Role overview

DLG is evolving. Across every part of our business, teams are embracing new opportunities and putting customers at the heart of everything they do. Whether you're already part of DLG or thinking about joining us, you'll have the chance not only to be recognised for your skills, but also to build on them and be empowered to do your very best.

We’re looking for a Technical Accounting Manager with deep Solvency II and insurance experience to join our External Reporting team. This is a key role in delivering our Public and PRA Solvency II reporting, managing our offshore reporting team, and ensuring we meet our regulatory and governance obligations on time and to a high standard.

What you’ll be doing

  • Lead delivery of Public and PRA Solvency II reporting, ensuring accuracy and compliance.

  • Provide expert technical accounting advice across Finance, Risk, and Tax, interpreting Solvency II and IFRS requirements.

  • Review and approve Solvency II balance sheet, own funds, journals, and tax computations prepared offshore.

  • Oversee QRT submissions to the PRA and support Audit and Disclosure Committee reporting.

  • Manage the coordination and sign-off process for the Solvency and Financial Condition Report (SFCR).

  • Support governance, control and assurance frameworks for external reporting.

  • Partner with onshore and offshore teams to drive continuous improvement in reporting quality and efficiency.

Our hybrid model offers a 'best of both worlds' approach. When you'll be in the office depends on your role and team, but colleagues spend at least 2 days a week in our London Riverbank House office.

What you’ll need

  • Qualified accountant (ACA / ACCA / CIMA or equivalent).
  • Strong Solvency II experience and solid understanding of the insurance sector.
  • Knowledge of IFRS and financial reporting frameworks.
  • Proven ability to manage offshore teams and meet strict reporting deadlines.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder engagement skills.
  • A proactive, solution-driven mindset — you take ownership, make decisions, and deliver results.

There’s a lot of collaboration in high-pressure environments because you need those different opinions in order to get things done.

The work is so dynamic and ever evolving. You might not think that from insurance but there’s a strong focus on adapting to new challenges.

I feel like I’m in charge and in control of my work. My opinion is valid, I can speak up, and challenge opinions.

It’s a great business and a great opportunity and full of great people who really want to get things done.
