• Prior experience in property & casualty insurance (required)
• Strong experience leading Snowflake migration efforts and cloud data platforms
• Proven track record in building data governance frameworks and scaling reporting functions
• Experience managing or mentoring data/analytics teams
• Comfortable communicating with both technical and non-technical audiences, including executives

Why You Should Consider This Opportunity

• You’ll lead the data journey for a stable, highly rated insurance carrier investing in growth
