Innovation & Analytics Manager

Our Company

At AssuranceAmerica, we are more than a unique blend of insurance assets. We believe in creating a culture where every associate can learn and grow. We strive to create a work environment to meet associate needs and we are determined to achieve excellence in everything we do.

This is an opportunity to join a dynamic team in a company that is a leader in the non-standard auto insurance space and functions with a small company, entrepreneurial style. This position will require someone with an understanding that one needs to have a “roll up your sleeves” attitude to help make things happen.

This role is responsible for building scalable reporting frameworks, workforce forecasting models, and AI-enabled operational solutions that improve efficiency, customer retention, and service delivery. The position serves as a critical liaison between CX, IT, Product, Claims, and enterprise AI functions, translating customer interaction insights into actionable business and technology improvements.

Responsibilities

Enterprise Reporting & Analytics

• Build and maintain CX dashboards and KPI reporting that gives leadership real-time visibility into performance across all teams and hubs
• Own call volume forecasting and staffing models covering GA, FL, TX Key-State teams and multi-state catch-all teams — in close partnership with the WFM Lead
• Develop analytical models that identify at-risk customers and surface insights that help Service & Revenue teams act proactively on retention
• Establish the analytics feedback loop from CX into Product, Underwriting, and Claims — turning call data into actionable business intelligence

AI & Automation

• Identify and prioritize AI and automation opportunities that reduce handle time, eliminate repetitive tasks, and improve agent capacity for advisory and retention work
• Lead CX-specific automation projects
• Support evaluation and implementation of AI-assisted tools such as agent assist, automated QA scoring, and intelligent routing

Digital Containment

• Own the digital containment roadmap — self-service, IVR, chat, and app-based interactions that eliminate routine inbound calls without degrading customer experience
• Design and track containment strategies for payments, ID card requests, policy status checks, and other transactional interactions

Cross-functional Integration

• Serve as the CX voice in IT, Claims and Product roadmap conversations — ensuring technology investments reflect what agents and customers actually need
• Build and maintain the intelligence loop from CX into Product, IT, and Claims — translating call patterns into system improvement requests and product feedback

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

Required

• 5+ years in analytics, operations technology, or digital transformation — ideally in a contact center, insurance, or financial services environment
• Hands-on experience with contact center platforms, workforce management tools, or CRM/telephony systems (Five9, Genesys, Salesforce, NICE, or similar)
• Demonstrated ability to translate data into operational decisions — not just building dashboards, but driving action from the insights they surface
• Experience leading or contributing to automation or process improvement initiatives with measurable efficiency outcomes
• Collaborative by nature — comfortable working across IT, Product, and business leadership to align on priorities and move projects forward.

Preferred

• Experience with AI/ML applications in a customer service context — agent assist, automated QA, predictive churn modeling, or intelligent routing
• Background in insurance operations or regulated financial services — familiarity with the compliance constraints that shape what automation is permissible
• Exposure to digital self-service design — IVR, chat, mobile app, or web portal containment strategies — with measurable deflection outcomes
• Prior experience building or contributing to an analytics function in a growing or transforming organization
• Experience working alongside shared services or enterprise AI/Innovation functions under an SLA model.
