Senior Functional Analyst - Cross-Functional Data Integration

The client is looking for a senior functional analyst (8+ years) to document and align data exchanges between an acquired insurance software package and the cross-functional platforms that manage individual and business member-client data. This person bridges the business, architecture, integration and development teams: they write specifications and exchange contracts, analyze how package configuration choices affect services, APIs and flows, and contribute to the backlog. The role extends into quality, as they prepare and run integrated and end-to-end tests and help analyze integration rejections. The business context is group insurance pricing, but the work centers on data and integration rather than on the insurance product. The mandate starts November 9 with an estimated end date of December 31, 2026, and an extension is planned.

Candidate sought : a senior functional analyst who has defined exchange contracts and integration specifications (REST APIs, events, JSON/XML) in a multi-system environment, and who has validated the flows personally through integrated testing and SQL queries. Experience with SAPIENS or a comparable insurance package, or with master data management, puts them at the top of the list.

Key Requirements:

• Functional analysis in complex, integrated application environments
  
• Application integration and definition of data exchange contracts
  
• APIs, REST services, events and integration-oriented architectures (Swagger/OpenAPI, JSON/XML)
  
• Functional documentation, process mapping and business rules
  
• Functional testing, integrated testing and data validation (integration testing and validation tools)
  
• Data querying and analysis (SQL)
  
• Agile methodologies (Scrum/Kanban)
  
• Jira and Confluence
  

ASSET

• SAPIENS or comparable insurance software package (major asset)
  
• Master data management (MDM), single customer view, data repositories and data governance
  
• Kafka or event-driven architectures
  
• Individual insurance, underwriting or proposal management domain
  
• Search, consultation, notification and sharing of cross-functional data
  
• Large-scale digital transformation programs involving multiple teams and vendors
  

Profiles to Exclude:

• ▸ Business analyst profile whose resume shows business requirements gathering, with no integration specifications or exchange contracts.
  
• ▸ Profile listing APIs or REST under skills, with no project where they defined or documented exchanges between systems.
  
• ▸ Integration architect or developer profile whose experience covers technical design or code, with no responsibility for functional specifications.
  
• ▸ Profile whose testing is limited to user interface testing, with no data or application flow validation.
  
• ▸ Data or BI analyst profile with no responsibility for functional analysis of integrated systems.
