This role emphasizes the enhancement and refinement of processes and controls, aligning with the Company's policies and standards. The successful candidate will demonstrate a strong sense of accountability and ownership over assigned tasks, delivering results even under tight deadlines while exhibiting flexibility and determination as necessary.

The individual will oversee deliverables based in Luxembourg and will report directly to a manager located in that region. The position may also necessitate occasional travel.

Department and Team Insights:

Liberty Specialty Markets operates through two main legal entities functioning as (re)/insurers: Syndicate and Liberty Mutual Insurance Europe Limited SE (LMIE), which are regulated by various authorities including Lloyd's, the UK PRA, and the Luxembourg CAA, among others. The ongoing global expansion of LSM introduces continuous changes within the regulatory landscape.

We are enhancing our team of finance professionals in Luxembourg. Alongside the broader finance team in London, the Luxembourg reporting team is responsible for a wide array of external reporting obligations and local regulatory compliance. This includes monitoring capital resource levels under various solvency frameworks, collaborating with diverse stakeholders to meet detailed reporting requirements, and enhancing the quality of reporting and associated processes. All outputs from this function must adhere to strict deadlines, demanding a high level of commitment from involved staff, particularly during quarter-end periods.

Core Responsibilities:

Prepare and submit quarterly and annual regulatory reporting returns to the Commissariat aux Assurances (CAA) for the legal entity. Generate quarterly internal management reporting packages for the legal entity's branch management committees. Oversee and fulfill all other local reporting obligations. Conduct detailed validation, analytical reviews, and controls on data, working schedules, and results. Develop comprehensive files to support all analyses, reviews, and conclusions. Initiate assessments of workflows to identify efficiency improvements and escalate any issues, unexpected results, or data discrepancies. Document workflows and internal control procedures thoroughly. Collaborate closely with members of the Legal Entity Reporting Team to cultivate consistent and robust reporting processes. Foster relationships with various stakeholders across the organization to ensure effective collaboration. Utilize expert knowledge of financial principles and concepts in reporting, documenting all conclusions reached clearly. Engage in ad-hoc projects to ensure all issues are addressed and reported, supporting the implementation of enhancements to Legal Entity Reporting within LSM's Finance Change initiative. Compliance with all relevant regulatory requirements is integral to this role, as is the demonstration of behaviors outlined in the Conduct Risk Policy, aligning with LSM's commitment to Liberty Values, which prioritize customer-centricity and integrity.

Required Skills and Experience:

Qualified accountant or actively pursuing qualification. Strong knowledge of Luxembourg GAAP and/or other European GAAP (such as French, Spanish, German, Italian, Swiss) is advantageous. Solid understanding of the insurance sector and Solvency I and II regulatory frameworks is beneficial. Experience in financial statement reporting is a plus.

Ability to interpret and apply complex regulatory concepts in a flexible, business-oriented manner. Confidence in analyzing and manipulating data accurately. High proficiency in core MS Office applications, particularly Microsoft Excel. Experience with Power BI/Query/Pivot or Alteryx is beneficial.
