Job description

JOB TITLE: 164135 Finance Production Assistant

SALARY: £30,201

LOCATION(S): Bristol

HOURS: Full-time, 35 hours

WORKING PATTERN: Our work style is hybrid, which involves spending at least two days per week, or 40% of our time in the office.

Colleagues with disabilities can be supported with workplace adjustments including hybrid working expectations in line with our Flexibility Works policy.

Curious about actuarial modelling?

Bring your Finance expertise and discover a whole new side of Wealth & Insurance Finance.

We are looking for people with Finance process, accounting, reporting, controls or data experience who are curious, improvement-focused and ready for a fresh challenge.

You do not need an actuarial background to apply.

What you'll be doing:

Join the Actuarial Modelling Production team within Wealth & Insurance Finance and work at the intersection of Finance, data, technology and actuarial modelling.

You’ll support the processes behind modelling and financial reporting, from preparing inputs and running production using Prophet and R to delivering valuations, analysis of movement and sensitivities. No actuarial experience is required-just experience in Finance processes, accounting, reporting, controls or data, alongside curiosity, a drive to improve and a willingness to learn.

You’ll be part of a collaborative, supportive team where you can broaden your expertise, challenge existing ways of working and help deliver critical business outcomes.

In this role, you’ll:

• Run key actuarial production processes that support important Finance and reporting activities
• Prepare data and model inputs, running production systems and delivering high-quality outputs
• Investigate issues, getting to the root cause and taking action to resolve them
• Turn improvement ideas into practical changes that strengthen efficiency, controls and resilience, by exploring modernisation and automation of existing processes
• Work with colleagues across Finance, Actuarial and Technology to improve end-to-end delivery
• Build a strong understanding of how actuarial modelling supports financial reporting and business decision-making.

Why join us?

We’re on an exciting journey to transform our Group and the way we’re shaping finance for good. We’re focusing on the future, investing in our technologies, workplaces, and colleagues to make our Group a great place for everyone.

What we’re looking for?

• Minimum 2 years’ experience in any of accounting, financial reporting, finance operations, data processes, controls, governance, continuous improvement or transformation
• An enthusiasm for understanding how processes work and finding smarter, simpler ways to run them
• A practical and analytical approach to working with data, solving problems and investigating issues
• Curiosity, energy and a willingness to learn new systems, processes and technical concepts
• A collaborative style and the confidence to work with colleagues across different teams
• Pride in delivering accurate, high-quality outcomes and taking ownership of improvements.

And any experience of these would be great:

• Previous actuarial experience would be welcome, but it is not essential.

We know that great talent comes from many backgrounds. We recognise that skills are developed in many ways, so if you have relevant, transferable experience, we encourage you to apply.

This is a place for you:

Our ambition is to be the leading UK business for diversity, equity and inclusion supporting our customers, colleagues and communities and we’re committed to creating an environment in which everyone can thrive, learn and develop.

We also offer a wide-ranging benefits package, which includes:

• A generous pension contribution of up to 15%
• An annual performance-related bonus
• Share schemes including free shares
• Benefits you can adapt to your lifestyle, such as discounted shopping
• 24 days’ holiday, with bank holidays on top
• A range of wellbeing initiatives and generous parental leave policies
