Job Description

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.

Job Responsibility

  • Act as a trusted advisor to the Change portfolio, bringing financial insight to support strategic decisions
  • Influence decision-making early and hold stakeholders accountable for financial outcomes
  • Review and validate business cases, ensuring clear benefits, costs, risks and prioritisation
  • Support stakeholders in building strong business cases and securing funding
  • Provide robust financial challenge and ensure assumptions are documented and trackable
  • Lead cost-saving and efficiency initiatives that improve Beazley's financial cost base
  • Maintain a central baseline of benefits and costs for all change initiatives
  • Support teams to track benefits against business cases and explain variances
  • Ensure corrective actions are agreed and monitored
  • Analyse expense trends and deliver clear, actionable insights
  • Build accurate monthly forecasts and highlight risks, pressures, and opportunities
  • Present analysis in concise, executive-ready formats with clear narrative
  • Develop self-serve MI to shift focus from mechanics to value-add insight
  • Ensure timely and accurate cost recognition and insightful month-end commentary
  • Apply appropriate capitalisation in line with accounting policy
  • Anticipate variances early and maintain a 'no surprises' approach
  • Maintain a monthly risk and opportunity view across programmes
  • Uphold strong financial controls and adherence to policy
  • Drive process improvement initiatives to modernise ways of working
  • Use Copilot, AI, Adaptive and Workday to automate reporting and reduce manual effort
  • Embed system-led reporting and reduce reliance on spreadsheets

Requirements

  • Qualified accountant (ACA/ACCA/CIMA) with portfolio or complex programme experience in technology-enabled change within Financial Services
  • A track record of business case appraisal and benefits realisation, including post-implementation reviews
  • Able to design visually compelling, executive-ready presentations that clearly communicate complex financial insights and strategic narratives
  • Strong commercial challenge and clear recommendation writing for senior audiences
  • Month-end, forecasting and capitalisation discipline with a pragmatic, 'no surprises' mindset

Nice to have

  • Insurance/Lloyd's familiarity
  • Experience with agile funding or product-centric operating models
  • Experience with Workday/Adaptive and Power BI (or similar)
  • Line-management or matrix leadership of analysts

What we offer

  • Competitive salary and discretionary bonus
  • Commuting reimbursement
  • Free in-office lunch
  • Excellent parental leave
  • Financial physical and mental wellbeing contributions
