Job description

Business Analyst: Insurance Organisation | Iowa, United States (Hybrid) | Competitive Salary DOE

MUST be Iowa based with flexibility for hybrid working

This is a genuinely exciting time to be joining this business.

A well-capitalised, institutionally backed insurer with a strong heritage and a rapidly growing US platform, they are mid-way through one of the most ambitious technology and operational transformation programmes in their history. And they need a BA who can help them deliver it.

The firm

Think insurance at scale. Property, casualty, financial lines, marine, and specialty, written across Lloyd's and US admitted and E&S markets. The operation is well established, and the US platform is growing fast, with significant investment going into people, systems, and infrastructure to match that ambition.

This isn't a business standing still. They're building.

The programme

You'd be stepping into a function with serious delivery momentum. Current workstreams include:

• A core policy administration system modernisation: Rationalising legacy platforms and moving toward a modern, scalable P&C stack


• A data and analytics transformation: Building out MI, reporting, and underwriting insight capabilities to support smarter risk selection


• Digital underwriting workbench development: Streamlining the submission-to-bind journey for underwriters across key specialty lines


• Cloud migration: Transitioning on-premise infrastructure to a cloud-first environment across key business applications


• US platform expansion: Integrating new lines of business and supporting the buildout of E&S underwriting capabilities stateside

The role

As BA you'll sit at the heart of this, working directly with underwriting, claims, finance, and operations stakeholders to capture requirements, define solutions, and make sure what gets built actually works for the business.

This is a hands-on role. You'll be running workshops, producing functional specifications, managing UAT, and owning the requirement lifecycle end to end. You won't be managing from a distance.

• Proven BA experience within the Insurance Market; This is essential


• Strong understanding of insurance operations, underwriting, claims, policy lifecycle, data flows


• Experience delivering on core systems transformation, data projects, or digital programmes


• Excellent stakeholder management, comfortable working with underwriters, actuaries, and C-suite equally
