opportunities to
leverage
technology for efficiency, better customer experience, and competitive differentiation. Present strategy and updates to executive leadership and
company ownership
. Project Leadership Lead end-to-end execution of technology projects – from quick-win
automations
to long-term platform implementations. Prioritize and manage a portfolio of initiatives (system integrations, software development, vendor implementations) using agile best practices. Ensure projects are delivered on time and within budget. Systems Integration & Architecture Oversee the integration of our core systems (Applied Epic AMS,
InsuredMine
CRM, comparative raters, telephony, data warehouse, etc.). Design and implement a cohesive architecture that reduces data silos – e.g., integrating via APIs and middleware. Take ownership of data flow and accuracy across platforms. Software Development & Automation: Architect and develop cloud-native tools to fill gaps not met by vendors. Examples: build lightweight web applications for agents (unified portal/dashboard), automation scripts or RPA bots for repetitive tasks, custom reporting solutions, and potentially customer-facing apps/portals. Ensure solutions are secure, scalable, and maintainable. Vendor Management Act as the primary liaison with key technology vendors (Applied Systems, etc.). Evaluate third-party solutions and negotiate contracts/pricing in collaboration with procurement. Ensure we are fully leveraging vendor capabilities
and also
holding them accountable to support our needs (for example, advocating for API enhancements or better franchise-specific features). Cloud Infrastructure & Security Oversee our cloud infrastructure (primarily AWS) and ensure
reliability
and security of all systems. Coordinate with any IT/security resources to implement
appropriate data
protection, backups, and cybersecurity measures (MFA, encryption, compliance with insurance data regulations). Though we have vendor-hosted systems, you will ensure our integrated environment meets high availability standards. Metrics & Reporting Define and track key performance indicators (KPIs) for technology operations – e.g., project ROI, adoption rates of new tools, system uptime, response times, etc. Provide transparent updates to leadership and franchisees on tech improvements (for instance, monthly summary of efficiencies gained). Use data to drive decision-making and continuous improvement in the tech team. Qualifications Experience: 7+ years in software engineering / IT roles with at least 3+ years in a technology leadership or engineering manager position.
