With a company culture rooted in collaboration, expertise and innovation, we aim to promote progress and inspire our clients, employees, investors and communities to achieve their greatest potential. Our work is the catalyst that helps others achieve their goals. Software Development Manager
At Arch Insurance International we put technology at the centre of everything we do. This has helped us grow by approximately 30% last year and this trajectory is planned to continue.
Over the past 2 years we have invested significantly to move away from the traditional approaches to IT within financial institutions and to a framework focussed on products. Through this we have embedded agile teams aligned to each function in the company. Each agile team has dedicated team members and is focussed on key customer outcomes. This has done away with the overbearing bureaucracy you often find in financial organisations and instead made us nimble and fast to change.
The General Insurance domain consists of two of these agile teams which are focussed on the complete customer journey for our International General Insurance business: Australia), Digital Trading (e/Integrated trading and CRM).
