We offer flexibility with our smart working initiative, combining working from home and from our London office. Our culture fosters collaboration, customer service and colleague development.

There really is potential to have so much variation in Middle Office if you want it as part of your career, and to develop skills in a lot of different areas too, the industry in which we work in Insurance or Reinsurance, the IT Systems we operate to manage our business, through to Project, Process or Change Management type disciplines.
