The Role
You will join as a Business Analyst focused on supporting the underwriting business — specifically working with their underwriting workbench system.

• Direct experience with underwriting workbench systems or similar platforms used to support underwriting, policy binding, or risk placement (e.g. policy administration, underwriting systems).
• Strong business-analysis skills: requirements gathering, process mapping, writing functional specifications, user-stories / acceptance criteria, data mapping.
• Excellent communication skills — able to engage with non-technical stakeholders (underwriters) and technical/IT teams, facilitating workshops and bridging gaps between business and technology.
• Good understanding of Lloyd’s market processes, regulatory / compliance requirements, and unique challenges of placing complex or specialty risks.

Desirable / Preferred

• Prior involvement in system implementation projects (new underwriting systems or significant upgrades) from requirements gathering through to UAT and go-live.
• Familiarity with data migration, data mapping, and integration between underwriting workbench and other administration or policy systems.
• Understanding of reinsurance, treaty/facultative placement, treaty and facultative workflows.
