About

We're supporting a major insurance transformation programme in Switzerland and are looking for a German speaking Business Analyst with strong testing experience to join a long-term engagement in the claims space.

• Translating business requirements into clear, structured IT specifications
• Working closely with stakeholders across business & IT to drive alignment
• Coordinating and supporting test case creation and execution
• Leading testing activities and ensuring quality across deliveries
• Managing defects end-to-end (tracking, prioritisation, resolution)
• Running test status updates and keeping progress transparent

Requirements

• Strong experience as a Business Analyst within insurance
• Must have: solid experience in testing / test coordination
• Good understanding of claims / non-life insurance processes
• Experience with test tools (e.g. Jira, Xray)
• Comfortable working in agile environments
• Confident communicator who can push things forward
• German C-level (essential)

Nice to have

• Experience with test data management / test environments
• Exposure to automation or digital transformation programmes

Setup

• One day a week on site in Basel to begin with - more flexibility (1/2 days a month) once settled and inducted
• 80-100% workload
• Contract until end of 2026
