IIAW is building an AI practice that will improve how our organization works and help independent insurance agencies and Big ‘I’ state associations use artificial intelligence in practical, measurable ways. As our AI Solutions Specialist, you will build AI agents, assistants, automations, and workflow solutions for IIAW and its members while developing valuable experience at the intersection of technology, insurance, and consulting.

This position is designed for a recent college graduate or an early-career professional with up to two years of relevant experience. We are not looking for someone who already knows everything about insurance or has spent a decade in technology. We are looking for a curious builder who learns quickly, enjoys experimenting, can turn ideas into working solutions, and wants to grow with an emerging practice.

• Test and improve. Evaluate output quality, accuracy, reliability, usability, security, and business impact; troubleshoot problems and refine solutions based on feedback.
• Build reusable resources. Create templates, prompts, knowledge bases, agent components, documentation, training materials, and implementation playbooks that can scale across users and organizations.
