Senior Analyst – Banking and Insurance Division

Posted:
Closing Date:

The Commission is recruiting for an insightful Senior Analyst to join the Banking and Insurance Division and play a key role in the prudential and conduct supervision of banks, insurers, insurance managers, intermediaries, and firms licensed under the Lending, Credit and Finance Law. The Division is central to maintaining confidence in the Bailiwick’s financial sector. This is a highly impactful role offering challenge, variety, and the opportunity to engage with some of the most significant firms and individuals in the industry.

Senior Analysts take a leading role in delivering risk‑based supervision under PRISM, assessing whether licensees operate within acceptable risk parameters and meet established regulatory expectations. The successful candidate will analyse complex information, exercise sound judgement, and provide early identification of emerging risks. They will act as a trusted point of contact for senior individuals within supervised firms—including boards, CEOs and other key functionaries - building constructive regulatory relationships while holding firms to account.

While you are not expected to have prior knowledge of every area the Division supervises, we are seeking candidates who bring strong experience from insurance, banking, auditing, actuarial, compliance, risk, or another relevant financial services environment. You may already have supervisory or regulatory experience or you may be ready to take the next step into a regulatory role.

Highlights of the role include:

  • Assist 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 and support to the Authorisations and innovations Division to investigate and assess applications for licences, registrations and exemptions.
  • Plan and lead on-site visits; conduct research, analyse and identify key issues in information and data collected; and consider matters to raise.
  • Review and analyse licensees’ periodic returns and financial statements and any other information which might affect their continuing ability to meet the licensing criteria.
  • Analyse the sector as a whole, producing trend documents, incorporating risk-based analysis and presenting findings back to the industry sector as necessary.
  • Prepare and present visit findings, providing feedback to licensees in a professional manner and following up matters raised.
  • Ensure a high quality of work is consistently produced by the team displaying a high attention to detail.
