Why we read it this way (7)
The title says 'QA Lead' and the responsibilities center on test design, execution, and coverage — primary classification is QA/Testing (15-1253). However, the role also involves deep Guidewire configuration knowledge, product model analysis, and business requirements analysis, which creates some overlap with Systems Analyst work (15-1211).
The '8+ years' figure is tied to combined P&C insurance and Guidewire PolicyCenter experience; the '5+ years in Commercial Lines' is a domain sub-requirement within that same gate, not a separate technology year count.
HP ALM is listed as one example in a set of interchangeable test management tools ('such as HP ALM, Jira, ADO, or Rally'); all four are captured as alternatives under a single skill.
Guidewire Analyst Associate certification is listed under Required Skills and is treated as a hard gate. ISTQB and Agile certifications are explicitly marked 'preferred' in the same sentence.
No compensation range is stated in the posting.
Employment type is not specified; the posting is from a staffing/consulting firm (Derex Technologies), so this could be contract or full-time — the JD does not say.
