A leading financial services organisation is seeking a senior leader to take ownership of its investment operations and reporting function. This is a high-impact role sitting at the heart of finance, investment, risk and treasury - ideal for someone with deep experience across middle and back office operations, liquidity risk, collateral management, and investment reporting in a life insurance or similarly regulated environment.
This is a 6 month contract with an expectation of 2/3 days in the London office.
The Opportunity:
This role is responsible for overseeing a large team and managing strategic relationships across finance, actuarial, risk, capital management and investment functions. You will:
Own and lead end-to-end investment operations, from trade validation to settlements, investment accounting, and reporting.
Lead the short-term liquidity management framework and reporting across group entities.
Oversee collateral management for derivative and reinsurance arrangements.
Be the business owner for a group-wide Treasury Management System (TMS).
Chair or contribute to key committees, including ALCO and Complex Asset Valuation.
About You:
You're an experienced investment operations or treasury leader with:
A strong background in life insurance, pensions, or another regulated financial institution.
Experience in middle and back office investment operations, collateral management, and investment reporting (IFRS, Solvency II, regulatory).
Knowledge of complex illiquid asset classes and Treasury Management Systems (ideally Quantum).
Experience engaging with senior stakeholders across finance, capital, risk, actuarial and legal.
An accountancy or actuarial qualification is required; treasury or investment qualifications would be advantageous.
Why Join?
This is a rare opportunity to shape the investment operations of a financially strong and ambitious organisation. You'll lead a high-performing team, drive improvements across systems and processes, and play a key role in supporting a business that is helping people achieve financial security in later life.
