Life Insurance Operations Business Analyst (New Business) - Part-Time

Our client is a well-established international life insurer with over 125 years of presence in Singapore, operating as part of a globally recognised financial services group headquartered in North America. They offer a comprehensive suite of life insurance, health, retirement, and wealth management solutions serving individual, group, and high-net-worth client segments across Singapore.

The organisation is currently in an active phase of operational transformation, having recently invested in building a dedicated AI and automation capability to modernise its underwriting, policy servicing, and back-office operations. This creates a strong environment for SMEs who are keen to contribute to meaningful process re-engineering and system improvement initiatives rather than purely steady-state operations work.

Regulated by MAS, the business maintains a strong compliance and governance culture, and places significant emphasis on service excellence and continuous improvement across all operational functions.
