Job Requirements/Description
Finance Systems Accountant

Your new company
This is a confidential opportunity to join a global reinsurer undergoing a major finance transformation. With a strong international footprint and a reputation for innovation, the business offers a collaborative, high-performing culture that values work-life balance, professional development, and employee wellbeing.

Your new role
As a Finance Systems Accountant, you will be a key member of the Global Finance Transformation team, responsible for delivering finance system changes and supporting long-term transformation initiatives. Your responsibilities will include:

  • Leading and supporting finance system upgrades, enhancements, and implementations.
  • Managing finance data structures, hierarchies, and mappings to ensure integrity and consistency.
  • Troubleshooting system issues and ensuring smooth change control processes.
  • Collaborating with global teams and external partners to deliver transformation projects.
  • Creating clear, stakeholder-friendly documentation and managing testing and rollout phases.
  • This is a highly visible role with global reach, offering the opportunity to influence and improve finance operations across multiple regions.

    What you'll need to succeed
    To be successful in this role, you'll be a qualified finance professional (ACA/ACCA/CIMA). You must have hands-on experience with finance system implementation or data migrations, as this is a core requirement. A strong understanding of finance processes, controls, and data integrity is essential, along with the ability to work independently and manage competing priorities in a fast-paced environment. While experience in the insurance industry is advantageous, it's not a prerequisite. Familiarity with SAP or Oracle-based finance systems will be highly beneficial. You'll need excellent communication skills to collaborate effectively with global teams and stakeholders.

    What you'll get in return
    In return, you'll receive a competitive salary of £65,000-£75,000 plus bonus, along with a comprehensive benefits package that includes 25 days of annual leave (with the option to buy or sell days), private medical insurance for you and your dependents, and a generous 15% combined pension contribution.
    Beyond the financials, this is a highly visible role with global reach, offering the opportunity to influence and improve finance operations across multiple regions. You'll be joining a business at a pivotal point in its transformation journey, giving you exposure to senior stakeholders and the chance to shape how finance systems evolve across the organisation. The company also places a strong emphasis on work-life balance, professional development, and employee wellbeing, making it a supportive and rewarding environment to grow your career.
