You’ll oversee vendor performance, service levels, risk, and issue resolution while coordinating disaster recovery activities across business, Technology, Risk, Compliance, EISO, and external partners.

You’ll also bring enough technical fluency to effectively partner with technology teams and vendors supporting enterprise mainframe environments, helping ensure services, upgrades, and technology changes meet Pacific Life’s business and operational needs.

How you’ll help move us forward

  • Own the governance and performance of assigned technology vendor relationships, including SLAs, KPIs, service reviews, risks, and issue resolution.
  • Hold vendors accountable for contractual commitments, Statements of Work (SOWs), service expectations, and technology requirements.
  • Serve as a primary point of contact for vendor-related issues, driving escalation and resolution across internal and external partners.
  • Coordinate disaster recovery planning, exercises, readiness, and remediation activities for Annuities Administration.
  • Partner with Risk, Compliance, EISO, and Technology teams to identify, escalate, and remediate operational and third-party risks.
  • Work with vendors and Pacific Life Technology teams to address complex service issues and coordinate technology changes, upgrades, and product versioning.
  • Monitor vendor costs and identify opportunities to improve value, performance, efficiency, and service delivery.
  • Use vendor performance data, trends, and risk insights to recommend improvements and strengthen operational resilience.

The experience you bring

  • Bachelor’s degree or equivalent combination of education and relevant professional experience
  • 10+ years of relevant professional experience, including experience in technology vendor management, service delivery, operational risk, disaster recovery, or related disciplines.
  • Demonstrated experience managing technology vendors, service providers, or complex third-party relationships, preferably within financial services, insurance, or another regulated environment.
  • Experience managing vendor performance through SLAs, KPIs, SOWs, service reviews, issue remediation, and corrective actions.
  • Experience supporting or coordinating disaster recovery, business continuity, operational resilience, technology risk, or third-party risk activities.
  • Working knowledge of enterprise technology environments, with the ability to effectively partner with technical teams and vendors on system issues, upgrades, and changes.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to identify risks, evaluate performance, and drive complex issues through resolution.
  • Strong communication and relationship-management skills, with the ability to influence stakeholders, hold vendors accountable, and build productive partnerships.
  • Proven ability to manage multiple priorities, deadlines, risks, and commitments in a complex environment.

Preferred qualifications

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
