JOB DESCRIPTION

When you join, you’ll take on varied and high-profile work. It’s an exciting role to take on, as you’ll have many different responsibilities. You’ll focus on anything from the newer firms who have a more innovative approach, through to some of the larger insurers.
Day-to-day, you’ll use your analytical skills to deliver assessments and understand any risks these firms might pose. To do this, you’ll interact with firms and build an understanding of how they work. And when things don’t look quite right, you’ll investigate issues and dig deeper.
You’ll share your findings with the wider internal team and work closely with senior leaders across the UK and international Insurance firms. Everything you do will help to ensure our supervisory strategy is being implemented. The mixture of high-profile work and complex issues means you’ll have plenty of opportunities to develop both your technical and interpersonal skills.
