It is imperative that the candidate possesses excellent communication and analytical abilities and is a collaborative team player dedicated to delivering effective solutions for our clients.

Our clients often encounter technological and resource constraints, leading to lengthy and costly launches of new insurance products and offerings. However, with INSTANDA, insurers can build their products, establish distribution networks, test, and launch their offerings in unprecedented timescales—all without writing a single line of code. The individual in this role will ensure our customers can successfully and effortlessly achieve these goals and more.

  • Configure and deliver insurance products for distribution on the INSTANDA platform (training provided; no complex coding required).

  • Support design and discovery workshops with clients and stakeholders to understand business requirements and align with platform capabilities.
  • Assist in configuring proof-of-concept demonstrations during the elaboration phase to showcase potential solutions.
  • Effectively capture, comprehend, define, and document business requirements.
  • Support client delivery and engineering teams on the design and understanding of new functionalities, including third-party integrations for data enrichment and reporting.
  • Support the User Acceptance Testing (UAT) process for INSTANDA configurations and new functionalities.
  • Support training initiatives for clients and users on our SaaS product to ensure successful handover of configurations to the business.
  • Adopt a hands-on approach to troubleshooting.
  • Potential for travel to client destinations during design and discovery phases, as well as during UAT and go-live activities, when required by the client.

Requirements

Essential:

  • Minimum 1 year of experience as a Configuration Analyst or at least 2 years as a Business or Systems Analyst.
  • Experience in a client-facing role, ideally within an IT delivery capacity.
  • Experience working with insurance clients is crucial for success in this role - we are open to various areas of specialization.
  • Proven experience with SaaS-based products preferably within the insurance or financial industry.
  • Highly proficient in Excel, with extensive experience in formulas, lookups, and various functionalities (excluding VBA).
  • Conceptual understanding of third-party integrations, particularly focused on RESTful services.
  • Conceptual understanding of UI/UX design principles, including a basic understanding of JavaScript, CSS, and HTML.
  • Proven ability to manage competing deadlines in a fast-paced environment.
  • Proven ability to be organized and prioritize multiple tasks.
  • Proven ability to understand business requirements that capture clients’ key criteria and align them with commercial and technical considerations, which is essential for success.
  • Strong conceptual, analytical and problem-solving skills.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to convey technical concepts in clear, everyday language.
  • Our business demands a consultative approach and strong listening skills. We highly value your soft skills and a client-focused mindset.

  • A degree in Mathematics, Business, Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field is considered an asset but is essential if there is no work experience within related fields.
  • Involvement in Insurance Ratings or Insurance integrations would be advantageous
