Full Job Description
Job Description Mandate Overview:
The team supports DGAG's ambition to become the 5th largest commercial P&C insurer in Canada by 2030, with an enhanced business offering distributed through brokers. The BA works upstream: identifying needs, framing scope, quantifying costs and benefits, then recommending a solution and influencing decision-makers. The mandate requires P&C experience and at least one of four domains (commercial lines, claims, compliance and regulatory reporting, broker distribution), but the narrative presents three of these as expected expertise, which is submitted to the client. "Lead" applies to the analysis, in collaboration with the PO and project manager, not to project management. Political acumen and the ability to reconcile multiple stakeholders weigh in success.
Target candidate: a business analyst with at least 6 years of experience, part of it demonstrated in P&C insurance, ideally in commercial lines or claims within a broker distribution model. They have defined scope and recommended solutions on complex projects in an Agile context, and Guidewire exposure puts them ahead.

Intermediate advanced business analyst profile

Profiles to Exclude:

Profile presenting Guidewire configuration without needs elicitation, scope definition or impact analysis.
Product Owner, project manager or Scrum Master profile presented as equivalent to a BA role.
Profile mentioning Agile without demonstrated participation in an Agile team (backlog, PO collaboration, ceremonies).
Profile whose BA experience is limited to documenting requirements, without cost, benefit and risk analysis or solution recommendation.
