The Senior Director of Insurance Transformation is the senior execution leader responsible for driving predictable delivery of Hagerty's Apex insurance platform transformation. This role is designed for a hands-on project management professional with deep experience delivering large-scale core insurance system implementations (e.g., Duck Creek, Guidewire, Majesco).

What you'll do

Program Execution & Delivery Leadership

• Own the integrated master schedule for Apex across multiple parallel workstreams (Policy, Billing, Claims, Distribution, Data, Integrations, Forms).
• Build, maintain, and continuously refine the critical path and critical chain, identifying true constraints and protecting delivery buffers.
• Actively manage cross-team dependencies, sequencing work to optimize end-to-end outcomes rather than local efficiency.
• Force explicit trade-offs between scope, timing, and capacity, escalating decisions early with data-backed recommendations.
• Re-forecast milestones and delivery dates based on actual execution reality, not static plans.

Project Management & Integration

• Lead and integrate the work of multiple Project Managers responsible for bounded delivery slices (e.g., state readiness, capability releases).
• Ensure project-level plans roll up coherently into the integrated program schedule.
• Eliminate "late discovery" by enforcing readiness criteria before work begins (requirements, environments, data, dependencies).
• Act as the single point of synthesis across business and IT delivery efforts.

Capacity, Risk & Constraint Management

• Partner with IT APMO to align delivery plans with real engineering and vendor capacity.
• Identify bottlenecks and systemic constraints early; re-sequence work proactively.
• Actively manage delivery risk, buffer consumption, and emerging execution threats.
• Ensure risks are surfaced as program-level decisions, not absorbed silently at the team level.

This might describe you

• Proven experience delivering complex, cross-functional transformation initiatives, preferably in insurance or financial services.
• Experience in multiple project/program delivery methods, Scrum, SAFe, etc.
• Demonstrated hands-on experience with core insurance system implementations (Duck Creek).
• Vendor management experience.
• Proven expertise in:
  • Dependency mapping across parallel workstreams
  • Work sequencing under real constraints
  • Critical path and critical chain planning
  • Capacity and bottleneck management
  • Rolling schedule and delivery forecasting
• Strong executive communication skills, including the ability to challenge optimistic assumptions constructively.
• Advanced proficiency with project planning and tracking tools (e.g., ADO, Smartsheet, Lucid, similar).

Above and beyond

• PMP Certification (Project Management Professional).
• Experience working within a matrixed organization or enterprise PMO/TMO environment.
• Background in systems modernization, insurance platform implementations, or large-scale operational transformation initiatives.
• Familiarity with Agile, hybrid, or iterative delivery models in large transformations.
• Background in insurance operations (underwriting, policy admin, billing, claims, distribution) strongly preferred.
