Technical & Accounts Assistant Insurance - 15-18 month fixed term contract - Full Time. Two disciplines. One role. Zero boring days! Most people in financial services get pigeonholed early. Technical or accounts. Operations or finance. This role doesn't do that. We're working with a well-capitalised, internationally respected insurer with a serious London market pedigree - writing worldwide property treaty reinsurance and growing. Small team, real visibility, and a genuine opportunity to build a skillset that most people in the market spend years trying to piece together separately. They need a switched-on Technical & Accounts Assistant who can help across both the underwriting support and finance functions - someone who takes pride in accuracy, thrives on variety, and wants to understand how the whole business fits together. The Role This is a broad, hands-on position sitting across two functions - and that's the point. No two days look the same, and your contribution will be felt across the business from day one. On the technical side you'll be entering treaty slips onto the system, maintaining underwriting files, producing quarterly bordereaux for outwards quota share reinsurers, preparing premium adjustment reports and MI, supporting claims administration and credit control, and getting exposure to Solvency II and IFRS17 work alongside the wider underwriting team. On the accounts side you'll be handling premium and claims reconciliations, reinsurance accounting including recoveries, invoices and payments, banking operations and investment monitoring. You'll also get exposure to Trial Balance preparation, VAT workings and fixed asset register maintenance - working alongside senior colleagues rather than owning them outright. A solid grounding in how a regulated insurer's finances actually work What we're looking for Familiarity working within insurance, London market Experience with maintaining underwriting files - specific property treaty exposure a real bonus. An immediate starter (or someone on short notice) You will bring: Good excel skills - using VLOOKUPs, IF functions, and pivot tables with ease Experience with Eclipse and/or SQL required What's On Offer £35,000 £42,500 per annum 9.30am 5.30pm, Monday to Friday Full-time, 18-month fixed term contract Hybrid working after probation Private healthcare The stability and backing of a major international insurance group Rare dual-discipline exposure across technical underwriting support and insurance finance from day one
