Analyst – Banking and Insurance Division

Posted:
Closing Date:

The Commission is recruiting for an inquisitive Analyst to join the Banking and Insurance Division. The Division plays a vital role in maintaining confidence in the Bailiwick’s financial services industry by overseeing the prudential and conduct supervision of banks, insurers, insurance managers, insurance intermediaries, and firms licensed under the Lending, Credit, and Finance Law.

The successful candidate will be at the forefront of risk‑based supervision by analysing information from licensees, using sound judgement to assess whether their behaviour meets regulatory expectations, and helping ensure that the financial services sector operates safely and responsibly.

The work is varied and intellectually stimulating, spanning multiple sectors across banking and insurance. Analysts build strong relationships with a broad range of stakeholders including licensees, boards of directors, senior managers, and industry advisors.

We don’t expect new Analysts to arrive with knowledge of every sector we supervise. But if you have experience in insurance, banking, auditing, actuarial work, compliance, or a similar financial environment, and you’re eager to broaden your understanding of financial services and regulation, we would encourage you to apply.

Highlights of the role include:

  • Assisting with maintaining and developing the Commission’s relationship with its licensees. This could include analysis of matters requiring the Commission’s approval, consent or comment (changes of control, directors, surrender of licences etc.)
  • Assisting with planning and attending on-site visits; conducting research, analysing and identifying key issues in information and data and considering matters to raise with licensees. Reviewing files, assessing risks and accurate minute taking.
  • Analysing licensees’ periodic returns and financial statements and any other information which might affect their continuing ability to meet the licensing criteria.
  • Assisting with preparing and presenting visit findings, feedback to licensees and following up matters raised.
  • Assisting with preparing and presenting licensees cases to Risk Governance Panels.
  • Producing written work which is accurate, clear and concise, that can be relied upon as a Commission record.
