This is a high-impact role: you’ll own the technical narrative in deals, architect AI-driven solutions that transform how insurance products are built and managed, and work directly with our most ambitious prospects across UK and Europe. If you’re tired of cookie-cutter demos and want to show how AI actually changes the game for insurance product teams, keep reading. What You Will Do • Own the business value and technical win in enterprise deals – from pitching, scoping workshops through live demos, POCs, and commercial structuring, • Demonstrate how FintechOS’s AI-first ProductOps approach transforms insurance product velocity, from concept through underwriting, distribution, and continuous optimization – not just launch, • Show insurers how to break free from legacy policy administration and claims system constraints, modernizing their entire product lifecycle with composable, AI-powered architecture, • Build credibility fast with senior stakeholders (CTOs, Chief Insurance Officers, Chief Digital Officers, Heads of Product) by speaking their language and challenging their assumptions with AI-driven insights, • Collaborate with sales, product, and delivery to shape winning proposals that showcase our AI capabilities in real insurance scenarios, • Prototype rapidly when needed to prove AI-powered use cases (we’re technical, you should be too), • Travel across UK, Europe, and Romania to run workshops, present at events, and work embedded with teams What We Are Looking For You must be UK-based with right to work in the UK. Beyond that, here’s what matters: • 4–5 years in presales or solutions consulting for an insurance platform vendor (Guidewire, Duck Creek, Majesco, EIS, Sapiens, or similar SaaS/platform vendor), • Hands-on technical chops: you understand API architectures, can read code, and have built or configured insurance platform solutions yourself (not just presented them), • You’ve closed deals – and can articulate how you influenced the technical win, navigated objections, and shaped the commercial outcome, • Deep fluency in how insurers modernize product operations: legacy policy administration constraints, claims transformation, underwriting automation, product lifecycle challenges, time-to-market pressures, and cloud-native transformation, • Curious about AI and how it’s reshaping insurance product development – even if you’re not an AI expert yet, you’re eager to learn and articulate the value, • Comfortable traveling 40–50% of the time across UK, Europe, and Romania, • Self-starter mentality: you don’t wait for instructions, you see the gap and fill it What Makes You Stand Out These aren’t essentials, but they’ll get our attention: • You’ve worked specifically with Guidewire, Duck Creek, or EIS – and can speak to their strengths and limitations from real implementations, • Experience articulating how AI, machine learning, or automation accelerates insurance product development, underwriting decisions, claims processing, or operational efficiency, • Track record of winning competitive deals against Salesforce Financial Services Cloud, Unqork, Socotra, or other platform incumbents in the insurance space, • You’ve built custom demos or POC environments from scratch, • Experience with low-code/no-code platforms, composable architecture, ProductOps methodologies, or AI-powered development tools, • Vertical depth in P&C insurance, life and annuities, specialty/commercial lines, or reinsurance product development, • You’ve presented at industry events (e.g., InsureTech Connect, Insurance Innovators), contributed to RFP responses that won, or built thought leadership content that influenced buyers Our Culture • We are a highly motivated bunch of people, taking on a huge technical challenge in one of the biggest industries in the world. We’re fully aware that the impact of our work can be felt by hundreds of millions of people around the world, • At FintechOS, we strive to be the place where a diverse mix of talented people want to come, stay, and do their best work. Our commitment to diversity and inclusion is reflected in our people, our partners, and our customers, • We are fully focused on equality and believe deeply in diversity of race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, ethnicity, national origin, and all the other wonderful characteristics that make us different Quick Facts • We are a venture-backed business headquartered in London, • We have a big list of international clients already under our belt, serving customers in North America and Europe, • Our customers range from global strategic companies like Groupe Société Générale, Admiral Group, and BPCE Oney, to game-changing players like Vibrant, eMag, and Howden, • Our partners include both niche consulting agencies and global consulting firms and systems integrators, including Deloitte, EY, and PWC
