FP&A Senior/Director - General Insurance

FP&A DIRECTOR / SENIOR DIRECTOR

Retail General Insurance | APAC

Numbers with influence. Strategy with impact.

The Opportunity

This is a role for a finance leader who wants to be more than a scorekeeper — someone who sits inside the business, shapes its direction, and turns financial insight into commercial advantage.

As Director/Senior Director, you'll be the strategic financial partner to the leadership of a major retail general insurance division. You'll own the numbers, but more importantly, you'll own the story behind them — guiding pricing, underwriting and claims decisions with sharp financial thinking.

If you want a seat at the table rather than a report to file, this is it.

What You'll Own

✔Financial Strategy & Leadership

• Partner with leadership to shape and execute financial strategy across the retail general insurance book
• Provide the financial insight behind pricing, underwriting and claims decisions
• Lead the department's financial planning, budgeting and forecasting

✔Financial Planning & Analysis

• Analyse revenue, expenses, profitability and KPIs — and tell senior leadership what it actually means
• Build and present financial reports, dashboards and variance analyses that drive real decisions
• Spot trends, flag risks, and recommend the moves that optimise financial performance

✔Operations Management

• Work hand-in-glove with underwriting, claims and operations to keep financial and operational goals aligned
• Support pricing model development and ensure reserving practices hold up under scrutiny
• Keep a tight grip on expense management and resource efficiency
• Ensure the division stays airtight on financial reporting standards, regulatory requirements and internal policy
• Oversee statutory filings and regulatory submissions
• Be the trusted point of contact for auditors and regulators

✔Risk Management

• Assess financial risk across underwriting, claims and market conditions — and build the mitigation strategies to match
• Partner with actuarial teams to stress-test loss reserves and ensure adequacy

✔People Management

• Lead and mentor a team of finance professionals, building a culture of accountability and continuous improvement
• Build the cross-functional relationships that keep the whole business pulling in the same direction

✔Systems & Procedures Improvement

• Put financial systems and tools to work, sharpening reporting, analytics and decision-making
• Drive process improvements that make finance faster, cleaner and more accurate

✔ Real understanding of the retail general insurance market — underwriting, claims and reinsurance dynamics

✔ Sharp analytical instincts, with the ability to turn complex financial data into clear, actionable insight

✔ Communication and influence — you can hold a room from the finance team to the executive table
