The role: Commercial Finance Manager

As we continue to scale, we’re looking for a Commercial Finance Manager to take ownership of premium reporting, sales and payment reconciliation processes, and financial controls while playing a key role in automation and efficiency improvements. This role reports to the Global Head of Finance and will be instrumental in ensuring financial accuracy, compliance, and process optimisation.

You will oversee key financial reporting and reconciliation processes, ensuring robust financial controls and compliance with underwriter agreements. You will lead a team of two Finance Data Analysts and work closely with internal and external stakeholders to maintain revenue and payment reporting, along with improving automation, streamline financial processes, and drive efficiency across the whole team.

This is a fantastic opportunity for a hands-on finance professional who thrives in a data-driven finance role and enjoys optimising reporting and reconciliation processes.

Your mission

  • Manage a team of two Finance Data Analysts.
  • Oversee all premium BDX reporting to underwriters.
  • Ensure payment BDX reporting to underwriters is fully reconciled with trust accounts and against premium reporting.

Financial Control & Compliance

  • Identify and implement efficiencies and automation to eliminate manual processes.
  • Drive continuous process improvements for revenue protection and financial control.

What we’re looking for

  • Strong experience in financial reporting, large-scale reconciliations, and process automation, with a focus on efficiency and accuracy.
  • Highly analytical, data-driven mindset, capable of extracting key insights from financial data and translating them into actionable business recommendations.
  • Knowledge of financial compliance and regulatory frameworks. Experience within a financial services environment is a plus.
  • Proficiency in financial technology and automation tools, leveraging technology to streamline reporting and reconciliation processes. Experience implementing or optimising finance tech stacks is a plus.
  • Hands-on approach, thriving in a fast-paced, high-growth environment.
  • Commercial mindset, understanding how financial data can drive operational and strategic decision-making.
  • Management experience would be nice but not essential.
  • Professional finance qualifications (ACA, ACCA, CIMA) are desirable but 5 years+ experience is just as good.
