About Us

We are a rapidly growing global life reinsurer operating across Europe, Asia, North America, and Australia. Our business is built on managing long‑duration mortality, longevity, and morbidity risks, requiring strong balance sheet discipline, robust liquidity management, and sophisticated capital and risk frameworks.

As one of the largest and most experienced participants in the global longevity market, and with continued expansion in the funded reinsurance market, we are executing increasingly complex transactions across multiple currencies, jurisdictions, and regulatory regimes. Treasury plays a critical role in enabling this growth, supporting capital efficiency, funding structures, FX risk management, and claims‑paying resilience as the business scales.

We are currently partway through a major back‑office transformation program (Project Unify) and have recently reorganised into a Line of Business operating model. Together, these changes are reshaping how Finance and Treasury operate, modernising systems, strengthening governance, and positioning Treasury as a more strategic partner to the business as transaction complexity and international scale continue to increase.

Our culture is professional, collaborative, and performance‑driven, with an emphasis on sustainable workloads, leadership development, and long‑term career growth.

Job Description

This is a senior Treasury leadership role with clear ownership of international treasury operations and a defined mandate to deliver scalable, global treasury capability in support of Divisions and key stakeholders, while shaping and influencing enterprise treasury strategy. Based in London, the role is critical to enabling the continued growth and increasing deal complexity of a global reinsurance business operating across multiple jurisdictions.

The VP is accountable for international liquidity, funding structures, FX risk management, and banking relationships, operating with decision‑making authority within established policies. In parallel, the role partners closely with the Group Treasurer while retaining clear accountability for international execution to influence enterprise‑level treasury strategy, governance, and transformation, acting as a senior leader within the global treasury function.

Leadership is central to the role.

The VP will build and develop a high‑performing international treasury team, strengthening capability, judgment, and depth across the function. The scope and enterprise exposure of the role provide meaningful influence across the wider Treasury organisation, while delivering immediate, measurable impact for the business.
