Job description

Vantage is seeking a Head of Technology Enablement to lead a portfolio of underwriting, operational, and technology build and transformation initiatives, serving as the connective layer between our underwriting business units and Data, Analytics & Technology organization (DA&T). Reporting to the CUO, UW Operations, you will drive evaluation, prioritization, definitions and execution of new technology initiatives to support and enable Vantage’s businesses.

This is a builder and developer role: because Vantage’s technology foundation was established in 2020 rather than inherited from decades of legacy infrastructure, you’ll have latitude to partner with DA&T to evaluate, prioritize and continually evolve best-in-class systems rather than work around outdated ones. You will establish and lead a structured project governance and intake framework, spearhead executive steering committee reviews, and manage the integration of in-house and vendor systems across underwriting, operations, actuarial, and finance. You will also manage a team that owns core operational systems including submissions processing, underwriting premium systems, producer and document management systems, and customer management systems., * Lead a portfolio of underwriting, operational, and technology transformation initiatives, driving scalability and alignment across functional domains.

  • Serve as the primary bridge between underwriting businesses, operations, and DA&T across major projects and initiatives, ensuring the pieces connect end to end without owning day-to-day project delivery.
  • Establish and own a structured project governance and intake framework for evaluating new project requests, including impacts, dependencies, risks, and stakeholder engagement.
  • Spearhead executive steering committee reviews to facilitate high-level decision-making, risk mitigation, and strategic alignment.
  • Partner with executive leadership to develop and execute a technology and operations enablement roadmap that supports business growth, efficiency, and scalability.
  • Assess, prioritize, monitor and report on the integration of in-house and vendor systems, ensuring coordination across DA&T, underwriting, operations, actuarial, and finance.
  • Translate business needs into practical technology solutions and translate technical constraints back into terms business stakeholders can act on.
  • Promote, support, and monitor business usage of technology solutions and measure the business impact.
  • Lead data stewardship practices across operational systems to ensure data integrity and usability for downstream business and technology initiatives.
  • Manage and develop a team spanning onshore and offshore resources, delegating operational ownership to build team capacity.
  • Lead the redesign of future-state processes, hand-offs, and decision points as new data, analytics, and technology capabilities are introduced so insights/data/systems are integrated with maximum impact.
  • Serve as a cross-functional subject matter expert on how the organization’s systems, teams, and processes connect from front-line operations to executive strategy, and flag structural or resourcing risks to leadership proactively., Do What’s Right - be a force for good, for our customers, shareholders, colleagues, industry and communities.

Be Relentlessly Curious - ask questions, listen to understand, challenge the status quo, look for ways to say YES, drive innovation, be opportunistic and disciplined.

We’re Better Together - collaborate, be inclusive, supportive, respectful and humble, be a trusted partner internally and externally.

Be Transparent - in who you are, what you think, and how you work, seek and provide alternative points of view, be true to yourself.

Make A Difference - focus on impact, embrace technology, leverage data and analytics as critical assets, act intentionally to deliver on our mission.

We value diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees. At Vantage, we strive to build and foster a culture where inclusiveness is ingrained, not just an initiative. All colleagues support building an inclusive environment where employees feel empowered to share their experiences and ideas to foster an environment which encourages you to ā€œBe You!ā€ We are proud to be an equal opportunity employer.
