Hi Everyone,

I am currently a Premium Analyst for an insurance administrator. I am responsible for reviewing bill files that are sent to large payroll offices. The bill files incdicate how much the employer shoud deduct from an employee for certain benefits they are enrolled into. We then receive a payment file indicating who was deducted from, and how much was received for each person. There are reports generated, based on the information on the payment files, and the next pay period, we bill according to what was received (the cycle starts over).

I have been with this company for two years, and started in customer service. I took the premium analyst job six months ago, and I have already become well versed in the position. Actually it's becoming a bit boring, my manager has advised me that she believes I would make a good business analyst. Does anyone have any advice on how I can move towards becoming a BA? My manager has tried to include me in some of the processes the BA's perform, and even told me she believes I would make a great BA. However I am finding that it is not going anywhere, and I basically feel like I am "stuck" in my position.  I really want to move forward, and be challenged, but I am unsure how to get there.

Any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated. I thank you for your time.

Jonathan
