Business Systems Analyst (BSA) - Guidewire ClaimCenter

The client is looking for a BSA who translates claims needs into deliverables that Guidewire ClaimCenter development teams can act on. The "systems" component rests on the requirement for advanced knowledge of application integration, which sets the role apart from a process-only business analyst. The threshold is high and cumulative: 8 years in analysis, including 5 as a BSA on ClaimCenter, Guidewire ACE certification and property and casualty insurance experience. The role covers the full delivery cycle, through functional testing, UAT and production support when needed. The description allows other combinations of education and experience, which relaxes the degree without affecting the other thresholds.

Candidate sought : an ACE-certified BSA with at least 5 years of ClaimCenter projects in property and casualty insurance, able to write user stories, business rules and impact analyses, and to work with architects on REST/SOAP integration flows. Their resume shows involvement in testing and UAT in an Agile context.
