Description
TEKsystems is seeking a dynamic Project Manager to drive strategic, high-impact initiatives supporting the growth and transformation of our specialty insurance operations. This role is critical in enabling our federated Underwriting Management Group (RSUM), which encompasses 30+ Managing General Underwriters (MGUs) across 80+ specialty lines, each operating with significant autonomy. The Project Manager will ensure the successful delivery of complex transformation projects while fostering consistency, process excellence, and technology enablement-without disrupting the entrepreneurial spirit and underwriting independence that define our business.
Types of Projects

Operational and Process Transformation: Lead initiatives to improve and standardize business processes, optimize workflows, and drive operational efficiencies across MGUs while respecting local business practices.
Technology and Digital Enablement: Oversee the rollout of digital platforms, underwriting workbenches, and data-driven solutions that enhance underwriting, claims, and policy administration, ensuring seamless adoption across diverse MGUs.
M&A/MGU Integration: Manage the integration of newly acquired MGUs, orchestrating process alignment, technology onboarding, and cultural assimilation, while preserving unique underwriting approaches.
Ideal Candidate Profile
The ideal candidate is a hands-on, delivery-focused Project Manager who thrives in fast-paced, entrepreneurial environments and is comfortable with ambiguity. They combine a strong sense of urgency with disciplined execution, balancing speed with control and quality. Adaptability, resilience, and a collaborative mindset are essential, as is the ability to manage competing priorities and lead through influence rather than authority. Experience in specialty insurance, property and causality (P&C) insurance, delegated authority, or underwriting environments is highly valued.
Responsibilities

Drive and coordinate multiple parallel workstreams for operational, technology, and integration projects supporting specialty insurance MGUs.
Ensure alignment across teams, proactively identify and mitigate risks and issues, and manage dependencies in a complex, federated stakeholder environment.
Oversee stakeholder management and lead effective communication across project sponsors, product owners, technical teams, and external partners.
Facilitate the creation and adoption of new underwriting tools and platforms, onboard MGUs to new systems, and support process improvement and standardization initiatives.
Lead the integration of acquired MGUs, ensuring seamless transition and alignment with Ryan Specialty's operational and compliance standards.
Maintain rigorous project governance, documentation, and compliance with regulatory and internal audit requirements.
Required Qualifications

Experience within specialty insurance, delegated authority, or underwriting environments is strongly preferred.
Proven track record managing large-scale operational and technology transformation projects, ideally in regulated, risk-focused industries.
Demonstrated ability to lead cross-functional teams and influence stakeholders across autonomous business units.
Strong organization, documentation, and risk management skills; familiarity with regulatory and compliance frameworks.
Hands-on and adaptable, able to operate effectively in fluid, fast-paced, and entrepreneurial settings.
Excellent communication, stakeholder management, and problem-solving abilities.

Lead cross-functional initiatives supporting underwriting, operations, and technology teams across multiple specialty business units.
