The client is a life/annuity/reinsurance carrier that has gone public. A robust finance infrastructure has been created around SEC Reporting, Consolidations, Controls, Actuarial, and there is an ongoing focus on Investor Relations and building out a robust FP&A function. Due to a recent promotion, there is a need for a strong Corporate Controller with a life/annuity/reinsurance background who will complement the ongoing strengthening of the finance function supporting the future state. Relevant experience includes Accounting Policy, ModCo, and FWH, but the key ability for this role is to establish a robust close process.

2. Provide oversight for statutory and separate account reporting, collaborating with other direct reports to the CAO.
3. Analyze financial results with business unit and legal entity controllers, present findings to senior management, and align results with budgets and forecasts.
4. Enhance the control environment and implement process improvements in financial reporting, managing audits with external and internal auditors.
5. Prepare presentations for the Board of Directors and its committees, and mentor junior team members.
6. Demonstrate operational expertise in US GAAP, statutory, and SEC reporting, with advanced problem-solving skills.
7. Show strong business and financial acumen, change management, and project management skills, with a history of upgrading functions and fostering continuous improvement.
8. Optimize system platforms and streamline processes, including the financial close, leading an organization of at least 20 professionals.
9. Exhibit influential leadership, adaptable leadership styles, and excellent communication skills.
10. Display resilience and tenacity, persevering through challenges.
