Your Role
This is more than a traditional Syndicate Reporting Manager role. While technical excellence remains at its core, this opportunity has an equally strong focus on developing people, evolving processes and using technology to enhance how regulatory reporting is delivered.
Reporting to the Head of Syndicate Finance, you will lead the delivery of financial and regulatory reporting across Apollo's managed Lloyd's syndicates while playing a pivotal role in developing an established team, strengthening reporting controls and identifying opportunities to further improve efficiency through process enhancement, automation and the continued evolution of Solvency UK reporting.
Working alongside an experienced leadership team, you'll bring a strong coaching and development focus while helping drive the continued evolution of syndicate reporting. You'll work closely with Digital Solutions to reduce manual intervention where appropriate and continue evolving reporting processes through automation and smarter ways of working.

- Provide day-to-day leadership, guidance and performance management.

Enhance reporting efficiency and controls
