• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to communicate effectively and build trusted relationships across business and technology teams.
• Proven ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.

Preferred

• Experience supporting digital insurance, small commercial insurance, direct-to-broker, or other high-volume transactional businesses.
