Distribution and Corporate Back Office

Responsible for a large, complex development organization (30+ developers) consisting of both individual contributors and development managers across all of these areas

Technical & Architecture Skills

Deep expertise in modern application architecture, cloud platforms, and software engineering best practices

Proven track record of leading large-scale legacy modernization initiatives and reducing technical debt in complex, regulated environments

Hands-on experience with Guidewire or comparable P&C insurance platforms is strongly preferred

Hands-on experience designing and delivering AI-powered applications — not just AI awareness, but actual build experience

Familiarity with insurance systems and data (policy, claims, billing) across both P&C and Life lines is a strong plus

Experience with finance and commissions systems and processes is a nice-to-have, given the breadth of business lines supported

Team Leadership & People Management

Demonstrated experience leading 30+ person development organizations with a mix of ICs and engineering managers

Skilled at developing managers — coaching, holding accountable, and elevating leadership capability across the team

Able to attract, retain, and grow top technical talent in a competitive market

Ability to translate business goals into a clear, prioritized application development roadmap across a multi-line portfolio

Experience leading multi-year modernization programs with measurable outcomes

Has a point of view on where AI fits into the development strategy and can build a credible path to adoption

Stakeholder & Executive Communication

Able to make the case for investment in modernization and AI in business value terms, not just technical terms

Builds trust across the organization by delivering on commitments and communicating transparently when things change

Skilled at managing competing priorities and expectations across diverse business line partners

AI, Modern Tooling & Low-Code Platforms

Understands AI tooling, frameworks, and integration patterns relevant to enterprise development, including generative AI, large language models, and AI-assisted development tools

Familiar with and able to evaluate modern low-code/no-code platforms (such as Microsoft Power Platform, OutSystems, Mendix, or similar) and knows when they are the right fit vs. custom development

Actively leverages modern developer productivity tools — including AI coding assistants, CI/CD automation, and cloud-native development platforms — to accelerate delivery and reduce toil

Can lead a team toward responsible, practical AI and low-code adoption that delivers real business outcomes without creating new technical debt

Able to assess vendor solutions and build vs. buy vs. configure tradeoffs across traditional, AI, and low-code options

Pay Range:

$146,500.00 - $208,750.00

Salary is commensurate to experience, location, etc.

Horace Mann was founded in 1945 by two Springfield, Illinois, teachers who saw a need for quality, affordable auto insurance for teachers. Since then, we’ve broadened our mission to helping all educators protect what they have today and prepare for a successful tomorrow. And with our broadened mission has come corporate growth: We serve more than 4,100 school districts nationwide, we’re publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange (symbol: HMN) and we have more than $12 billion in assets.

We’re motivated by the fact that educators take care of our children’s future, and we believe they deserve someone to look after theirs. We help educators identify their financial goals and develop plans to achieve them. This includes insurance to protect what they have today and financial products to help them prepare for their future. Our tailored offerings include special rates and benefits for educators.
