Controller – High-Growth Insurance Platform
Locations: New York, NY | Greenwich, CT | Charlotte, NC
Join an innovative, fast-scaling insurance platform backed by a highly experienced leadership team and substantial committed capital. This is a rare opportunity to step into a foundational finance leadership role and help build a next-generation annuity carrier from the ground up.
The Opportunity
We’re partnering with a rapidly growing life & annuity business that’s building a modern, tech-enabled insurance platform. They’re looking for a hands-on Controller who can own financial reporting, build processes from scratch, and play a key role in shaping the finance function as the company scales.
You’ll report directly to the CFO and work cross-functionally with actuarial, operations, investments, and distribution teams. If you’ve been looking for a role with real impact, visibility, and long-term growth – this is it.
