Job Description: Senior Manager – Guidewire Technical Lead

Line of Service Advisory

Industry/Sector: Insurance

Specialism: Guidewire Management

Job Title: Senior Manager – Guidewire Technical Lead

About the Role

The Guidewire Technical Lead plays a pivotal role in driving the successful implementation, configuration, and optimisation of Guidewire solutions within an organisation.

The role brings deep expertise in Guidewire modules (such as PolicyCenter, ClaimCenter, or BillingCenter), facilitates requirements gathering, and leads technical design and delivery. You’ll ensure solution capabilities meet customer outcomes, align with Guidewire standards and best practices, and monitor upcoming Guidewire ski releases to inform project planning.

This Technical and leadership role involves:

  • Mentoring collaterals
  • Collaborating with stakeholders/customers
  • Delivering scalable, high-quality insurance applications

Key Responsibilities

Stakeholder Engagement

  • Collaborate with business users, project managers, and technical teams to translate business needs into technical specifications.
  • Ensure alignment across the project lifecycle and help articulate requirements effectively.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
