  • Define complex requirements and validate specifications that leverage Guidewire Products and technology to meet customer business objectives.
  • Learn and master the functionality provided by Guidewire applications in order to become a customer-facing professional services consultant.
  • Apply robust product knowledge to understand what can be configured as well as best practices that should be followed during the implementation life cycle.
  • Provide guidance to customers on how to best leverage Guidewire applications and technology to meet customer-defined business goals and objectives.
  • As a subject matter expert in the insurance industry, consult with insurance carrier business and technical resources to produce business requirements and business process documents as a functional resource.
  • Support estimating the effort required to configure the software.
  • Work with Guidewire product management/development to share key product gaps and further develop our core product features.
  • Support planning of user acceptance testing of customer solutions.
  • Advise on key trade-offs between scope, schedule, and objectives.
  • Communicate effectively with customers, partners, and relevant stakeholders at the program management level.
  • Cultivate relationships with customers and partners that ensure Guidewire has a view on cross-functional projects.
  • Participate in Guidewire events as London Market SME.

Salary: $120,000 - $180,000 per annum, depending on experience.

Required Skills and Qualifications:

  • 12+ years of experience in the P&C insurance industry, out of which 5+ years should be on the IT/software implementation side in the London Market insurance, Lloyd's, or Company markets.
  • Experience working with London Market delegated authority systems for coverholder reporting or data standardization.
