Built on entrepreneurial spirit, we prioritize leadership, accountability, and collaboration — equipping our teams to work at the highest levels and solve meaningful challenges. **ROLE OVERVIEW** The Director of Agentic Automation owns engineering for Distribution and Placement — the systems and agentic workflows that move submissions to market and quotes back to producers. The domain spans the placement layer above the AMSs, agentic application-to-bind, and the producer-facing submission and placement experience. This is a senior leadership role that pairs deep insurance-domain judgement with a clear vision for where AI and agentic automation transform distribution. The Director owns the domain's outcomes end to end: its product direction, its roadmap, its delivery, and its relationship with the business. They lead a group of pods — each with a Tech Lead and engineers who own deep technical design and build — and are accountable for translating business need into systems that measurably move how the business places and binds risk.
