Insurance and Finance Systems Delivery
  • Support delivery of initiatives impacting insurance and Finance platforms.
  • Understand end to end transaction flows from Guidewire and associated insurance platforms through to Oracle Fusion.
  • Assess impacts across upstream systems, Finance processes, accounting flows and reporting requirements.
  • Work with business and technology teams to ensure solutions are practical, supportable and aligned with business objectives.


Stakeholder Engagement
  • Build trusted relationships across Finance, Technology and Support teams.
  • Facilitate discussions and workshops to drive decisions and resolve issues.
  • Translate business requirements into technology outcomes.
  • Translate technical concepts into clear business language.
  • Ensure interested parties receive clear, concise and timely updates.


What you'll bring

  • Strong Oracle Fusion Financials experience on General Ledger, AP & AR.
  • Experience supporting or delivering Finance Technology initiatives within insurance or financial services organizations.
  • Understanding of accounting principles, reconciliations and financial controls.
  • Basic accounting knowledge.
  • Experience working with Guidewire or similar insurance policy, billing or claims platforms and their Finance integrations.
  • Strong communication, relationship management and collaborator engagement skills.
  • Experience coordinating work across multiple business and technology teams.
  • Strong analytical, organizational and problem-solving skills.
  • Ability to challenge, influence and drive actions to completion.


Desirable Skills
  • Oracle Accounting Hub Cloud Service (AHCS) experience.
  • Experience supporting Finance integrations, accounting feeds and reporting platforms.

  • Outstanding Career Development opportunities.
  • We'll support your professional development education.
  • Competitive vacation package with the option to purchase 5 extra days off per year.
