- Develop new reports, metrics, and analysis that provide value-add insight and recommendations to the CIO and GA Leadership Team.
- Apply AI tools such as Microsoft Copilot to improve the speed and consistency of deliverables, and over time help embed AI and automation into the team's reporting workflows.
- Build and maintain deep institutional knowledge of the insurance and investment business, acting as a subject-matter resource for the reporting function.
- Maintain and progressively improve reporting processes and documentation to support the evolving needs of the business.
- Build strong relationships across functions and liaise with External Reporting and Communications teams on data and messaging for public dissemination.
- Contribute to elevating the storytelling and strategic narrative within GA reporting for executive and Board audiences.
Required Qualifications: - Bachelor's degree in accounting or finance, or equivalent experience (typically 5+ years) with investment industry knowledge.
- Demonstrated ownership and accountability, with a track record of independently managing deliverables end-to-end.
- Strong time management and a proven ability to deliver multiple priorities on time under tight, changing deadlines.
- Hands-on experience with AI productivity tools (e.g., Microsoft Copilot) and interest in applying them to improve reporting workflows.
- Excellent written and oral communication, with strong analysis and storytelling skills for effective deck production.
- Diligent and well-organized, with strong attention to detail and excellent analytical skills.
- Strong interpersonal skills, with the maturity to engage senior stakeholders directly.
Preferred Qualifications: - Proficiency with Microsoft Office (PowerPoint, Excel, Teams); PowerBI experience a bonus. CFA designation (in progress or complete) an asset.
