Job description

Job Description:

Pacific Life is seeking an experienced and visionary Assistant Vice President, Policy Administration Strategy & Architecture to drive the strategic direction and execution of policy administration systems focused on advancing capabilities through digitization, automation, and AI enablement across our Consumer Markets Division, delivering scalable, efficient, and customer-centric solutions.

This role will lead the technical strategy, architecture, and execution of core administration systems, partnering closely with business leaders in a "two-in-a-box" model to deliver measurable business outcomes. The AVP will champion innovation, define the future-state architecture, and ensure alignment between technology investments and business priorities to position the organization for long-term success.

This role will be located onsite in one of our office locations, preferably in Newport Beach, CA.

What you'll own:
Strategic Leadership & Transformation
  • Define and evolve the technology strategy and capability roadmap for Policy Administration aligned to enterprise architecture and business priorities.
  • Partner in a "two-in-a-box" model with business leadership to co-own shared OKRs and outcomes.
  • Drive modernization by decoupling legacy components, enabling composable services, and adopting next-gen platforms and AI-driven capabilities.
  • Identify where automation and AI can materially improve straight-through processing, service efficiency, data quality, and customer experience.
Platform Delivery & Execution
  • Lead dedicated engineering teams responsible for core Policy Administration platforms, including FAST.
  • Translate business needs into crisp, actionable delivery plans-turning vision into roadmaps, epics, and user stories with strong acceptance criteria.
  • Own execution cadence: PI planning, sprint prioritization, release strategy, and delivery metrics using agile and DevOps practices.
  • Set delivery quality standards and ensure strong execution across design, build, testing, training, launch, and support.
  • Remove roadblocks, manage dependencies, and maintain alignment across Technology, Product, Operations, and Enterprise Architecture.
Architecture & Solution Design
  • Own architectural decisions across Policy Administration platforms to ensure scalability, modularity, resiliency, and reuse.
  • Guide the design of orchestration layers, APIs/integration patterns, unified workflows, and digital self-service experiences.
  • Ensure technology investments align to business outcomes and support long-term platform sustainability.
Talent & Team Development
  • Build, mentor, and retain high-performing teams (employees + contractors + partners).
  • Promote modern engineering practices and skills development (agile, DevOps, and GenAI enablement).
  • Partner with HR and L&D on workforce planning, role clarity, and capability uplift.

Qualifications

We're looking for a leader who brings the right combination of domain depth, architecture leadership, and delivery accountability:

  • 10+ years in technology leadership roles, ideally within life and annuity insurance
  • Experience leading policy administration systems and large-scale modernization initiatives
  • Strong understanding of annuity/life products and core insurance operations
  • Proven ability to lead architecture + delivery across complex platforms and integrations
  • Experience with SaaS platforms and integrating SaaS with core administration systems
  • Strong command of agile delivery, product-centric operating models, and DevSecOps practices
  • Executive-level stakeholder influence and communication skills
  • Experience managing hybrid teams and vendor/partner relationships
  • Hands-on leadership style with a bias toward clarity, outcomes, and continuous improvement

Preferred qualifications

  • Strategic thinker with a bias for action and continuous improvement.
  • Comfortable navigating ambiguity and driving clarity in complex environments.
  • Passionate about talent development and building inclusive, high-performing teams.
At Pacific Life, you'll have the opportunity to lead work that matters: modernization of core platforms that power customer and operational experiences. You'll partner with experienced leaders, build strong teams, and shape a roadmap that is foundational to our future.
If you're a strategic, delivery-oriented technology leader who can modernize core insurance platforms and build scalable capabilities, we'd love to meet you.
