Principal Product Manager, Journey & Orchestration

About the job

You will work on GEICO's customer engagement platform for creating and activating customer communications and marketing campaigns. We are evolving from messaging execution into a modern orchestration platform, with growing emphasis on self serve usability, multi channel orchestration, AI engagement, agentic workflows, and enterprise grade reliability.

This Principal Product Manager role owns journey and orchestration, how customer engagement is designed, sequenced, and activated over time. You will shape the journey builder, lifecycle logic, and cross channel orchestration experiences that connect audience, content, and delivery into cohesive engagement flows.

You will drive automation and simplification across orchestration workflows, advance simulation and validation experiences, and help define the platform's agentic future, including goal based, AI assisted orchestration that helps teams choose the right path, timing, and channel mix. You will partner with product managers across customer data, content, and delivery to ensure orchestration works end to end.

This role is ideal if you enjoy complex workflow products with users, designers, and engineers, while building alignment with senior stakeholders. If you want to shape how GEICO orchestrates customer engagement today and its agentic future, we are looking for you.

This is a hybrid position, requiring on-site presence 2-3 days a week at one of the following locations: Palo Alto, CA; Seattle, WA; Bethesda, MD.
