Job Description

Job Description:
A mutual P&C insurer is seeking a Vice President of Finance and Risk Management. This is an opportunity for a hands-on, strategically minded finance leader to step into a highly visible role with broad influence across the organization and a clear path toward future executive leadership. Reporting directly to the Executive Vice President and Chief Financial and Risk Officer, the Vice President of Finance and Risk Management will serve as a key partner in shaping and building the company’s financial and risk strategy, with responsibilities spanning financial reporting and regulatory oversight, financial planning and capital modeling, internal controls, ERM initiatives, reinsurance placement, investment strategy, and board reporting. Beyond leading and developing a high-performing team of five finance professionals, this individual will play a central role in helping the organization navigate an important transition period, including partnering closely with the retiring controller to ensure continuity and operational excellence. The role offers meaningful exposure to enterprise-wide strategic planning and decision-making, making it especially attractive for a candidate who enjoys expanding beyond traditional accounting responsibilities and wants to contribute as a trusted business advisor with long-term succession potential. This is a retained search.

Responsibilities:
  • Financial Reporting, Regulatory Oversight & Controls - Oversee statutory and management financial reporting processes, regulatory compliance, audit coordination, and internal controls. Ensure accuracy, timeliness, and integrity of financial information while supporting ongoing process improvement and governance initiatives.

  • Team Leadership & Talent Development - Lead, mentor, and develop a team of five finance professionals. Oversee performance management, establish priorities, ensure high-quality deliverables, and foster a collaborative, accountable, and growth-oriented team environment.

  • Strategic Finance, Risk & Enterprise Leadership - Lead and contribute to enterprise-wide financial strategy initiatives, including capital planning, investment strategy, reinsurance placement, ERM development, and long-range strategic planning. Serve as a key thought partner to executive leadership and help shape business decisions through financial analysis, risk assessment, and strategic recommendations.

  • Board Engagement & Executive Communication - Prepare and develop Board-level reporting materials, financial presentations, and strategic analyses for executive leadership and the Board of Directors. Periodically present to the Board, translating complex financial and operational data into clear, actionable insights that support informed decision-making and organizational strategy.

  • Operational Transition & Process Leadership - Partner closely with the retiring controller to facilitate knowledge transfer and ensure a smooth transition of responsibilities. Evaluate workflows, redistribute responsibilities appropriately within the team, and strengthen operational efficiency across the finance and accounting function.

Requirements:

  • CPA certification is required; additional insurance designations such as CPCU, CIC, or AIAF are a plus

  • Progressive finance, risk, and accounting leadership experience within the property & casualty insurance industry is essential, ideally with regional or mutual insurance carriers

  • Strong expertise in financial reporting, regulatory compliance, internal controls, and financial planning and analysis

  • Experience with capital modeling, reinsurance, enterprise risk management, and broader insurance financial strategy

  • Strong analytical and data capabilities, including advanced Excel skills and familiarity with Power BI or similar reporting tools
