Finance Director, Advisory & Analytics

Miryco have been exclusively selected to partner with an Insurance & Reinsurance Advisory firm to hire a Finance Director, Advisory & Analytics. This is a founder-led insurance and reinsurance advisory seeking a commercial finance / analytics leader to work with Boards, management teams, actuarial teams and investors on high-impact assignments across the insurance sector. This is a rare opportunity for someone who wants to move beyond traditional reporting work into strategic decision support, hands-on commercial finance (MI, forecasting, controls, planning) and decision-grade analytics - while keeping the variety and intellectual pace of consulting. The role offers breadth with continuity: you’ll help deliver senior advisory work today, and, over time, can broaden into a wider finance leadership remit as the business grows.

What you’ll do

• You will lead delivery across two pillars, with additional exposure as the work expands.
• Translate complex financial/actuarial/capital information into clear, decision-useful insight for Boards and senior stakeholders.
• Build and run MI, performance dashboards, forecasts and scenario analyses that drive real decisions.
• Translate actuarial and financial insight into commercial conclusions for clients (capital strategy and deployment, performance, profitability, reserve / pricing implications).
• Develop clear views of portfolio performance and drivers (loss ratio, capital attribution, expense dynamics, mix).
• Partner with actuarial and underwriting stakeholders where relevant, supporting business-facing discussions.
• Prepare decision papers and stakeholder packs (commercial narrative + financial analysis) for senior conversations.

Finance leadership & operating model

• Design and implement practical finance operating models: close, controls, reporting packs, and governance.
• Own planning and financial management routines (budgeting, forecasting discipline, cashflow visibility), with appropriate support.
• Develop business cases, options analysis and KPI frameworks to support strategy and operating model changes.
• Oversee core commercial finance processes (including billing/invoicing, cash collection discipline and supplier payments), with appropriate support.
• Create scalable internal reporting and performance management as the business grows (decision-ready MI and KPIs, including utilisation/margin tracking where relevant), with strong governance processes.

As the work evolves (optional / where relevant)

• Support capital and transaction-related projects (e.g., portfolio solutions, third-party capital analysis, transaction economics).
• Contribute to building scalable reporting, governance and finance capability as the advisory grows.

Who this is for

• You are likely a commercial finance leader or qualified actuary (or equivalent experience), with 10+ years’ relevant experience.
• Strong insurance / reinsurance knowledge (London market experience a plus).
• Comfortable working directly with senior stakeholders and owning outputs end-to-end.
• Able to turn analysis into decisions, and communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Keen to be closer to commercial decision-making rather than purely technical work.
• Motivated by variety, autonomy and building something with a long runway.
• Variety like consulting, but with longer-term ownership and continuity.
• A role that can grow into broader leadership as the business expands.
• The chance to work across finance, analytics and strategy - without being boxed into a traditional lane.

What we offer

• Founder-led environment with direct access to senior decision-making.
• High trust, high autonomy and meaningful breadth of work.
• Competitive package with growth potential as responsibilities expand.
