Summary
About the role
Our ANZ InsuranceSuite practice delivers Guidewire implementations and cloud transformations for some of the largest insurers in the region. As an Architect, you own the design and delivery of one workstream on a customer program, either Functional (PolicyCenter, ClaimCenter, BillingCenter) or Integration. You work alongside a Lead or Senior Architect and mentor the consultants and developers on your track.
You’ll be hands-on. You design the solution, build the hard parts, review your team’s work, and are the person the customer’s project leadership relies on for your track. We hire Architects with the expectation that they grow into Senior Architects, and we put the mentoring and project exposure in place for that.
