That’s right – we DO exist.  We’re Applied Systems, and we’ve been looking for you, too.

Job Summary
Applied Systems, Inc., the worldwide leader in insurance technology, is currently searching for a Design Analyst to be assigned to a Product Management team and act as a liaison between our Developers and our clients.  In this role, you work closely with the insurance agencies currently using our products to develop business requirements for new product functionality.  You will have extensive interaction with clients, prospects, and industry representatives in order to learn about the functionality and features needed in the products (travel requirement of 25%).  You will perform your duties under moderate supervision and, with experience, you will become more independent in researching issues and providing solutions to enhancement requests.

Additional responsibilities include:

  • Create representative user-interface that promotes consistency within the product and supports the Business Requirement documents
  • Maintain accurate Business Requirement documents in programs (i.e. if desired functionality is technically not feasible, updates Business Requirement with agreed upon solution)
  • Remain focused on the products throughout all stages of the life-cycle: conception, definition, development, release, and post-release activities
  • Interact with internal departments to facilitate life-cycle stages
Requirements
  • Associate’s degree or equivalent work experience
  • Ability to learn the entire suite of Applied Systems’ software offerings
  • Possess a good understanding of the Insurance Industry
  • Excellent organizational and communication skills
  • Well-developed testing experience/solid troubleshooting skills
  • Experience using automated testing tools
