Job Requirements
- 6–8+ years of experience working directly within the insurance industry (e.g., P&C, Life, Commercial, reinsurance, or brokerage) or as a lead consultant/program manager driving digital transformation for tier-1 insurance carriers.
- Strong understanding of core insurance operations, such as claims processing, underwriting, policy administration, or compliance. You understand the operational pain points of document-heavy manual workflows and how automation directly impacts key insurance metrics (e.g., combined ratios, loss adjustment expenses, and cycle times).

You are highly comfortable coordinating cross-functional teams to deliver operational changes in legacy corporate environments.

However, you must have strong analytical and logical aptitude, and feel comfortable learning how software integrations, data structures, and automation platforms map to operational workflows.
- Value-Driven Commercial Mindset: Experience in post-implementation value tracking (e.g., defining ROI, throughput gains, and cost-of-service reductions) to ensure deep organizational adoption and identify new operational areas that can benefit from automation.
- Resilience in Legacy Environments: Highly collaborative, self-motivated, and energized by navigating the complex IT landscapes, regulatory requirements, and change-management challenges typical of major insurance enterprises.
