Full Job Description
Role Summary

We're hiring a Lead Product Manager to own key areas of our AI agent portfolio - production voice and SMS agents that handle real client conversations across the insurance lifecycle for the agencies we acquire. You'll report to the Head of Product and operate as a senior, hands-on individual contributor with direct accountability for outcomes.

As an early product hire, you will carry broad ownership rather than a fixed surface area, and your focus will evolve with the roadmap. You will be responsible for taking AI agents from concept through production, adoption, and measurable revenue impact in a CMS-regulated, high-stakes domain.
Key Responsibilities
  • Set the product strategy and roadmap for your area of the agent portfolio, and evolve it as the market and our learnings shift.
  • Take conversational AI agents from concept through production launch, adoption, and measurable revenue impact.
  • Own prioritization for your area - what ships, what waits, and what we don't build.
  • Define what "good" means for every agent - call success rubrics, eval coverage, escalation behavior, zero-tolerance compliance - and drive the improvement loop with engineering.
  • Translate broker, agency operator, and client insight into the roadmap, spending real time in the field (~25% travel) and validating with fast proof-of-concepts before committing engineering time.
  • Define success metrics for every initiative and tie them to revenue per broker.
  • Align founders, engineering, design, and partner success around direction, scope, and sequencing - communicating strategy and progress clearly, from working sessions to leadership reviews.
You nay be a good fit if you
  • Have 8+ years of product management experience, including 2+ years shipping AI/ML-powered products to production - ideally in a regulated or workflow-heavy domain
  • Have a demonstrated record of owning product strategy and roadmaps end-to-end - from vision through launch and iteration.
  • Are fluent in how LLM products are built and improved - evals, prompt iteration, quality/latency/cost trade-offs - enough to earn engineers' trust.
  • Have a track record of defining metrics and designing experiments to drive product decisions, balanced with strong qualitative customer insight.
  • Use AI tools daily to prototype, test, and validate concepts.
  • Are hands-on by default - you listen to the calls, read the transcripts, and write the first draft yourself.
  • Would rather ship a scoped V1 that generates signal than a complete V3 that doesn't.
  • Have a point of view on how AI agents will change insurance distribution - and want to test it in production.
  • Communicate exceptionally and drive alignment without relying on authority.

Strong candidates may also have: experience with voice AI or telephony products; Medicare/ACA or adjacent insurance domain knowledge; early or founding PM experience.
