• Providing subject matter input across insurance processes (policy, claims, billing) and how these are enabled through Guidewire solutions.
• Supporting solution design by validating requirements against Guidewire capabilities, configuration options, and best practices.
• Identifying risks, gaps, and dependencies early, and working proactively with stakeholders to manage change
• At Senior level, mentoring and supporting junior business analysts and contributing to standards and continuous improvement initiatives.
