AD / Director: Business Interruption

4 weeks ago


London, United Kingdom Hays. Full time

Your new company
Our client is a global claims management firm and sits on the panels of most major insurers. Their forensic team works with external insurers as well as their own major & complex loss, engineering, and cyber teams. The UK-wide Forensic team is drawn from a variety of backgrounds which enables them to approach cases from a broad range of angles. Backgrounds include commerce/industry, ex-forces, and of course practice/consulting. The team has its own graduate program, studying ACA.
Being a UK-wide team means they can respond to major loss on a localized level and there are now accountants in each location. Uniquely, the team has a dedicated people director who runs the function operationally. Therefore, as a Senior Manager in this team, your management is more focused around peer review, case strategy, and tech review.

Your new role
If you've already done some business interruption / insurer-led work, then you'll know how rewarding it can be being that bit more "hands-on" with the end business, compared to what is typical in other disputes work. For many, that's a real highlight of the job. So in this role, you get to go "total immersion" on that, while at the same time leading case strategy and teams, and being responsible for the following:

  1. Assess business interruption and financial claims both on site and from office.
  2. Report preparation including commentary on the review and conclusion of analytical work.
  3. Meeting clients including insurers, reinsurers, claimants, and the insured.
  4. Calculating and agreeing settlement of claims, and preparing final reports.
  5. Staff development (though ops and pastoral are taken care of for you).
  6. Develop working relationships with existing clients; help to identify and plan approaches to new clients.
  7. Keep abreast of any technical or legal changes which may impact a case.
  8. Business development - much of this is done via repeat business through high calibre output.

What you'll need to succeed

  • ACA/ACCA qualified.
  • Forensic accounting experience to at least Senior Manager level.
  • That experience to have included major loss/insurer-led work, coupled with a desire to grow this side of your experience.
  • A desire to develop business and be rewarded for success.
  • While a hybrid working pattern is in place, an ability and willingness to go out to a business site (likely to be in the South East but potentially elsewhere in the UK) at short notice is desirable.

What you'll get in return

  • A culture where BD is as much about generating repeat business through excellent project management and client relationships, as it is generating new clients.
  • First-promotion to Director can be considered on merit for experienced Senior Managers/ADs.
  • The chance to take a further qualification and be rewarded with a salary raise for every level you pass.
  • A bonus system which has a leveraged element linked to productivity - you have a real chance to influence it.
  • A firm where values are not just "a poster on a wall" but part of the cultural ecosystem.
  • Tangible metrics for further advancement.
  • Working with a broad range of backgrounds and specialties in the team - lots of different minds to bounce ideas and approaches around with.

What you need to do now
If you're in a PE-backed business and the only thing holding you back is a retention bonus yet to pay out, please talk to me anyway. There may well be a workaround with the client.
