Our Client Support Services department has an opportunity for a Fiduciary Accounting Specialist, Legacy Resolution with our Fiduciary Team. This is available on a hybrid basis, offering home working for 2 days, with the other 3 days based in our office in Witham.

As a Fiduciary Accounting Specialist, you will be responsible for the accounting and settlement duties through the investigation and resolution of aged and or complex matters.

We are open to experience from a broad range of roles within the reinsurance or insurance sectors, but you will need significant experience of accounting and settlement activities to be successful within this role.

• Liaise effectively with CSS and Guy Carpenter client‑facing colleagues where necessary to ensure a coordinated approach is taken.
• Ensure a clear audit trail in relation to work undertaken, especially for complex and historic matters.
• Develop and maintain clear working papers supporting investigative work undertaken and/or methodologies used to support conclusions or proposals to senior management such as utilisation of reserves or application of Guy Carpenter credit write‑back policy and/or processing of complex accounts.
• Support wider CSS activities where required, including but not limited to quarterly review of potential financial exposures, delivery of key performance targets or other significant business objectives.
• Take management of the most complex client base, which includes unique lines of business, program structures and reinsurance reporting requirements. Duties include transactional processing, follow‑up and securing reinsurance recoveries, collateral, and timely and accurate system entry of all assigned client activity.

What you need to have:

• Bureau, Accounts & Settlement knowledge.
• Experience using Open Twins, CLASS and IMR Systems would be highly beneficial.
• Track record of successful client account management, relationship management, engagement and development.
• Successful management of workload; able to manage expectations of all clients and stakeholders.

• A strong client focus and good at problem solving to reconcile and unravel payment queries.
