The insurance controller role
Alan's insurance scope is growing fast: more complex reinsurance treaties, prévoyance (disability and death cover) moving in-house, new products and markets. At the same time, Finance is taking over the Solvency 2 balance sheet, which will be audited from 2028.
Alan is looking for a rigorous, ownership-driven insurance finance professional to own the prévoyance technical flows and the production of the Solvency 2 balance sheet. The role joins the Financial Controlling team (within Financial Reporting) and acts as the hub between Risk, Actuarial, Ops, Data and Strategy, as well as the main contact for reinsurers and external auditors. You'll know these numbers inside out: how they're produced, what business reality they reflect, and how to defend them to auditors, the ACPR and the Board. You read the source texts yourself (accounting rules, Solvency 2 regulation, treaty clauses), form your own view, and know when to escalate.
Responsibilities
•Prévoyance flows: own premiums, claims, technical provisions (mathematical and claims reserves) and related reinsurance, from P&L through balance sheet and cash
•Reinsurance accounting: manage reinsurance accounts, quarterly settlements and profit-sharing clauses, making sure the books reflect what the treaties actually say
•Solvency 2 balance sheet (solo and group): restate French GAAP to Solvency 2, challenge actuarial best estimates and risk margin, and track own funds quarter to quarter
•Regulatory reporting: prepare balance sheet and own-funds QRTs and write the balance-sheet section of the SFCR
•Audit readiness: be the single point of contact for auditors on Solvency 2, starting with the 2027 dry run, with documentation and controls always ready
•Monthly review: analyse and comment on your scope (P&L, balance sheet, variances, loss ratio and other insurance KPIs)
•Automation: turn manual computations into clear specs for the Finance Data team, and use data and AI to make closing faster and more reliable
•Business partnering: flag the accounting and solvency impact of new products, treaties or markets early and follow through to implementation
Requirements
•At least 5 years in insurance accounting, ideally Big 4 insurance audit followed by finance or reporting at an insurer
•Strong command of French GAAP insurance accounting (technical provisions, reinsurance, insurance P&L)
•Hands-on experience with the Solvency 2 balance sheet and QRTs
•Strong analytical skills: reconciling large datasets, bridging French GAAP to Solvency 2, spotting inconsistencies; comfortable with SQL and AI tools
•Organised, rigorous and comfortable building structure from ambiguity; able to close the loops and explain technical topics to actuaries, auditors and non-finance stakeholders alike
•Fluent in English and French
Big pluses
•Prévoyance experience (long-term reserves, mortality/disability tables, profit-sharing)
•Having built a Solvency 2 production process
•Actuarial knowledge
•IFRS 17
Conditions
•You must be legally eligible to work from France. The role is based in Paris.
•Remote work flexibility is offered, but in-person collaboration is valued.
