Job Description

Our client is an insurance software provider that has built an exciting software tool which fundamentally changes how companies who sell insurance can design and deliver insurance products to the market.  They work directly with Insurers, Managing General Agents (MGA’s), and Brokers, using leading-edge technologies.  They have many global clients that benefit from the significant speed coupled with time and cost savings for the insurance sector.  After several years spent designing and building the platform, it is now being used globally by some of the world’s largest insurance companies.  With this explosion in growth and interest in the products, the company is expanding globally and looking for highly talented people to join the team.
