We hire insurance product managers at multiple levels. Level and scope will reflect your experience, prior ownership, and demonstrated ability to drive business outcomes.
What You9ll Do:- Identify and prioritize growth opportunities across customer segments, geographies, coverages, distribution, and product capabilities.
- Build, not just recommend. Lead initiatives from business case and product development through regulatory filing, design&implementation, launch, and performance monitoring. Make product changes directly where possible and partner with Engineering and Design on larger builds.
- Drive profitable growth by diagnosing portfolio performance and translating insights into pricing, segmentation, underwriting, coverage, and form changes.

- Builder: You take work from problem definition through launch and results. You9re hands-on, comfortable with implementation details, and willing to learn the systems and tools needed to get the work done.
- Business-minded: You understand how insurance product decisions affect growth, profitability, and loss performance. You use data to diagnose drivers, evaluate trade-offs, and take action.
- Skilled: You9re analytical, highly organized, and able to lead multiple complex initiatives. You communicate clearly and work effectively across insurance, technical, and business teams.
- Hungry: You want meaningful ownership and visible impact. You9re proactive, curious, collaborative, low-ego, and open to using new technology-including automation and AI-to improve how work gets done.
