing colleagues to deliver high-quality outcomes for internal customers.
• Influencing Senior Stakeholders through structured analysis, clear communication, and practical recommendations.
• Ensuring change activity supports good customer outcomes and aligns with regulatory, governance, and control expectations.

Who we’re looking for:

• Qualified Actuary (FIA/FFA or equivalent) or relevant technical professional experience.
• Strong experience leading complex actuarial, finance, insurance, or technical change projects.
• A strong technical grounding in actuarial, finance, capital, reporting, modelling, or related disciplines.
• Good knowledge of Solvency II, IFRS 17, or comparable regulatory/reporting frameworks.
• Experience managing project governance, risks, dependencies, controls, and documentation.
• Confidence working with senior stakeholders across Finance, Risk, Data, IT, Operations, or similar teams.
• Ability to adapt quickly, pick up new technical areas, and work across different business priorities.
• Experience in consultancy, PRT, matching adjustment, FIS Prophet, or large-scale model/reporting change would be helpful but is not essential.

Whatever your role, we reward performance and behaviour with a package that looks after all the things that are important to you. Here are some of the benefits we offer:

• The opportunity to participate in our annual, performance-related bonus plan and valuable share schemes.
• Generous pension contribution.
• Life assurance.
• Healthcare Plan.
• 30 days holiday, plus public holidays.
• Competitive family leave.
• Participate in our electric car scheme, which offers employees the option to hire a brand-new electric car through tax-efficient salary sacrifice.
• There are many discounts we offer – both for our own products and at a range of high street stores and online.
• We’re creating net-zero carbon workplaces by 2030 by investing in our sustainable, modern offices across the UK, all designed to bring people together and elevate the in-person experience.
