London, United Kingdom Policy Expert Full time

**Job Title** Expenses Business Partner

**Department **Finance

**Reports to **Head of Corporate Strategy & FP&A

**Location **London

**Who we are**

We're Policy Expert, a home and motor insurance provider and we're on a mission to shake up the personal insurance industry. We feel that insurers have under-served customers for too long with confusing policies, expensive renewals and frustrating claims processes. It is time to put customers first

Since we formed in 2011, we've been using breakthrough thinking and proprietary tech to provide insurance that's clear, fair and great value. And people like what we do. So much so that we now have well over one million customers, driven by our double-digit growth. We also take great pride in having been the UK's No.1-rated home insurance provider for 9 years.

We have big aspirations. Our 'North Star' is 'To be the most successful insurance disruptor people want to stay with for life'. As we grow, we plan on continuing to challenge the norms of an insurance industry whose reputation for customer trust is low, where switching between providers is high and insurance cover is often seen as a costly 'grudge purchase'.

We aim to build longer and deeper relationships with our customers and to help them see insurance as being a help, not a hindrance.

**The role and what you'll be doing**

You will be working within the Finance Team of an exciting and high-growth business that is looking to build out its FP&A function to support the next phase of growth. In this role you will take responsibility for forecasting for the business, engaging with senior stakeholders to develop financial forecasts. You will also be responsible for Financial MI - maintaining and analysing our monthly results to enable leaders across the business to easily understand our financial performance. You will support on decision support activities, helping business leaders understand the financial implications of strategies and decisions. You will inform and challenge business leaders on their performance against budget and support them to hit their targets.

As a key member of a team, you will be responsible for:

- Ownership of the expenses forecasting for the business including supporting the implementation of a new forecasting tool
- Partnership with teams and leaders across the business to create and build expense forecasts
- Ownership of finance MI including redesigning existing MI, automating processes and drive efficiencies
- Provide ad hoc analysis for the senior leaders, Board and other internal and external stakeholders
- Supporting business departments to create business cases for new initiatives and strategies
- Work closely with various business units to help them understand their performance
- Development and improvement of analytics and processes: automating processes and controls

**What we would like you to have**:

- Very strong financial analysis and accounting skills
- Extensive modelling experience either within an FP&A or advisory role
- Knowledge or experience of insurance
- Strong commercial acumen
- Strong analytical thinking and problem solving
- A desire to innovate and introduce innovative ideas that will benefit the business
- Knowledge and experience in working with large data sets
- Strong attention to detail with the ability to work under pressure
- Expert influencer with experience at communicating findings
- Strong business partnering skills. Promote collaboration with business functions
- ACA/ACCA/CIMA with 1-2 years post-qualification experience

**In addition, it would be great if you had**:

- Experience of reinsurance contracts
- Experience with EPM systems
- Familiarity with transforming and manipulating large data sets

**What we stand for and what we provide**

We want everyone to feel valued and rewarded in their work. We therefore offer all employees:

- Private medical cover with Vitality
- Dental Insurance
- Hybrid working
- Training and education through LinkedIn learning and Plurasight
- Travel season ticket loan
- Social events through the year
- Access to selected London O2 events and use of a Private Lounge.
- Employee Wellbeing Programme

**Next Steps**
- If your CV ticks the right boxes, we'll be in touch to arrange a pre-screen interview with our Talent Acquisition team.
- Following this stage, if successful, you'll be invited to a face-to-face interview
