Business process knowledge/skillset is less important than strong skills in business requirement analysis.  It's key that this person does have strong communication skills with a clear pronunciation as he/she will probably be assigned to global initiative with conf calls etc.  It's important for this person to have experience and knowledge in insurance not matter what LOB.
