And we each bring a little quirkiness—and genius—to the table. As the landscape of our industry continues to shift, we respond with flexibility and skill.
We’re braving uncharted territory, pushing past the conventional with our products, partners, and people. Never has there been a more exciting time to join!
As a Cloud Go-Live Manager, you will build and maintain strong relationships with our Guidewire Customers, providing firm guidance and leadership support. Cloud Go-Live Managers focus on the “Path to Production” and initial Go-Live of a Guidewire Cloud customer’s journey.

Through the journey, you will evaluate the production readiness of our customers by managing the planning and execution from “Build” to “Run.” You’ll ensure that both Guidewire and the customer are prepared for a successful transition to production. On a day-to-day basis, you will be involved in areas such as Deployment Plan development, Dry Run scheduling, resource coordination and execution of the Deployment Plan. No matter what task you face on a given day, you will collaborate closely with an impressive team of peers whose primary goal is our customer’s success. Finally, during post-production, you’ll act as a thought expert for internal Guidewire teams on cutover and deployment questions.
This customer-facing role emphasizes exceptional service, including professional communication, timely responses, and a strong sense of urgency in customer success.
