Job Description

Our client, an insurance company is looking for a Balance Sheet Manager to support the capital management department.

He/she will be in charge of the following tasks :

• As senior analyst, you are not only working on your own success, but also that of your colleagues. For example, you share your expertise with others and encourage the growth and development of the people you work with.
• You optimise the risk profile, on both side of the balance sheet. By reviewing the effect of various strategic tactical asset allocations from a risk/return perspective, as well as optimising the value creation of the life insurance obligations of the company and plans to sell.
• You will work closely with senior management and report to them about financial movements, strategic developments and growth opportunities.
• You keep a close eye on changes to regulations and standards in the sector (particularly Solvency II, IFRS, Belgian GAAP, etc.). Your advice and the impact they may have on our business will be leveraged to steer further refinements in the team and the company’s strategy.
• To achieve this, you coordinate and centralize inputs & calculations from different team members and departments and ensure the impact of strategic discussion and/or (external) events is clearly reflected in the key financial indicators that are used by senior management in their decision making.
• Your skills to turn available data into meaningful and interactive reports will constantly be put to the test. You’re always thinking about the next insight and structure your analysis in such a way that they can be easily “sliced and diced” to provide additional clarification.
