The Role

The Group Financial Controls team is responsible for the development, management and maintenance of the Group-wide financial control framework, responding to external regulations, monitoring remediation of control issues, and driving and embedding the right culture and behaviours within Hiscox. The team will play a key role in working with internal and external stakeholders to ensure a robust framework is in place with an appropriate level of control testing and reporting thereof.

Why we are hiring

The Group is growing fast and expanding into new areas. It is fundamental that a robust control environment underpins everything that we do and is an enabler to us achieving our overall ambitions. To this end, the Group recognises the importance for a skilled team to develop and support this area.

  • Enhance, manage and maintain the financial control framework throughout the Group that complies with the new UK Corporate Reform regulations and satisfies the Group’s risk appetite.
  • Evaluate new external requirements, perform gap analysis and implement enhanced controls to strengthen the framework.
  • Develop and evaluate process and controls documentation, track and assess key financial control processes, risks and controls.
  • Design and agree with key stakeholders the Group’s testing plan.
  • Lead the Group’s annual assessment of controls effectiveness, including risk assessment, test plans and attestation.
  • Produce regular reporting on the control environment and co-ordinate the evidence required to support a directors’ declaration.
  • Communicate key findings and recommend remediation to senior management.
  • Assist the business and functions to develop and implement remediation plans.
  • Leveraging external insights and best practice experience, deliver training to the business and functions.
  • Role model and drive a strong controls culture within the Hiscox organisation.

Skills/ Qualifications/ Experience required

  • Experienced qualified accountant (ICAEW/ACCA or equivalent).
  • 5+ years PQE of SoX or equivalent control experience.
  • Substantial post-qualification experience in a similar role in a large financial services organisation or accounting firm.
  • Excellent understanding of the best practices used in developing and applying control frameworks in the financial sector.
  • Proven ability to successfully influence and challenge others, especially at senior management level.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills.
  • Strong leadership skills, with experience of managing a team of experienced professionals, and an ability to work both individually and as a team.

Reporting Relationships/ Interactions

  • Reports to the Group Financial Controller
  • Lead by example and drive continuous improvement as a key member of the Financial Control leadership team

About Hiscox

As an international specialist insurer we are far removed from the world of mass market insurance products. Instead we are selective and focus on our key areas of expertise and strength - all of which is underpinned by a culture that encourages us to challenge convention and always look for a better way of doing things.

We insure the unique and the interesting. And we search for the same when it comes to talented people. Hiscox is full of smart, reliable human beings that look out for customers and each other. We believe in doing the right thing, making good and rebuilding when things go wrong. Everyone is encouraged to think creatively, challenge the status quo and look for solutions.

Scratch beneath the surface and you will find a business that is solid, but slightly contrary. We like to do things differently and constantly seek to evolve. We might have been around for a long time (our roots go back to 1901), but we are young in many ways, ambitious and going places.

Some people might say insurance is dull, but life at Hiscox is anything but. If that sounds good to you, get in touch.

Diversity and Hybrid working

At Hiscox we care about our people. We hire the best people for the job and we’re committed to diversity and creating a truly inclusive culture, which we believe drives success.

We have also learned over the past few years that working life doesn’t always have to be in the office, and now it is safe to do so we have introduced hybrid working to encourage a healthy work life balance.

This hybrid working model is set by the team rather than the business to enable you to manage your own personal work-life balance. We see it as the best of both worlds; structure and sociability on one hand, and independence and flexibility on the other.
