  • Produce clear specifications and supporting documentation for stakeholders, testers and delivery teams.

Change Delivery & Business Readiness

  • Strong knowledge of insurance operations and business processes, including areas such as underwriting, claims and policy administration.
  • Understanding of end-to-end insurance journeys across multiple products, service lines or operational areas.
  • Strong experience in requirements gathering, analysis, documentation and specification, translating business needs into clear and practical requirements.
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills. With the ability to work effectively across the business and technology teams at all levels.
  • Strong analytic and problem-solving capability, with attention to detail and the ability to challenge, review and improve processes, requirements and documentation.
  • Experience working across traditional, Agile and DevOps-aligned delivery environments with the flexibility to adapt to different approaches.
  • Exposure to insurance policy administration platforms and external technology vendors and an understanding of how they support the end-to-end policy lifecycle would be advantageous.
  • Experience within Financial Services or Insurance would be advantageous.
