About this role
about us: battleface is building a humanity-focused travel insurance company to bring people and the world together. For far too long, travel insurance has focused on the company, not the customer.

As a fast-growing global travel insurance MGA and TPA, our financial operations are complex, evolving, and critical to the business.

- Direct experience with MGA and/or TPA financial operations, including premium and claims reconciliation
- Advanced Excel skills required, including pivot tables, complex formulas, and reconciliation models
- Strong understanding of insurance accounting concepts, including written vs earned premium, claims lag, and carrier settlements
- Bachelor’s degree in Finance or Accounting; CPA or equivalent professional qualification a plus
- High attention to detail paired with strong analytical and problem-solving skills
- Comfortable operating in evolving, partially manual environments while actively improving them
- Strong communication skills and ability to translate complex financial data into clear insights for leadership
