About the Role

As a Financial Planning and Analysis Specialist, you will be responsible for providing timely, accurate, and insightful management information and financial analysis regarding ceded reinsurance results across all actual, planning, and forecasting cycles. You will also be responsible for validating that management information, whether from the ledger or from AXA XL's planning tools, is accurate.

  • Work with the Senior Manager Ceded Re FP&A to build out analytic capabilities, respond to queries from the Head of FP&A and Divisional CFO, and improve BAU processes.

  • Support the quarterly ceded reinsurance close process for all three Insurance Regions, ensuring all material adjustments are included correctly in the financial statements.
  • Validate Plan and Reforecast results, working with the wider team to ensure inputs and assumptions are correct.
  • Actively engage in identifying and developing opportunities to streamline and enhance reporting capabilities with a focus on insight and foresight, rather than facts and information.
  • Build relationships, particularly with the Head of FP&A, to understand broader business analytical requirements and build out solutions to meet these.
  • Work within finance teams to develop broader Business Group goals, objectives, and strategy.
  • Support internal and external audit of ceded reinsurance results in the financials.
Requirements
  • Significant experience gained working within P&C (re)insurance, with demonstrated understanding of ceded reinsurance and insurance principles and IFRS insurance accounting concepts, and application thereof within the Financial Analysis environment.
  • Ability to navigate a global enterprise with a professional approach to successfully interact with all levels of the organization, to confidently articulate views and influence outcomes, to understand constituencies served and develop/leverage relationships necessary to be successful.
  • Robust analytical skills, with an inquisitive attitude, with attention to detail and an ability to link the results of their own work to the broader business results and strategies.
  • Experience with reporting/consolidation systems and advanced Microsoft Excel and presentation skills.
  • A proactive, self-starter, and self-motivator, that is adaptable in a fast-moving global environment with the capacity to manage time, work to tight deadlines, prioritize, and adjust to changing requirements.
