    The opportunity:



    An amazing chance has emerged to join the Planning and Performance Reporting (PPR) team in a new position focused on providing enhanced insight to our senior stakeholders. The PPR team is key to PPM (Planning and Performance Management) and is at the forefront of financial performance management in the UK, covering both the UK P&C and Life businesses. We are a vibrant and adaptable team that excels in direct interaction with the UK CFO, CEO, and senior leaders within the UK and at Group level. Our team is diverse in backgrounds, driven by energy, with a continuous thirst for learning and a commitment to high standards.


    We are seeking a driven candidate to serve as the Strategic Planning analyst and bring a more profound analytical perspective to unify performance insights across the UK. The provided insights will aid the PPM contributions to the UK Executive Committee, the Virtuous Circle, and the Business Unit Review (BUR) processes, focusing on enhancing the depth of analysis for strategic decision-making. This role plays a key part in how PPM influences business performance going forward, collaborating closely with underwriting, reserving, and claims.


    Many of our team members work flexibly in various ways, including part-time arrangements, flexible hours, job sharing, some remote work, or compressed hours. Our aim is to recruit the best talent for our roles, understanding that sometimes those individuals may not be available full-time. Feel free to discuss needed flexibility during the interview.


    What will you be doing?


    The job involves:
    • Leading PPM analysis on emerging topics through conducting mini-projects and leading discussions at the UK Executive Committee to assist in shaping commercial and financial strategies for improved outcomes.
    • Collaborating with Business Partners, Actuarial, Underwriting, and Claims teams to gather insights and work collectively on identifying trends and recommendations.
    • Providing an external perspective by monitoring market trends and incorporating external views into the analysis.
    • Contributing to UK Business Unit Reviews (BUR) by closely working with senior stakeholders in Finance and other business areas.
    • Supporting the development, implementation, and ongoing delivery of the UK 18-month rolling financial forecast. This forecast will aid in strategic UK business planning and target setting for the complete planning process.
    • Aiding in developing ad hoc financial models and analyses to aid in supporting initiatives.
    • Exhibiting a mindset of continuous improvement and assisting with other PPR activities as needed.
    The role reports to the Head of Planning & Performance Reporting.


    What are we looking for?


    We seek:
    • A track record demonstrating deep insights or advanced analytical thinking.
    • Strong problem-solving skills and high agility levels.
    • An enthusiastic and curious individual with a strong willingness to engage, participate, and make contributions.
    • A quick learner who takes ownership of tasks when required.
    • An understanding of insurance financial performance frameworks is advantageous but not mandatory.
    • Experience in building and managing relationships with various stakeholders across multiple functions.
    • Strong communication skills capable of tailoring messages to different stakeholders, including members of the Executive Committee.
    • The ability to grasp the bigger picture while maintaining keen attention to detail.
    • The role offers significant opportunities for progression and development.


    What happens next?


    As an inclusive employer, we aim to ensure all candidates feel at ease and can perform optimally during the interview. You will have the chance to indicate any necessary adjustments or support during the application process.


    Who we are:


    At Zurich, we strive to be a responsible and impactful business globally and the premier global insurer. Together, we are shaping a brighter future for our customers, our team, and our planet.


    With a workforce of over 55,000 across 170+ countries, you will experience the backing of a robust and reliable company that has long been a significant player in the insurance sector.


    We have made commitments to one another and every employee: focusing on sustainable impact, caring for each other's well-being, leveraging our diverse expertise to cultivate curiosity and optimism, and acquiring the skills necessary for our future.


    If you are keen on working in a dynamic and stimulating environment for a company that values and recognizes your creativity, initiatives, and contributions, then Zurich is the place for you. Join us in something extraordinary.

Collaborating with well-being partners and industry experts, we provide top-notch advice and access to various lifestyle support services. Additionally, we are committed to continuous enhancement and offer a broad range of training and development opportunities.
