Business Analyst Insurance – Freelance

Your expertise in the Belgian insurance market, on a long-term assignment with a software vendor serving the country's leading insurers. 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: Assigned to a client project, you hold a central role between the insurer, its business teams and the vendor's engineering teams. 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. Translate business needs into clear functional requirements that engineering teams can work with. 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.

Profile: Freelancer with experience directly tied to the Belgian insurance market: banking experience alone is not sufficient for this role. Around 5 to 10 years of business experience, with the ability to be operational immediately, without a training period. Proven expertise in one specialisation: group life insurance (including employee benefits), individual life or non-life. Experience with an insurer, with a consultancy active in the sector, or with a software vendor specialised in insurance.

Good knowledge of developments in the Belgian market, particularly local legislation and insurers' expectations. Ability to translate these business stakes into concrete requirements for engineering teams. Excellent interpersonal skills and ease with a wide range of stakeholders, from business teams to management. Full autonomy and the ability to take ownership of your scope from the start. English is essential for working with the international teams, complemented by French or Dutch depending on the client.

Offer: Long-term freelance assignment, with genuine prospects of extension. Daily rate of €550 to €650 depending on profile and experience. Billing on a daily rate or monthly basis, the latter being particularly suited to long-term engagements. Contract concluded directly with the freelancer, with no additional intermediary. Hybrid and flexible setup, agreed with the client: as a guideline, one day a week at the client's site, one day at the office and three days from home.

Assignment based in Brussels. Work on structural projects backed by client contracts signed for around ten years. Collaborate daily with international product and development teams. Work on a modular solution covering the entire insurance value chain. Benefit from a short, three-step recruitment process.

Benefits: Remote possible.
