Job description

Xceedance is hiring experience industry professionals to help shape our domain practices, strengthen delivery capabilities, and bring functional expertise to the evolution of our business.

The Practice Lead, Guidewire Solution Architect is a senior subject-matter expert responsible for shaping and driving Xceedance’s Guidewire practice across client engagements, solutions, and delivery. This role serves as the expert on Guidewire business processes, regulatory landscape, and industry trends, partnering closely with client engagement, delivery, and business development teams to design and scale differentiated solutions. The ideal candidate brings deep, cross-functional experience across multiple Guidewire functions and a proven ability to translate industry expertise into practical, revenue-generating client outcomes in close collaboration with carriers, MGAs, TPAs, and E&S stakeholders.

The role demands a hybrid specialist who can re-imagine Guidewire policy, billing, and claims processes through the lens of agentic frameworks and orchestration, while remaining commercially grounded. In a world where information is becoming abundant and AI can summarize, compare, and explain faster than ever, judgment is the differentiator. The Practice Lead must be able to zoom in like a specialist (to the product model, Gosu rule, agent behavior, and integration contract) and zoom out like a generalist (to the operating model, strategic intent, and business outcomes) — and translate between the two.

What You Bring

• 10+ years of experience in insurance technology, including 7+ years architecting Guidewire InsuranceSuite (PolicyCenter, BillingCenter, ClaimCenter) solutions and leading end-to-end implementation, upgrade, and Guidewire Cloud migration programs across Personal, Commercial, and Specialty lines.


• Demonstrated ability to translate business needs into process, data, and agentic design decisions.


• Deep knowledge of Gosu, the Guidewire data model, Integration Framework, Jutro digital experiences, Guidewire Data Platform, and Guidewire Cloud; Guidewire ACE certification preferred.


• Proven operator experience with direct P&L accountability for an insurance business unit, practice, or service line, including owning revenue, margin, budget, and headcount decisions and delivering against financial targets.


• Ability to decompose business outcomes into agent tasks, data dependencies, decision points, and control mechanisms.


• Experience designing integrations, data conversion strategies, and agent-ready workflow extensions around Guidewire policy, billing, and claims administration.


• Proven experience in solution architecture, RFP responses, and proposal development for transformation deals.


• Strong presentation and storytelling skills for client orals, executive briefings, and demos.


• Ability to design scalable, reusable, and value-driven solutions.
