Technical Implementation Consultant

Technical Implementation Consultant (PromiseXP)

Are you a technically savvy problem-solver who thrives at the intersection of cutting-edge technology and the insurance industry? Do you love translating complex technical challenges into elegant, real-world solutions? If so, this is your opportunity to make a meaningful impact at Swiss Re.

About the Role

As a Technical Design Consultant, you will be at the heart of delivering PromiseXP — Swiss Re's industry-leading claims solution — to client companies across North America and Europe. This is a high-visibility, client-facing role where your technical expertise will directly shape how our clients integrate and benefit from one of the most innovative tools in the life insurance space. With significant new client activity underway and continued investment in the PromiseXP Solution, there has never been a more exciting time to join this team.

While this is primarily an architecture and solution design role, the successful candidate is expected to remain hands-on and actively contribute to Java development when required.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead technical design and integration: Architect and design integration blueprints for PromiseXP client deployments, ensuring a seamless fit within clients' existing IT environments. Provide technical leadership across APIs, integration technologies, event-driven architectures, data models, and solution design. Apply strong Java development expertise to guide implementation decisions and, when required, contribute directly to hands-on delivery of complex integration solutions.
• Drive pre-sales and client engagements: Deliver compelling presentations, demonstrations, and technical discussions that articulate the value of PromiseXP. Provide architecture and integration expertise to help prospective clients understand solution capabilities, integration approaches, and implementation considerations.
• Collaborate across stakeholders: Liaise with clients' in-house IT staff, system integrators, and business partners to plan and identify optimal integration options
• Define and document requirements: Develop clear business and non-functional requirements, and raise well-structured change requests to Product Management
• Support the full implementation lifecycle: Support clients throughout initial installation, integration, and testing and all the way through to production go-live.
• Champion best practices: Consult with clients on system integration testing best practices, ensuring robust and reliable deployments
• Coordinate global software releases: Work with PromiseXP colleagues and global development teams to align client software releases, specify and review requirements for core system changes, and validate new releases
• Provide technical support: Serve as one of the key regional resources for handling service issues and change requests with efficiency and care
• Enable client success through training: Deliver required API training to clients on the effective use of PromiseXP software
• Travel as needed: Engage in periodic on-site work at client offices across North America, with occasional international travel to collaborate with global PromiseXP colleagues

With a strong problem-solving mindset, attention to detail, and a focus on execution, you take ownership of solutions from concept through production deployment. You thrive in client-facing environments, collaborate effectively across multidisciplinary teams, and are passionate about expanding your expertise within the insurance and reinsurance domain.
