Who we are
Apollo, a Skyward Group company, is an innovation-inspired insurance platform operating at Lloyd’s of London, delivering data-driven and creative solutions across a broad range of risks.
Our name reflects our origins. Inspired by one of our founding investors, Neil Armstrong, the first person to walk on the moon, the business was built with the same pioneering mindset. Alongside Jim Hays, Neil set out to create a different kind of Lloyd’s platform, focused, agile and built around people.
Since launch in 2009, we have grown into a diversified insurance group offering products across Property, Casualty, Marine, Energy and Transportation, Specialty and Reinsurance, alongside Smart Follow and digital and embedded risk programmes. Our experience and unique ecosystem give Platform Partners the best chance of success, from navigating the Lloyd’s new entrant process through to the delivery of their long-term strategy.
With a team of more than 300 professionals, we continue to grow with purpose, combining underwriting excellence, innovation and collaboration to enable a more resilient and sustainable world.
Your Role
Apollo is expanding its Platform Partner Syndicates (PPS) Finance team, creating an opportunity for a Syndicate Reporting Manager to play a central role in the financial oversight and reporting of our Partner Syndicates portfolio.
Reporting to the Head of Partner Syndicates Finance, you will oversee the delivery and quality of financial and regulatory reporting produced by third party finance providers. The role sits at the centre of syndicate reporting, Lloyd’s regulatory returns, and stakeholder coordination, requiring close collaboration with internal teams, outsourced providers, and Platform Partners.
Alongside core reporting oversight, you will support finance initiatives linked to the onboarding of new Partner Syndicates, development of treasury reporting, and continuous improvement of the syndicate financial control framework. This role combines technical reporting oversight, stakeholder management, and process improvement within a growing and strategically important area of Apollo’s business.
What You’ll Do
- You will oversee the delivery of syndicate financial reporting across the Partner Syndicates portfolio, ensuring third party finance providers deliver accurate and timely financial close, management information, and Lloyd’s regulatory reporting.
- You will review and validate reporting outputs to ensure they meet Apollo’s standards for quality, governance, and financial control. This includes preparing internal finance reporting for Apollo Board and Committee audiences, as well as financial reporting for Platform Partners.
- Working closely with the Financial Planning and Analysis (FP&A) team, you will support the communication of financial results to Platform Partners and help ensure reporting insights are delivered clearly and consistently.
- The role also supports treasury coordination and reporting, including monitoring liquidity levels, developing treasury risk reporting, and contributing to the development of key risk indicators.
- You will support the external audit process, ensuring reporting outputs and documentation are structured to enable efficient audit cycles, while also contributing to the development of procedures that strengthen the financial control environment within the Partner Syndicates finance team.
- As Apollo continues to grow its Platform Partner ecosystem, you will support finance workstreams associated with onboarding new Partner Syndicates, helping embed reporting frameworks and financial processes for new partnerships.
- The role also includes line management and development of a Senior Syndicate Accountant, supporting capability and delivery across the team.
What We Are Looking For
- ACA, ACCA, or equivalent accounting qualification
- Experience working within the Lloyd’s market, including exposure to syndicate financial and regulatory reporting
- Experience overseeing or working with outsourced finance or reporting providers
- Ability to build collaborative relationships across internal teams, external partners, and third party providers
- A conscientious and proactive approach, with an interest in improving processes and strengthening reporting frameworks
