On growth: we have the privilege to offer our products to tens of millions of Americans that are proud members of AAA
On making a difference: we serve Americans by delivering life insurance products that make a true difference for families during their hardest times, not wealth management instruments (more details on this during the interview)
On culture: USA Today named us 2025 top workplace nationwide. We believe the job of an insurance company is to do good. Our mission is to help our members during what is often the hardest times in their lives. We pick up the phone to people who have lost loved ones and offer our genuine support. That is why we will always put human connection at the heart of what we do - always being there to talk to our members person to person. We believe the job of an insurance company is to pay out. That is what insurance is for. Most of our members have real life policies - policies that bring peace of mind during life, and genuine support in the event of death.

AAA has been one of the most trusted names in America because it believes in providing the services that middle class Americans need.
The Role You will join the Automation and AI team as a critical partner in turning business problems into clear, actionable solutions. This role sits at the intersection of operations, data, technology, and change. You will work closely with business partners, product owners, technical teams, vendors, and project leaders to understand how work happens today, define what needs to change, and help deliver solutions that improve how AAA Life serves members.
This is not a role for someone who only wants to take notes or document what they are told. You will be expected to ask hard questions, challenge unclear assumptions, and help prove whether problems and solutions are real through data, process analysis, and direct business partnership. The work will often be ambiguous, the data may be imperfect, and the path forward may not be obvious. The right person will be energized by that.
You will gather and translate requirements, create story cards and acceptance criteria, support story mapping, document future-state processes, and help ensure solutions are ready for successful adoption. You will also play an important role in building visibility into whether our work is improving the business. That means creating Power BI reports and other analysis to track improvements, prove value, identify operational gaps, and, at times, provide a practical stopgap solution when the long-term process or technology is not ready yet.
Success in this role requires strong business analysis discipline, analytical curiosity, and comfort working with both business and technical teams. You do not need to be the architect, developer, or automation engineer, but you must understand enough about systems, data, process flows, and automation to help shape practical solutions. If you need perfectly defined requirements, clean handoffs, or a highly structured environment before you can make progress, this role will be challenging.
For the right person, this is an opportunity to help refactor how work gets done at AAA Life. You will help create the requirements, reporting, process understanding, and business readiness needed to scale automation and AI in ways that reduce time to serve, improve quality, and create a better member experience.
The Next Phase Our mission is to provide those services for as many people as we can. To achieve that we need to evolve. We need to boldly embrace innovation and technology. Your leadership will help us deliver on our mission together and achieve our transformation. At AAA Life, empathy and progress go hand in hand, creating a culture where bright ideas flourish and meaningful impact grows. If you are drawn to an environment that values purpose as much as potential, we invite you to join us. Because here, being there for people isn’t just a promise—it is our driving force.
