Job Opportunity at We Insure Group

At We Insure Group, we are passionate, driven, and purposeful in our mission to personalize protection at the right value. We believe in delivering tailored insurance solutions that meet each client's unique needs, ensuring they feel confident and supported in every decision.

As both a franchise platform and direct insurance provider, We Insure empowers like-minded entrepreneurs with the opportunity to own and operate successful agencies. With over 200 locations across 35 states, we support our agency owners, customers, and carrier partners by enabling faster service, greater efficiency, better choices, and improved results.

What sets us apart? We're data-driven for better value and people led for better service. Our purpose is rooted in clarity, guidance, and long-term trust helping individuals and business owners make informed choices about their insurance coverage. We're building something meaningful and looking for purpose-driven individuals to help lead the way.

Key Responsibilities

Technology Strategy & Roadmap

  • Develop and refine a technology modernization roadmap in alignment with business goals.
  • Identify 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.

  • Experience with RESTful APIs (JSON) including integrating 3rd-party services.
  • Cloud expertise (AWS or Azure) in deploying applications and using cloud services.
  • Comfort with databases and data modeling (SQL, possibly Snowflake or similar). Some experience with RPA tools or scripting for automation is a plus.
  • Strategic Thinking :

  • Demonstrated ability to align technology initiatives with business strategy.
  • Experience creating multi-quarter roadmaps and executing systematically.
  • Able to evaluate build vs buy decisions and assess new tech vendors or solutions.
  • Project & Team Management :

  • Strong project management skills able to scope tasks, create realistic timelines, and manage resources for multiple concurrent projects.
  • Experience leading small agile teams, including coordinating with remote / offshore developers if applicable.
  • Ability to mentor and develop junior engineers, instilling best practices in code quality and documentation.
  • Communication & Collaboration :

  • Excellent communication skills with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Able to translate complex tech concepts into business implications (and vice versa).

  • Experience in change management guiding users through system / process changes is important in a franchise context.
