In the Applications team within Gard’s Technology organisation, you will work closely with business users, IT colleagues and external suppliers. Your initial focus will be M-Files technical support, creating and maintaining custom reports, and user support and administration of our insurance system. Over time, you can take responsibility for other applications and help shape how they develop.\nKey responsibilities\nProvide technical support for M-Files, our document management system. Investigate issues, document solutions and work with users, colleagues and the supplier to resolve problems.\nManage access to, and retrieval of, documents from legacy document management systems, helping colleagues locate historical information when needed.\nPrepare and maintain manual and ad hoc reports from our insurance system. Clarify needs with business users, validate results and document report logic and outputs.\nWork with the team on administration of our insurance system, including configuration, access, support and releases, working with colleagues and the system vendor.\nImprove recurring reporting and support tasks, using automation where appropriate. Build clear documentation and share knowledge so that solutions remain maintainable.\nTake on future service owner or product owner responsibility for other applications: understand business needs, agree priorities, coordinate suppliers and changes, and follow the application through its lifecycle.\nKey competencies\nYou have practical experience writing SQL queries and can check whether results make business sense. You are comfortable investigating application issues, working with relational data and explaining technical findings clearly. You can turn a user’s question into a well-defined task and document what you have done. Clear written and spoken English is essential. You are motivated to learn how our core business processes work and how our applications support them.\nExperience with M-Files and insurance or finance in general is an advantage, not a requirement. Application ownership, vendor management, release coordination, monitoring, and scripting or automation are also useful. We do not expect expertise in every area: the ability and motivation to learn unfamiliar systems matter more. This is an application-focused role, not a full-time developer or database administrator position.\nPersonal skills\nYou are curious, approachable and methodical. You enjoy a varied working day and take ownership of problems while knowing when to involve others. You balance responsive support with longer-term improvements, keep users informed and follow tasks through. Above all, you want to understand how technology supports the business and make everyday work easier for colleagues.\nWhat we offer\nStrong pension and insurance benefits\nThe stability of a long-term, highly respected employer\nA collaborative, in-house environment where technology is central to the business\nA strong focus on work-life balance and sustainable ways of working\nAccess to company cabins and apartments, plus support for workout and health initiatives\nAn open and social culture with regular Gard events and knowledge sharing\nExcellent opportunities for professional growth, learning, and international collaboration\nSounds interesting? Apply today! If you have questions about the role, you can reach out to Nils-Petter Nilsen.\nWe perform background checks on all relevant candidates through our partner EY","description_format":"text","description_chars":3820,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"English","level":"All levels","optional":false}]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Property & Casualty Insurance"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-27T17:11:34Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":7,"expected_fill_days":25,"reasons":["conf:4","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-11-04T06:34:25Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/gard-technical-business-analyst","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/gard-technical-business-analyst.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-05T04:30:24Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":5581,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-06T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":49751},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=49751"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fgard-technical-business-analyst"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fgard-technical-business-analyst"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fgard-technical-business-analyst"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/gard-technical-business-analyst\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fgard-technical-business-analyst"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3345816}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"gard.no","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3345816},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
