• Collaborate with developers, architects, and stakeholders to document functional requirements and system impacts.

Policy Pages QA & Document Validation

• Serve as the primary QA resource for Policy Pages, validating policy documents for accuracy, completeness, and regulatory alignment.
• Work closely with the Policy Pages developer to review and QA documents prior to submission to the Product Filing team.
• Identify defects, document findings, and coordinate corrections with development teams.

Policy Pages Development Support (Growth Path)

• Learn xPression/xDesign used by Policy Pages to support document generation and formatting.
• Act as a functional and technical backup to the Policy Pages developer once ramped up.
• Support enhancements and maintenance of policy document templates and logic.
• (xPression experience is a plus but not required.)

Data Validation & Technical Support

• Perform basic SQL queries to validate data, troubleshoot issues, and support QA and analysis efforts.
• Support testing efforts related to policy data, document outputs, and system integrations.
• Assist with defect tracking, root‑cause analysis, and regression testing as needed.

Required Qualifications

• Prior annuity experience with a strong understanding of annuity products and policy administration.
• Experience working closely with technical teams on system enhancements or modernization initiatives.
• Strong attention to detail and experience performing QA or validation activities.
• Basic SQL skills for data validation and analysis.
• Ability to communicate effectively with developers, QA, and business stakeholders.
• Comfortable working in a regulated financial services environment.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience supporting legacy system modernization (e.g., COBOL to .NET).
• Exposure to or interest in learning xPression/xDesign.
• Experience supporting policy documentation, filings, or regulatory workflows.
• Background in Agile or hybrid delivery environments.

Why This Role

• Direct involvement in core annuity platform modernization.
