We9re looking for an Insurance Product Manager to help grow and evolve our Commercial Property and Inland Marine business.

At NEXT, insurance product managers build. You9ll stay close to both implementation and business results.

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.
  • Shape the product strategy and roadmap using customer needs, competitive intelligence, claims insights, and portfolio economics.
  • Serve as a trusted product expert and cross-functional owner, partnering with Actuarial, Engineering, Data Science, Legal&Compliance, AI Underwriting, Claims, Operations, and leadership.

  • 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.
Preferred
  • Commercial lines experience, particularly Commercial Property, Inland Marine, or Businessowners Policy (BOP)
  • Relevant property-focused personal lines experience, particularly Homeowners or Dwelling Fire
  • Experience with rate, rule, or form filings
  • Experience partnering directly with Actuary, Engineering, Design, or technical product teams
  • Small commercial, insurtech, or digital insurance experience

Strong candidates from other P&C product lines will also be considered.

Qualifications:
    • BA/BS degree required
