Business Analyst Insurance | Freelance | Brussels
Our client is an international software vendor whose insurance division develops a modular solution covering the entire insurance value chain: distribution, policy management, claims and accounting.
What makes it stand out? A human-sized Belgian team on the insurance side, backed by an international organisation and by product and development teams of several thousand people.
The Belgian market is a strategic priority for the group, which already counts major clients there. Contracts are signed for long periods, often around ten years, giving freelancers real continuity of assignment.
With a growing project portfolio, the company is looking for several freelance Business Analysts specialised in insurance.
All of this within a hybrid and flexible organisation, anchored in Brussels.
The job

- Understand the client’s needs, challenge them and match them against the capabilities of the solution.
- Analyse the gap between the client’s processes and the standard product, then identify the required configurations or customisations.
- Work on one or more modules depending on your specialisation: group life, individual life, non-life, and potentially claims or finance.
- Be operational from day one and bring your knowledge of the Belgian market straight into the project.
Role
- Gather, analyse and challenge the business needs of insurance clients.
- Carry out the gap analysis between the client’s processes and the standard functionalities of the solution.
- Identify and formalise the configurations and customisations to be implemented.

- Ensure the day-to-day link between the client’s business stakeholders and the product and development teams.
- Work within your area of specialisation: group life, individual life or non-life insurance.
- Support the configuration and implementation of the solution throughout the project.
- Take part in functional validation and testing of delivered developments.
- Relay Belgian market developments and client expectations to the product teams.
- For the most specialised profiles, contribute to modules deployed across several clients.
