Inside IR35


This is a contract opportunity for someone who is an experienced Finance Project Manager with a strong track record of delivering complex finance and reporting initiatives within a large corporate environment. This role would suit a proactive individual who can quickly establish effective governance, coordinate multiple stakeholders, and ensure the successful delivery of critical financial reporting activities to demanding timelines.


You will be comfortable operating in a fast-paced environment, managing competing priorities, and driving accountability across finance teams and key business stakeholders. The successful candidate will be able to work autonomously while building strong collaborative relationships to ensure delivery of key reporting and planning milestones.


Key Responsibilities

  • Reporting Cycle & Governance: Drive the planning, tracking, and execution of milestones against the Quarterly Financial Reporting Working Day Timetable (WDT).
  • Specialized Financial Deliverables: Project manage the Assumptions Setting and Impact Assessment processes, as well as out-of-cycle reporting exercises (including IFRS Sensitivities, Internal View reporting, and Expected Return exercises).
  • Operational Facilitation: Lead daily reporting stand-ups and project calls; capture actions, issues, and dependencies; and establish clear escalation channels for risks.
  • Continuous Improvement: Plan and facilitate post-reporting debriefs, document lessons learned, and drive the implementation of process enhancements for future cycles.
  • Stakeholder Alignment: Act as the primary interface across Finance, Actuarial, Investment, Risk, and business leadership to ensure functional alignment and milestone delivery.
  • Status & Reporting: Produce executive-ready status updates, dashboards, and PowerPoint presentations for senior leadership.


Required Skills & Experience

  • Background: Proven experience as a Finance Project Manager or PMO Lead within Financial Services, Insurance, or a similarly regulated corporate environment.
  • Domain Expertise: In-depth understanding of financial reporting cycles, governance frameworks, and IFRS processes.
  • Stakeholder Management: Outstanding verbal and written communication skills, with the confidence and presence to influence and hold senior stakeholders accountable under tight deadlines.
  • Execution & Structure: Strong track record in risk, issue, dependency, and action tracking (RAID management) within fast-paced environments.
  • Tooling & Tech: Proficiency in Excel, PowerPoint, MS Project, and MS Teams, with exposure to reporting tools such as Neurons, Plana, or Loop considered an advantage.


Preferred Candidate Attributes

  • High level of autonomy with the ability to bring structure to complex financial workflows.
  • Strong problem-solving mindset focused on refining operational efficiency and reporting quality.


Please ensure that you attach an up-to-date CV to your application.


What We Offer

  • Opportunity to play a key role in a major post‑acquisition integration initiative.
  • Exposure to senior stakeholders and strategic decision‑making.
  • Collaborative, supportive environment with strong emphasis on delivery excellence.
  • Hybrid working and competitive benefits.


We’re inclusive and welcome everyone – we want applications from all backgrounds and experiences.

Excited but not sure you tick every box? Even if you don’t, we’d still encourage you to apply.

We also consider all forms of flexible working, including part‑time and job‑share options.

We flex locations, hours and working patterns to suit our customers, the business and you. Most of our people smart‑work, spending at least 50% of their time in an Aviva office each week.


We’d love you to apply online. If you need a different way to apply, or have questions, please contact me at Katyayani.pathak@aviva.com
