The client
is seeking an IT analyst focused on Level 2 application support: investigating
issues escalated by Level 1 support, with the ability to diagnose problems
using existing technical tools (APIs, SQL, Azure) without systematically
escalating. The difference from a traditional support role is significant: the
candidate must be able to read and interpret SQL queries, test API endpoints
using Postman, and navigate an Azure cloud environment to isolate the root
cause of an incident.
Beyond
support, the candidate will participate in maintenance and continuous
improvement projects, which requires the ability to document findings,
formulate clear conclusions, and communicate effectively with technical and
functional teams. A basic understanding of business analysis is expected to
structure observations and communicate them to stakeholders.
The client
emphasizes the importance of actively engaging with existing systems, going
beyond simply following procedures. The candidate must demonstrate an interest
in understanding how the client's systems work, rather than simply following
predefined steps. The client also desires the ability to quickly integrate into
several small projects simultaneously, rather than a single-task profile.
The
candidate does not need to be an architect or developer: they are an analyst
who uses technical tools for diagnostic purposes, not development. Knowledge of
the insurance sector is an advantage for team integration, but not essential.
