Insurance and financial products for U.S. educators and their families
Horace Mann is a public insurance company built around educator-focused products—auto, home, life, and retirement annuities. The hiring profile is heavily sales-driven (689 sales roles vs. 10 engineering), with most posts targeting mid- and junior-level positions, reflecting a field-agent acquisition and retention focus rather than product innovation. Active projects signal expansion into student loan solutions and financial wellness, while the tech stack (Guidewire, Azure integration, MuleSoft, legacy TIBCO replacement) indicates ongoing modernization of underwriting and policy administration systems.
Horace Mann serves educators, school administrators, and families in the United States through a network of professional agents. Founded in 1945, the company offers auto, homeowners, renters, life insurance, and retirement annuities tailored to the education community. The product range extends to supplemental insurance and financial wellness programs. Operations span classroom funding initiatives and recognition programs supporting teachers. The company is headquartered in Springfield, Illinois, and currently operates across the United States and Brazil.
