Job Description - Director of Financial Reporting and Operations

Director of Financial Reporting & Operations - Financial Controller (Insurance)
Gerrard White has been retained on an exclusive basis to secure this critical leadership hire for a rapidly-scaling UK insurance group.

The mandate
Reporting directly to the CFO, you will:
  • Own and lead the external narrative - ensure delivery of flawless UK GAAP, IFRS and Solvency II packs, board papers and audit interface.
  • Oversight and lead first-line control & operations – cash, treasury, AP, Oracle GL, Blackline; tighten governance, eliminate surprises.
  • Modernise the finance stack – spearhead system, data and process automation; lead finance integration for future M&A.
  • Safeguard – ensure SMCR, data-privacy and operational-risk frameworks are embedded and lived.
  • Lead and inspire high performing teams, coach future leaders and raise the bar.
The profile we are seeking:
  • Senior finance head in Insurance with deep IFRS 17 & Solvency II exposure.
  • Track record designing and executing finance-transformation or PMI programmes.
  • Proven builder of robust first-line financial controls inside fast-growth, regulated environments.
  • Gravitas to influence ExCo, Audit Committee and regulators; EQ to keep teams engaged.
  • Qualified accountant (ACA/ACCA/CIMA) with a tech-curious mindset.
Why move
  • Blueprint authority – CFO wants a partner to architect tomorrow’s finance function, not just maintain today’s.
  • Board visibility – direct impact on strategic decisions, M&A and capital agenda.
  • Growth runway – as the group scales (organic + M&A), your remit and influence scale with it.
  • Package – competitive base and bonuses (combination of personal and company performance), plus true flexibility.
  • Confidential process - Initial conversations will be with Gerrard White’s Executive Search team. All approaches are handled in strict confidence; no CVs leave our desk without your consent.
