Job description

Solutions Architect, Policy Administration | 12-Month Contract (Outside IR35)

I'm looking for a Solutions Architect who has worked on the insurer side and knows policy administration inside out. This is a 12-month engagement on a core insurance transformation programme. It's almost fully remote, and the day rate is competitive and flexible for the right person.

The role

You’ll own the solution architecture across the policy management landscape: shaping target state, designing how core policy systems connect to the wider estate, and making sure what gets built actually works for the business. You’ll work closely with business stakeholders, delivery teams and vendors, turning complex requirements into clear, deliverable designs.

What you’ll need

• A solid background as a Solutions Architect within an insurer. Carrier-side experience is essential.
• Strong policy administration knowledge, covering the full policy lifecycle: quote, bind, MTAs, renewals, and how policy data flows into billing, claims and finance
• Experience designing integrations between core insurance platforms and surrounding systems
• The confidence to engage senior stakeholders and steer design decisions

Nice to have

• Experience with EIS, Duck Creek or Guidewire
• Salesforce or wider CRM knowledge, especially where CRM meets policy and customer data

The details

• 12-month contract
• Remote-first, with occasional travel to City as needed
• Day rate competitive and negotiable
