As a Senior Financial Analyst II, you will perform complex and interpretive financial analysis to support enterprise investment planning, forecasting, financial and management decision-making.

How you will make an impact:

• Prepare accurate and timely bi-weekly enterprise funding and cash reports; analyze actual and projected cash flows, funding needs, and liquidity positions; explain key trends and variances; and recommend actions to stakeholders.
• Develop, maintain, and enhance financial models, forecasts, and projection methodologies to assess current and future funding, liquidity, and ALM performance.
• Prepare management reports and special analyses that synthesize complex financial results, identify key performance drivers and risks, and provide actionable insights and recommendations.
• Partner with Divisional Finance, Treasury, Accounting, Actuarial, Investment Operations, and other stakeholders to reconcile financial data, evaluate assumptions, align forecasts with enterprise objectives, and support informed decision-making.
• Maintain robust reporting controls, documentation, and review procedures to promote data integrity, auditability, and effective change management.
• Improve the efficiency, accuracy, and scalability of financial analysis and reporting through process redesign, automation, Snowflake-based data solutions, dashboards, and AI-enabled tools.
• Support ad hoc initiatives that inform enterprise financial and risk decisions, as well as other team reporting needs.

The experience you will bring:

• 5+ years of experience in financial analysis, FP&A, treasury, investments, ALM, or a related finance function; life insurance or financial services experience preferred.
• Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, Business, or a related field, or equivalent work experience.
• Demonstrated experience performing complex financial analysis, developing forecasts or financial models, conducting scenario analysis, and explaining trends, variances, risks, and key business drivers.
• Strong analytical judgment, problem-solving skills, and attention to detail, with the ability to evaluate data quality and challenge assumptions.
• Ability to manage recurring reporting deliverables and ad hoc analyses independently while collaborating effectively across functions.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to translate financial analysis into clear conclusions, recommendations, and a range of potential outcomes for senior stakeholders.
• Advanced Microsoft Excel skills and experience with one or more analytical tools or programming languages, such as SQL, Python, R, or VBA.

What will make you stand out:

• Experience with management reporting, financial planning and analysis, liquidity or cash-flow forecasting, or asset-liability management.
• Knowledge of life insurance financial statements, products, investment portfolios, or related financial and regulatory concepts.
