About The Position

Convr is an AI underwriting, data, and intelligent document automation workbench built for commercial P&C insurers. We help carriers, MGAs, and brokers accelerate premium growth, improve risk insights, and drive operational efficiency. Founded in 2016, Convr transforms outdated, manual processes into structured, decision-ready workflows. Our modular platform manages underwriting from submission through quote with a purpose-built AI decisioning context engine – grounded in a commercial insurance ontology – ensuring complete data and smarter decisions, faster, while enabling a frictionless experience and superior performance. As we scale, we’re building a team shaping the future of commercial underwriting. Join us in modernizing commercial insurance with modern AI.

As a Data Business Analyst, you will play a critical role in enabling high-quality, scalable insurance data capabilities across our platform. This is a high-impact role that sits at the intersection of insurance operations, data engineering, product, and analytics, ensuring that complex insurance data is accurately modeled, trusted, and ready for downstream use. You will act as the primary translator mapping data into a normalized structure that supports analytics, AI, and underwriting workflows. In parallel, you will proactively evaluate new insurance-specific data sources and work with internal teams to onboard and operationalize them. In addition to data modeling responsibilities, you will play a key role in data quality and reliability, identifying anomalies, gaps, and inconsistencies across transformation processes. You will partner closely with data engineering and product teams to diagnose root causes, improve validation frameworks, and ensure data integrity at scale. Success in this role requires a strong understanding of insurance data and domain concepts, the ability to analyze complex datasets end-to-end, and excellent cross-functional collaboration skills to drive execution across business and technical teams.
