About the Role
The Company is seeking a VP, Controller for Global GAAP Accounting Policy.
This pivotal role is dedicated to the development, implementation, and maintenance of a robust GAAP accounting policy across a global insurance platform.
The successful candidate will be responsible for creating a consistent and defensible GAAP framework in a complex, multi-jurisdiction operating environment.
This hands-on position demands a leader who can work closely with senior management, particularly in the early stages of the role, to ensure that the policy is not only theoretical but also practical and effective in real-time operations.
The ideal candidate for this role at The Company will have a deep expertise in GAAP accounting policy, strong technical judgment, and a proactive, autonomous approach to their work.
They should be comfortable operating in ambiguity, prefer to build and implement frameworks, and be adept at partnering with commercial and operating teams.
Experience in public accounting or complex insurance environments is highly valued.
The role is not for the faint-hearted; it requires a roll-up-your-sleeves attitude, intellectual curiosity, and the ability to navigate complexity while keeping accounting aligned with the actual business operations.
Over time, the role will evolve into a central GAAP Controller function, with a global responsibility for all policy-related matters.
