The posting
Lloyd’s is the world’s leading insurance and reinsurance marketplace, bringing together the world’s leading risk takers to advance global progress.
Our strategy is focused on delivering strong underwriting performance, operating an efficient and flexible marketplace, and maximising the capital advantage of the Lloyd’s market — while continuing to build a Lloyd’s we are proud of.
How we deliver this, matters. We take the risk, make things happen, and own the outcome — working together across our global network to turn insight into impact.
We're looking for a Finance Manager to join our Japan team and play a key role in supporting the financial strength and operational excellence of Lloyd's Japan.

- Partner with global technology teams and vendors to enhance finance systems and reporting capabilities
- Build strong relationships with internal and external stakeholders across the Lloyd's market
- Support regulatory reporting requirements, including JFSA submissions and monthly notifications
What you'll bring
We're interested in hearing from professionals who can demonstrate:
- Strong knowledge of Japanese accounting standards, taxation requirements and regulatory frameworks
- Significant experience within the insurance sector, ideally Property & Casualty insurance
- Deep understanding of financial reporting, financial control and accounting operations
- Experience preparing statutory financial statements and managing external audits
- Knowledge of JFSA reporting requirements
- Experience working with finance and accounting systems
- Fluent Japanese and strong English communication skills, both written and spoken
- Strong analytical, organisational and stakeholder management skills
- A proactive approach to continuous improvement and problem-solving
What sets you apart
You'll be someone who is comfortable balancing attention to detail with a broader commercial perspective. You enjoy working collaboratively, taking ownership of outcomes and finding practical solutions to complex challenges.
You'll bring curiosity, accountability and a commitment to building trusted relationships, while maintaining the highest standards of integrity and professionalism.
Being inclusive at Lloyd’s is integral to how we work — and how we deliver impact. We aim to build a diverse, inclusive environment that reflects the global markets we serve, where everyone is treated with dignity and respect and supported to reach their full potential.
We take the risk by challenging traditional thinking and being proactive about inclusion. That means being open and positive about workplace adjustments, prioritising health and wellbeing, and investing in diversity and inclusion training so everyone feels able to contribute and succeed.
We make things happen by turning our commitment into action. Through employee networks, mentoring, volunteering opportunities and sustained investment in professional development, we create an environment where inclusion is experienced day‑to‑day — not just talked about.
We own the outcome by focusing on impact. By bringing together diverse perspectives and the best minds in the industry, we work collaboratively with underwriters and brokers to create innovative, responsive solutions that share risk and solve complex problems across global markets.
