Head Of Expense/Expense Management

THE TEAM YOU WILL BE JOINING

• A growing finance function within an insurance and retirement solutions organization, based in a newly expanded Charlotte office
• A team working across reinsurance, life insurance, and annuities, offering broader exposure than a traditional public accounting seat

• An organization actively building out its Charlotte presence and finance headcount as the office grows

WHAT THEY OFFER YOU

• Visibility with finance leadership in a growing office, not buried in a large, established team
