Job description

At PwC, our people in business application consulting specialise in consulting services for a variety of business applications, helping clients optimise operational efficiency. These individuals analyse client needs, implement software solutions, and provide training and support for seamless integration and utilisation of business applications, enabling clients to achieve their strategic objectives. As a Guidewire developer at PwC, you will specialise in developing and customising applications using the Guidewire platform. Guidewire is a software suite that provides insurance companies with tools for policy administration, claims management, and billing. You will be responsible for designing, coding, and testing software solutions that meet the specific needs of insurance organisations.

Focused on relationships, you are building meaningful client connections, and learning how to manage and inspire others. Navigating increasingly complex situations, you are growing your personal brand, deepening technical expertise and awareness of your strengths. You are expected to anticipate the needs of your teams and clients, and to deliver quality. Embracing increased ambiguity, you are comfortable when the path forward isn’t clear, you ask questions, and you use these moments as opportunities to grow.

Skills

Examples of the skills, knowledge, and experiences you need to lead and deliver value at this level include but are not limited to:

• Respond effectively to the diverse perspectives, needs, and feelings of others.
• Use a broad range of tools, methodologies and techniques to generate new ideas and solve problems.
• Use critical thinking to break down complex concepts.
• Understand the broader objectives of your project or role and how your work fits into the overall strategy.
• Develop a deeper understanding of the business context and how it is changing.
• Use reflection to develop self awareness, enhance strengths and address development areas.
• Interpret data to inform insights and recommendations.
• Uphold and reinforce professional and technical standards (e.g. refer to specific PwC tax and audit guidance), the Firm's code of conduct, and independence requirements.

The Opportunity

When you join PwC Acceleration Centers (ACs), you step into a pivotal role focused on actively supporting various Acceleration Center services, from Advisory to Assurance, Tax and Business Services. In our innovative hubs, you’ll engage in challenging projects and provide distinctive services to support client engagements through enhanced quality and innovation. You’ll also participate in dynamic and digitally enabled training that is designed to grow your technical and professional skills.

As part of the Business Application Consulting team you review estimates, support testing, and communicate with the onsite team. As a Senior Associate you guide and mentor others, maintain professional standards, and analyze complex concepts to deliver solutions. You support sprint planning, collaborate with teams from different locations, and participate in Center of Excellence activities.

Responsibilities

• Evaluate and refine project estimates for your module.
• Design and implement solutions effectively.
• Facilitate testing and resolve client questions.
• Maintain communication with the onsite team.
• Join scrum sessions and provide progress reports.
• Engage in Center of Excellence initiatives and training.
• Assist in sprint planning and collaborate with global teams.
• Analyze client needs and suggest improvements.

What You Must Have

• Bachelor's Degree (B.E., B.Tech, M.Tech, MCA, MSc, MS, BCA or equivalent).
• 5 year(s) of experience working in the Property & Casualty Insurance domain.
• Oral and written proficiency in English required.
• Hands‑on experience configuring Guidewire PolicyCenter (e.g., product model, business rules, workflows).
• Professional experience working directly on the Guidewire platform, including Gosu scripting, UI configuration, and Data Model extensions.
• Experience with Oracle or SQL Server databases, including writing SQL queries.

What Sets You Apart

• Experience in SCRUM Agile methodology.
• Knowledge of application servers like Tomcat or JBoss.
• Analytical and communication skills.
• Experience with SCM tools like GIT or SVN.
• Sound knowledge in software architecture and design patterns.
• Estimation, team leading, and mentoring skills.
• Experience with at least two Guidewire implementations.
