Summary

For Consultant 2, GSC

Join the Guidewire Services Centre (GSC)

The GSC was established to meet growing global demand for expert implementation of our products. We’re a diverse, high-performing team that supports digital transformation projects for leading insurance companies worldwide.

We’re now looking for Business Analysts to join us — problem-solvers and relationship-builders who will work directly with customers and project teams to deliver smart, effective solutions that bring Guidewire’s products to life.

Job Description

Your Role as a Business Analyst

As a Business Analyst, you'll play a vital role in shaping how our software delivers real-world business value. You’ll partner with customers and collaborate across multi-disciplinary teams to:

• Gather, analyse, and document business requirements.
• Work closely with senior BAs or directly with customers to understand objectives and align solutions accordingly.

• Monitor implementation to ensure the configured solution meets agreed requirements.
• Support standardized solution delivery and ensure value is fully realized.
• Build trusted relationships with customers and internal teams, acting as a credible advisor.
• Lead requirement-gathering meetings and mentor team members on product capabilities.
• Adapt to an evolving role that grows alongside our solution offerings.
• Be available for essential customer travel when required.
