The Demonstration Solutions team is responsible for delivering creative, solution-focused demonstration implementations to the Sales organization for presentation to prospects. We are currently expanding our team at headquarters to dedicate more time and effort to support our sales efforts. The position involves working directly with members of the Sales and demonstration solutions development team to configure our complex solution demonstrations that include country specific localizations. In this role we look for critical thinkers - people who can rapidly consume domain knowledge and design and configure comprehensive functionality in Guidewire's suite of products. We place a high value on being able to contribute to a fast paced environment in a multitude of development related tasks. The successful candidate will have 5+ years of software development experience or configuring packaged application software with experience in leading successful software implementations. As a team lead, you will be responsible for managing multiple releases of our demonstration solution to the Sales organization.

You will also be an active part of development and therefore will require hands on development experience. You must be a self-starter and able to perform with minimal supervision while working in a diverse team environment following Agile processes for software development. You must have strong technical skills, such as the ability to code in an object oriented programming language, editing XML configuration files, or troubleshoot environment configuration issues. Although this is not a customer facing role it may include direct participation in sales opportunities and proofs-of-concept: designing, developing, and configuring creative and innovative solutions to prospects' requirements. The candidate filling this position will be based out of Guidewire's headquarters in Foster City, CA. As a team lead, you will:
- have other team members reporting to you and therefore will need to be a proven leader with team management experience.
- take ownership of the product backlog and work with both the Sales Consultants, Team Leads, and other team members to plan and implement multiple releases. You should also be able to identify the differences between an out of the box feature versus demo feature applied to the product
- willing to participate in product update meetings and share it with the rest of team.
- have demonstrated ability to understand business process needs, rationalize those needs into technical solutions and to conceptualize which needs can be satisfied through our software. The solution design should consider the potential impact across different regions.

- can quickly, easily, and enthusiastically learn how to use new technology
- are self-driven with a high level of creativity
