Overview

The Data-centric Business Architect is a consulting role focused on helping insurers and reinsurers translate business strategy into data- and AI-enabled operating models, target-state designs, and scalable transformation outcomes.

The role sits at the intersection of domain consulting, business architecture, data strategy, and AI-enabled transformation. It is responsible for structuring business problems, defining required data and AI capabilities, and ensuring that business intent is translated into coherent, implementable solutions.

This role is particularly relevant across Commercial & Specialty Insurance, Reinsurance, and Delegated Authority, where organisations are evolving from system-centric environments towards data- and AI-enabled operating models that support improved decision-making, automation, control, and scalability.

The individual will work closely with clients and Synpulse’s consulting and engineering teams to define business and data requirements, shape semantic and architectural models, and ensure alignment across business, data, and technology throughout the lifecycle.

Job responsibilities

  • Lead the design of data- and AI-enabled target operating models, business capability maps, and transformation roadmaps across Insurance/Reinsurance domains.
  • Define required data assets, business definitions, and semantic structures aligned to business outcomes, and translate domain requirements into structured outputs including conceptual and logical data models, business rules, and architecture-aligned specifications.
  • Assess existing data landscapes and operating models to identify gaps, inconsistencies, and improvement opportunities; ensure business and data requirements remain aligned to intended outcomes throughout delivery.
  • Identify where AI can be applied to enhance decision-making, automation, analytics, and operational efficiency, ensuring use cases are grounded in practical feasibility.
  • Structure ambiguous client problem statements into clear, actionable workstreams; facilitate workshops and design sessions to ensure alignment across business and technology stakeholders.
  • Contribute to reusable proposition assets including semantic models, business glossaries, data definitions, and reference architectures to support delivery and internal capability development.
  • Embed data- and AI-centric thinking across domain propositions, helping shape integrated solutions that combine business architecture, data foundations, analytics, and AI capabilities.

Job requirements

Education and Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree required; advanced degree in Business, Information Systems, Data Science, or a related discipline is advantageous.
  • Professional or industry certifications in business architecture, data management, or (re)insurance (e.g. TOGAF, DAMA, ACII, or equivalent frameworks) are advantageous but not essential.

Key Skills and Behaviours

  • Strong understanding of Commercial & Specialty Insurance, Reinsurance, and/or Delegated Authority value chains, with the ability to apply domain knowledge to structure data assets, operating models, and architecture decisions.
  • Proven ability to design target operating models, business capability maps, and architecture-aligned solutions in complex (re)insurance environments.
  • Strong understanding of semantic and logical data modelling, business data concepts, and how these underpin analytical and AI-driven outcomes.
  • Good understanding of AI-enabled transformation and the dependencies between business processes, data structures, governance, and technology, with the ability to identify and assess practical AI use cases.
  • Ability to work effectively across business and technology domains — engaging architects, engineers, and senior stakeholders without being a pure technical specialist.
  • Familiarity with cloud, data, and analytics environments, with sufficient understanding to shape solution direction and challenge technical approaches.
  • Strong communication and facilitation skills, including leading workshops and engaging senior stakeholders, with the ability to translate complex topics into clear and actionable outputs.
  • Comfortable operating independently or as part of a wider delivery team in fast-paced consulting environments.

Specific Previous Experience

  • Minimum 8–10 years of relevant experience in consulting, insurance/reinsurance, insurtech, or related financial services.
  • Experience contributing to data- and AI-enabled transformation initiatives, including operating model design, analytics, governance, or broader transformation programme

Location: London-based, with flexibility for client site work and global travel.
