Oliver James

Oliver James is delighted to be partnering with a highly sophisticated, asset manager‑backed insurance platform to appoint a Senior Finance Leader in the insurance industry. Our client is a publicly listed investment vehicle backed by an established global alternative asset manager, with deep roots across private credit, structured finance, and insurance solutions. The platform is in an active build‑out phase, deploying capital across reinsurance, in‑force blocks, and strategic insurance acquisitions.

The Opportunity This is a rare opportunity for a senior life insurance finance professional to step into a broad, value‑creating leadership role with genuine influence over balance sheet strategy, capital deployment, and platform expansion. Initially anchored in technical accounting and reporting excellence, the role will naturally evolve into a CFO‑level remit as the insurance platform scales.

Key Focus Areas

Ownership of statutory and GAAP financial reporting for life insurance and reinsurance entities

Oversight of regulatory filings, Blue Book submissions, and regulator engagement

Leadership across accounting operations, close processes, and external reporting

Balance sheet stewardship spanning capital, liquidity, investments, and reinsurance structures

Financial planning, forecasting, and analytics to support growth and transaction activity

Active participation in M&A, block acquisitions, and post‑deal integration

Collaboration with investment, actuarial, tax, and executive stakeholders

Ideal Background

Extensive experience within life insurance or annuity finance leadership

Deep technical grounding in US STAT and GAAP insurance accounting

Strong exposure to annuity products (MYGA, FIA preferred) and reinsurance structures

Proven ability to operate in fast‑moving, transaction‑driven environments

Senior‑level communication skills with boards, executives, and external partners

CPA, CFA, or MBA strongly preferred

This role offers exceptional scope, visibility, and long‑term upside within a capital‑backed insurance growth platform.
