Deputy Chief Technology Officer | Remote

 King’s Insurance Staffing is partnering with an established Property & Casualty insurance carrier to identify a technology leader who will join as Deputy Chief Technology Officer, work alongside the current CTO, and prepare to assume the CTO position through a structured succession plan. This opportunity is especially well suited to someone whose foundation is application development, insurance core systems, and enterprise technology implementations, with the leadership skills to connect technology decisions to business results. This is a fully remote position with limited travel requirements (quarterly or semi-annually for board meetings and leadership events).

 

You’ll initially focus on applications, legacy system migrations, and modernization initiatives while working directly with business leaders to prioritize projects, improve efficiency, and make effective use of internal teams and vendor partners. Over time, your responsibilities will expand across the technology organization, including infrastructure, cybersecurity, financial management, governance, and board-level communication. With a 35+ person IT organization (and growing), including approximately 22 employees focused on applications, this role offers meaningful influence over technology direction, resource allocation, and business outcomes.
