Dublin, Ireland Aviva Full time

You must have valid Irish, UK, or EU work rights to be considered for this role

Location: Cherrywood, Dublin 18 with hybrid working

FRCF provides assurance in relation to effectiveness of the control environment over Aviva’s external financial reporting. The role reports to the Head of Finance Operations, Controls and MI and will also be closely aligned with the wider FRCF within Aviva.

This position is not simply an internal audit position: if you find issues, part of your role will be to be point them out immediately and help fix them - not simply filing those issues in an end of period report. You will also need the capability to demand things from people, and to identify problems in process rather than at the end of the process. You will ultimately be working to make sure various controls are robust and evidencing that fact. This position is also situated within first line risk.

While there is the BAU aspect to this position, Aviva also have some new and cutting-edge transformation projects across the business in motion where you will have direct Controls input. There is also an opportunity to be involved in-depth within actuarial controls and IT general or application controls. Experience in these areas would be welcome but it is not essential. Depending on your experience your position should you be successful will not necessarily involve those areas – this will be expanded upon at interview. 

In general, you will be: 

supporting the delivery of FRCF activity for the ALPI business, performing this assurance activity in respect of local and Group reporting processes, and ensuring that the methodology is appropriately applied for this market.  communicating with key stakeholders and relevant process and control owners, working closely with them to ensure maintenance of a strong and effective control environment.  building relationships across the business to give you visibility and understanding of the end-to-end reporting process.  supporting a program of change to ensure that our FRCF activity is closely aligned to wider business developments, such as IFRS17 adoption.  identifying other opportunities such as process automation or consistency of data usage across the business to further enhance the control environment. 

You will have significant opportunity for exposure to senior stakeholders including the ALPI CFO both in the local business and in the Aviva Group centre. The role and the wider Aviva Ireland Life business are based in our Cherrywood office in Dublin. You will benefit from our smart working policy, which means a blend of office and home working. 

What are some of the key activities in this role?  

Delivery of FRCF assurance activity, and required to work as part of the ALPI Finance & Actuarial team supporting these requirements.  Supporting agreement with local, group & project stakeholders the assurance activity required to be performed throughout the year, including timing and prioritisation of this activity.  Drafting key FRCF governance activities, including provision of papers for local and Group forums and input into Board and Audit Committee reporting.  Working closely with subject matter experts (“SMEs”) and specialists across the wider Risk & Controls team on delivery of certain aspects of FRCF, for example IT and Actuarial SME’s  Proactively managing your relationship with key stakeholders, including market FRCF leads and process owners, internal audit and external audit stakeholders
