Lead business architecture across individual insurance processes, including life, health, and disability. Develop functional designs and business architecture documentation while supporting business and IT teams in application transformation and modernization initiatives. The role requires deep individual insurance experience rather than general enterprise architecture, actuarial analysis, or data analysis. Experience across multiple insurance product lines and Quebec-based insurers is preferred, along with bilingual French and English communication skills and knowledge of ArchiMate or BPMN modeling tools.
The client is looking for a
senior business architect who can work across the entire individual insurance
processes, not just one business flow. The candidate should be able to
structure functional design and produce the expected business architecture deliverables,
while supporting both business and IT teams in modernizing existing systems.
This isn’t a general enterprise architecture profile; hands-on knowledge of
individual insurance is pretty important. The dual focus expected, on
functional design and application transformation, comes up in both sources and
forms the core of the role.

- General enterprise architecture profile without exposure to
individual insurance processes.
