About the Company
A domestic insurance company modernising its operations team is looking for a Finance Business Partner to sit alongside its claims and customer-servicing leaders, and has engaged Flexiple for the search. Flexiple is a managed marketplace that helps companies find experienced hires and introduces only profiles it has already assessed. The operations function has grown quickly, but its cost visibility has not kept up, and leaders want a finance partner who can turn numbers into decisions.
The Mandate
You will be the finance counterpart for the operations heads, responsible for budgeting, forecasting, cost analysis and business cases. You report into the finance head with a strong dotted line to the chief operating officer, and you will have a seat in monthly business reviews.
What You Will Own

Analyse expense ratios, cost per claim and cost per policy and explain movements to business leaders
Evaluate business cases for automation, vendor changes and headcount, with clear return and payback views
Prepare monthly management packs with commentary the business can use, not just variance tables
Work with the controllership team to keep provisions, accruals and vendor commitments accurate
Challenge spend assumptions constructively, and escalate where a decision carries financial or regulatory risk
Develop simple dashboards in Excel or a BI tool that operations managers can read themselves
What You Bring
6 to 10 years in finance, with at least 3 in FP and A or business partnering
Qualified CA, CMA or MBA Finance
Strong financial modelling and Excel skills, and practical experience with a planning tool or BI platform
Ability to explain financial concepts to non-finance leaders without jargon
Experience in insurance, banking or financial services is valuable
An Advantage
Familiarity with insurance regulatory reporting and IRDAI norms
Experience supporting transformation or automation programmes
Comfort with SQL or data tools
What the Seat Offers
Direct visibility to senior leadership through monthly business reviews
A chance to shape finance partnering from the start in a company that is modernising
Long-term role at an established domestic insurer with a stable balance sheet
Hybrid working with a settled office rhythm
How Hiring Works
HR Screening, followed by a case study on a cost-per-claim analysis, a Panel Round with the finance head and the operations leader, and a final Leadership conversation with the COO.
Flexiple keeps the same application in play for future finance roles that match your background.
