Responsibilities

• You’ll own the annual budget, quarterly forecasts and medium‑term plans. And you’ll make sure they’re robust, timely and clearly linked to our strategy.
• You’ll translate strategic priorities into financial plans that surface trade‑offs, risks and opportunities – so leaders can act with confidence.
• You’ll lead performance reporting that explains not just what happened, but why it matters and what comes next. You’ll challenge assumptions, cost drivers and delivery plans, and help senior leaders spot issues early and take action fast.
• You’ll build trusted relationships across Finance and the wider business, becoming a go‑to adviser on performance and priorities. You’ll prepare clear, concise material for the Executive Team and Lloyd’s Council, and represent FP&A in cross‑functional and strategic discussions, ensuring financial implications are understood early.
• You’ll lead the end‑to‑end planning and reporting cycle – from month‑end to budget – raising standards and pace. You’ll also help modernise our approach, using technology and automation so the team spends less time producing numbers and more time adding value.
• You’ll lead, coach and develop a small team of analysts, creating clarity, building capability and supporting high performance, and play an active role in the wider leadership of FP&A, acting as a role model for how we work.

Qualifications and Experience

Essential: Strong experience in FP&A, finance business partnering or performance management, ideally in a complex organisation. Track record of leading budgeting, forecasting and performance reporting that influences senior decision‑making. Confidence to engage, influence and challenge senior stakeholders constructively.

Desirable: Ability to turn complex financial data into clear, commercial insight. Strong judgement, attention to detail and communication skills. A recognised accountancy qualification (ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent), or equivalent experience. Experience with tools like Anaplan or Workday is helpful, but not essential.

Diversity and Inclusion

Diversity and inclusion are a focus for us – Lloyd's aims to build a diverse, inclusive environment that reflects the global markets we work in. One where everyone is treated with dignity and respect to achieve their full potential. In practice, this means we are positive and inclusive about making workplace adjustments, offer regular health and wellbeing programmes, diversity and inclusion training, employee networks, mentoring and volunteering opportunities as well as investment into your professional development.

Benefits

We understand that our work/life balance is important to us all and that a hybrid of working from the office and home can offer a great level of flexibility. Flexible working forms part of a total reward approach which offers a host of other benefits over and above the standard offering (generous pension, healthcare, wellbeing etc). These include financial support for training, education & development, a benefit allowance (to spend on our flexible benefits such as gym membership, dental insurance, extra holiday or to partake in our cycle to work scheme), employee recognition scheme and various employee discount schemes.
