• Continuous Improvement: Identify opportunities for process and system improvements to drive efficiency and maximize value for the business.

Skills and Experience Required:

• Proven experience in gathering and documenting requirements, producing technical specifications that are understandable to both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Demonstrated ability to organise and facilitate workshops to explore challenges, refine requirements, and design effective solutions.
• Experience working with third-party software and technology vendors.
• Strong expertise in systems integration, including designing and reviewing APIs using REST and/or SOAP protocols.
• Hands-on experience working with complex software applications or enterprise systems such as CRM or ERP platforms, with the ability to develop a deep understanding of system functionality.
• Familiarity with database structures; experience writing SQL is an advantage.
• Prior experience in the insurance or financial services industry is desirable.
• Knowledge of cloud-based architecture and services, particularly Azure, would be beneficial.
