- Analyze submission, underwriting, placement, bordereaux, and policy lifecycle workflows.
- Identify inefficiencies, duplication, data quality issues, and scalability challenges.

- Quantify operational and commercial impact where possible.
- Translate analyzed workflows into a recommended target state.
- Map requirements against platform capability, shaping feasible solutions and flagging bespoke work needs.

- Strong analytical and critical thinking ability.

- Excellent documentation skills (process maps, business requirements, gap analysis).
- Ability to translate complex insurance workflows into structured requirements.
- Good working knowledge of the insurance industry across both Insurer and Broking environments.
- Understanding of insurer operations including underwriting, product governance, distribution, and policy lifecycle.
- Understanding of broking operations including placement processes, client servicing, market interaction, and delegated authority models.
- Awareness of regulatory considerations within insurance markets.
- A working understanding of configurable, specification-driven software, and the practical difference between configuration and custom development.
- Exposure to no-code, low-code, or structured product specification environments.
- Direct exposure to the Lloyd's and London markets, and an understanding of how business is placed and traded there.
- Experience in InsurTech, or in delivering enterprise SaaS into regulated industries.
- A consulting background in financial services, ideally insurance, with client-facing polish.
- Background checks may include criminal record check, credit history review, speaking with previous employers, and confirming academic qualifications.
