Ideally, this position will be located at either of our Conshohocken, PA or Dallas, TX offices.

Own the day-to-day execution of assigned integration projects across the full program lifecycle:

Managing project execution

• Build and maintain detailed project plans, timelines, RAID logs, and status trackers for assigned programs.
• Run project standups, working sessions, and stakeholder check-ins - prepare agendas, capture decisions and action items, and drive follow-through.
• Coordinate deliverables across internal workstreams including Operations, Legal, Technology, Finance, Actuary, and Marketing - ensuring each team understands what is needed and by when.
• Maintain the master project list and portfolio tracking tools, keeping statuses current and accurate.

Supporting program heads through operational readiness

• Serve as the primary day-to-day contact for program heads navigating the integration process - guiding them through each workstream and making sure nothing falls through the cracks.
• Manage program heads through the operational readiness checklist, tracking completion of all pre-go-live requirements and escalating gaps.
• Coordinate vendor touchpoints and keep deliverables on track.
• Support requirements-gathering sessions alongside the VP and system integrator partners, ensuring program teams provide timely, complete inputs.

Tracking progress and surfacing blockers

• Monitor project milestones and flag delays or risks early
• Maintain accurate RAID logs and ensure action owners are aware and accountable.
• Prepare status reports and executive updates for review by the VP of Integrations; escalate issues requiring senior-level resolution.
• Track open items with external vendors and carriers, following up proactively to keep commitments on schedule.

Supporting go-live readiness

• Coordinate all aspects of the go live requirements for the project.
• Track completion of go-live prerequisites and ensure nothing is missing at launch.
• Maintain go-live checklists and sign-off documentation for each program.

Contributing to the factory model

• Follow established SOPs and playbooks consistently - then flag where they need to be updated based on what you see in the field.
• Contribute to lessons-learned capture after each go-live or major milestone.
• Act as a thought partner to the VP - bring observations, flag patterns, and suggest improvements to the integration process.

• Bachelor's degree in Project Management, Business Administration, or related discipline.
• 3-5 years of experience in project management, program coordination, or operations - ideally in an insurance or financial services environment.
• Experience in an MGA, MGU, or specialty insurance environment strongly preferred.
• PMP, CSM, or similar project management certification preferred; not required.
• Demonstrated ability to manage multiple concurrent projects in a fast-paced, cross-functional environment.
• Strong organizational skills and attention to detail
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills; comfortable presenting status to leadership and navigating difficult conversations.
• Proficient in project management tools (Monday.com, MS Project, Excel, or equivalent); experience maintaining dashboards and trackers.
• Comfortable operating with ambiguity - you can make reasonable judgment calls and know when to escalate.

First 90 days

• Projects are organized and visible - every assigned program has a current plan, RAID log, and status tracker that leadership can reference at any time.
• Program heads know their point of contact - you are embedded with your assigned programs and they are moving through the operational readiness process with a clear guide.
• Blockers are surfaced early - you are flagging risks and delays before they miss milestones, not after.

180 - 270 days

• Programs are hitting go-live milestones - your assigned programs are completing milestones on track and launching on schedule.
• Playbooks are being executed consistently - you are running programs through the factory model, not reinventing the process for each one.
• You are a trusted part of the integration team - the VP of Integrations, program heads, and workstream leads see you as the person who makes things happen and keeps the machine running.
