Role Overview

We are looking for an experienced Integration Team Lead to support a major Guidewire transformation programme in the UK.

The successful candidate will take ownership of the integration workstream around Guidewire ClaimCenter Cloud, leading technical delivery across Guidewire integrations and the wider cloud ecosystem.

This role requires strong hands-on Guidewire integration expertise combined with the ability to lead engineers, shape integration design and work effectively with architecture, business and delivery teams.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the Guidewire integration team across design, development and delivery.
• Own integration architecture and technical delivery for Guidewire ClaimCenter Cloud.
• Design and implement integrations between Guidewire and internal/external systems.
• Work extensively with Guidewire Integration Gateway and Guidewire Cloud integration capabilities.
• Provide technical leadership across APIs, services, messaging and cloud-based integrations.
• Lead and mentor Guidewire developers and integration engineers.
• Review technical designs and ensure adherence to Guidewire and cloud architecture standards.
• Troubleshoot complex integration and performance issues.
• Work closely with Solution Architects, Business Analysts and Guidewire functional teams.
• Support delivery across development, testing, deployment and production-readiness activities.
• Help establish integration standards, development practices and governance across the programme.
• Strong commercial experience with Guidewire ClaimCenter.
• Recent experience working with Guidewire Cloud.
• Strong Guidewire integration-side expertise.
• Experience with Guidewire Integration Gateway.
• Experience with Guidewire Home.
• Experience designing and developing REST/API and service-based integrations.
• Good understanding of cloud architecture and cloud-native integration patterns.
• Previous experience leading or technically mentoring an integration/development team.
• Strong stakeholder communication skills and the ability to work across architecture and delivery teams.
• UK-based with experience delivering Guidewire programmes in complex enterprise environments.
• Guidewire certifications/accreditations.
• Experience with ClaimCenter Cloud migration or upgrade programmes.
• Insurance industry experience, particularly UK general insurance or London Market.
• Experience with CI/CD, DevOps and automated deployment within Guidewire Cloud environments.
• Experience integrating Guidewire with third-party insurance platforms and services.

Candidate Profile

We are particularly interested in candidates who combine deep hands-on Guidewire integration expertise with team leadership capability. This is not purely an architecture role—the successful candidate should be technically strong enough to guide development teams, challenge designs and assist with complex integration issues when required.

Permanent candidates are preferred, although strong freelance/contract Integration Leads can also be considered.
