Daily Responsibilities
This role focuses on working with IT and insurance teams to analyse functional requirements, design software solutions, and validate initial setups. You’ll handle user stories, testing, and presentations.
Expect to perform system configuration, prepare business documents, and participate in insurance product design. You’ll be liaising with stakeholders, testers, scrum masters, actuaries, and developers.
Being skilled in Agile methodologies and tools like Jira is necessary. You will also test system integrations and present solution proposals to external companies and internal teams as required.
Supporting migration projects such as “on-prem to AWS” and taking full responsibility for configuration setup are core duties. Frequent collaboration with product owners and functional area owners will be expected.
The job includes reviewing system bug fixes and sign-offs, guiding new setups, and offering business or insurance training sessions to colleagues and clients to ensure smooth implementations.
