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.
