  • You are building the Operating Model and Onboarding Playbooks from the ground up. The frameworks you design today will dictate how the business interacts with external partners (MGAs/TPAs) for years to come.
  • You’ll work elbow-to-elbow with Senior Data Architects to translate technical grit into clear business value. It’s the perfect spot for someone who speaks “Data” but thinks “Strategy.”

The ideal background:They’re looking for someone with 8-10+ years of experience. You’ve been through the fires of enterprise transformation and speak the language of Bordereaux, Solvency II, and API integration. You don’t just find gaps; you build the bridge to cross them.
