WHO WE ARE

Here at Imaginera, we create solutions to meet our client challenges across a focused marketplace of Insurance, Reinsurance and Insurance Linked Securities. We set ourselves apart from our competition by being technically at the top of our game with the unique ability to also communicate directly with our clients, understanding their complex business requirements.
Having spent eleven years creating bespoke solutions for our clients, we then diversified into a consultancy and product business. Our first product, Orca, went live in Autumn 2020 and has a busy roadmap ahead of it. We are a vibrant company with around 70 employees. Our journey so far has been an exciting and fast one – we don’t have any plans to slow down. So, if you’re excited by growth and opportunity and want to be a part of it, we would love to hear from you.

Our Business Analysts work alongside both our clients and our software engineers to design complex transformation projects. You’ll lead workshops, interviews, focus groups and utilise other techniques to effectively translate information gathered during discovery sessions into detailed requirements to help deliver successful projects for our clients. Combining strong organisation skills and stakeholder management, this role is key to our client engagement and success.
You will be joining a friendly and professional team with offices based in both Oxford and Bristol.
