Application Solutions Architecture Consultant, Guidewire

• The client envisions a senior solutions architect whosetechnical expertise is based on the suite Complete Guidewire (PolicyCenter,ClaimCenter, BillingCenter), tasked with acting as a technical reference andmentoring developers on this platform.
  
• The recurring terms in the job description (reference,mentor, best practices, resource person) indicate a technical leadership rolethat goes beyond the production of traditional architecture deliverables.
  
• The role combines two distinct dimensions: formal enterprisearchitecture (repositories, Archimate notation, architecture documents,non-functional requirements) and deep product expertise in Guidewireconfiguration (Gosu, PCF pages). This implies a hybrid profile rather than ageneralist architect without product-specific knowledge.
  
• This role should not be confused with a senior Guidewiredeveloper position: the role explicitly requires the production of architecturedocuments, supporting teams in detailed design, and communicating with diverseaudiences (business, functional, management, scrum masters, delivery managers),not just configuration or development.
