Senior Executive, Finance & Actuarial in London

This is a high-profile role that shapes how finance and actuarial practices evolve across the Lloyd’s market. Acting as a trusted bridge between market participants and the Corporation of Lloyd’s, it leads the design and delivery of market-wide initiatives that improve the effectiveness, efficiency and consistency of finance and actuarial functions in the market. The role also provides a unique opportunity to influence how the capital efficiency and financial performance components of the Lloyd’s 2026 strategy are interpreted and implemented, helping to deliver tangible benefits to the Lloyd’s market.

Unlike in-house roles, this position provides visibility across the entire Lloyd’s market, offering direct engagement with CFOs, Chief Actuaries and senior stakeholders, and access to market-wide financial and actuarial insights.

The Lloyd’s Market Association (LMA) represents the interests of all 56 Lloyd’s managing agents and all Lloyd’s members’ agents, who together underwrite approximately £56.2 billion of risk in 2025. The purpose of the LMA is to make the market a better place and in so doing, maintain the Lloyd’s market’s position as the pre-eminent leader in specialty and commercial risk. We seek to make the market a better place in five fundamental ways:

• Advocating on behalf of our members with key stakeholders, including governments, regulators and the Corporation of Lloyd’s.
• Providing technical and professional support, from developing model policy wordings to guidance on regulatory and legislative requirements.
• Offering award-winning LMA Academy training for underwriting, claims, finance, risk and operations professionals.
• Driving forward a digitalisation agenda for the market.
• Advocating for an inclusive culture within the market.

Collaboration is at the core of what we do. We engage closely with our members to understand and tackle the issues that matter most, and we partner with Lloyd’s and other market associations to help shape the future of the marketplace.

The role leads industry committees, convening subject matter experts to generate data-led insight. It identifies key friction points across the market and translates them into practical, consensus-driven solutions that deliver measurable improvements for managing agents.

• Own and deliver high-impact market initiatives, operating with a high degree of autonomy to drive projects that shape how the Lloyd’s market operates in practice.
• Generate market-leading financial insight, leveraging syndicate-level data and broader market intelligence to provide a unique, cross-market perspective on performance, trends and emerging issues.
• Support and strengthen the LMA’s financial management, partnering closely with the Finance & Risk Director.
• Champion a high-performing, inclusive team culture, fostering strong collaboration, open communication and shared ownership.
