Beazley is transforming how it works — modernising systems, sharpening processes, and elevating Finance’s role in shaping strategic decisions. As the pace of change accelerates, we’re shifting from transactional project accounting to true business partnering that drives value, accountability, and benefits realisation. In this role, you’ll provide end to end financial leadership across Beazley’s strategic change initiatives. You’ll work closely with Strategy, Change, and business stakeholders to ensure costs and benefits are clearly understood, accurately tracked, and reflected in high quality reporting that enables confident decision making. Ultimately with platforms like Workday Financials and Adaptive Planning, automation and self-serve MI will free you to focus on insight, challenge, and investment appraisal — not mechanics. This is a role for someone who wants to shape commercial outcomes, influence senior stakeholders, and ensure Beazley makes the right investment choices for long term performance.
