## About the role

The Program Development Manager leads the Dayton team that builds Authentic's insurance programs. The team turns approved rates, rules and forms into live configuration in Authentic's policy administration system (PAS), and handles the steady flow of changes that live programs need. You'll start by managing a small team of 5-6 Program Developers and will be responsible for building and growing that team as our program portfolio expands.

## What they're looking for

- Experience in insurance or insurtech, especially with a policy administration system (an in-house PAS, Guidewire, Duck Creek or similar)
- Proven project management skills: you've run several workstreams at once, managed dependencies and deadlines, and kept stakeholders informed
- Background in IT, technical operations, systems implementation or another tech-adjacent environment
- A genuine desire to develop people, with real examples of coaching someone to grow in their role
- Comfortable with technical and configuration systems, and willing to learn basic coding and Git workflows (no software engineering background required)
- Some strategic thinking: you can see how your team's work connects to the rest of the business and improve how it gets done
