Senior Manager, Insurance Product FilingsOpen to: Remote, USA
Getting an AI-driven risk model into the market means getting it approved across 51 jurisdictions. As Senior Manager, Insurance Product Filings, you will own that work end to end: preparing and submitting multistate filings, writing the model documentation regulators expect from an AI-driven modeling company, resolving objections and interrogatories, and maintaining the licenses and reporting obligations that come with operating as a rating and advisory organization. You will also partner directly with carrier clients, supporting them through their own filings and translating state requirements into practical guidance.
The target start date is Q1 2027. The role is posted at the Senior Manager level; final title and level will be determined by the experience of the selected candidate.
