Why this role matters

Nationwide’s Commercial Lines businesses are in the middle of a multi‑year transformation – modern platforms, new products, and a heavy focus on AI, data, and digital experiences. Commercial Lines Technology needs a hands‑on business architect and planning leader who can connect strategy to action: framing the bets we make, shaping the solutions, and proving out the value we deliver.

• Build compelling business cases (problem, options, value, cost, risk) that support funding decisions and prioritization across the CLS portfolio.

• Analyze trends and portfolio signals

• Continuously scan technology, insurance, and commercial market trends (e.g., AI, cloud, digital underwriting, data & analytics) and translate them into practical opportunities for Commercial Lines.

• Make work “build‑ready”

• Partner with technology architects, delivery leaders, and product owners to move work from idea to “ready for build” – clarifying scope, dependencies, sequencing, and success metrics.

• Help streamline intake for small projects and enhancements so agile lines get the right work, at the right fidelity, at the right time.

• Drive measurable outcomes

• Define and track KPIs and value measures tied to major CLS investments (benefits, savings, experience, risk reduction).

• Provide clear, concise storytelling and reporting to senior leaders on progress, risks, and realized value.

• Influence and collaborate

• Build strong relationships with Commercial Lines leaders, underwriters, operations, architecture, data/AI, and finance partners.
