Full Job Description
Senior Product Manager: Applied AI

Introduction

Our Product Team is expanding, and we are seeking an experienced, hands-on Senior Product Manager to join our Applied AI pod. In this individual contributor role, your mission is to identify core user problems, design smart AI-driven solutions, and partner daily with engineering and design to build, test, and ship features that directly impact user experience and key business metrics.

This role sits at a unique intersection: you will own a dedicated roadmap for zero-to-one AI features while also collaborating with consumer-facing PMs across other verticals (such as our primary conversion funnel) to embed applied AI capabilities into their flows. Operating on a fast-moving pod, you will utilize rapid prototyping and modern AI-assisted development workflows to turn concepts into production-ready features at high velocity.

Reporting directly to the Director of Product, Applied AI, you will help lead the discipline of AI-driven product strategy across the organization.

Location

Our employees can choose to work remotely in the U.S. Join us in our Austin, Texas office, or opt for a hybrid setup. Whether you prefer the structure of an office, the convenience of remote work, or a mix of both, we support what works best for you.

Please note: At this time we are not able to hire in California, New Jersey, Massachusetts, and New York.

What You'll Do
  • Own & Execute the AI Roadmap: Define, prioritize, and deliver product strategies and user-facing features that natively leverage AI to simplify insurance shopping.
  • Rapid Prototyping & Experimentation: Lead end-to-end execution through fast feedback loops, running live user tests, interactive prototypes, and hypothesis-driven A/B experiments to evaluate feasibility and impact.
  • Work Daily with AI-Assisted Workflows: Partner closely with engineering teams using AI-assisted coding and development tools to dramatically accelerate release cycles from idea to implementation.
  • Deliver Embedded & Standalone Impact: Drive standalone AI initiatives while partnering across cross-functional product pods to deploy personalized AI engines, dynamic discovery tools, or conversational interfaces across core consumer touchpoints.
  • Measure Outcomes rigorously: Define primary and secondary success metrics for every release, evaluating outcomes through quantitative data analytics and qualitative discovery.
  • Maintain 360-Degree Alignment: Communicate plans, progress, technical trade-offs, and post-launch learnings clearly to cross-functional partners and executive stakeholders.

What We're Looking For
  • 5+ years of experience in consumer-facing product management, with a track record of driving measurable business outcomes.
  • Direct hands-on experience building, testing, and shipping consumer features powered by modern AI, machine learning models, or personalized automation.
  • Proven experience operating in fast-paced, iterative environments with a high bias for action and rapid experimentation.
  • Comfort incorporating modern AI tools directly into your daily PM workflow ( discovery, spec writing, wireframing, data analysis).
  • Strong quantitative, analytical, and problem-solving skills, with deep experience setting up feature tracking and reading experiment results.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with an ability to simplify complex technical trade-offs for cross-functional partners.

Experience That Will Impress the Heck Out of Us
  • Experience working on zero-to-one product initiatives, innovation labs, or incubator pods.
  • Practical familiarity with modern developer AI tools, LLM architectures, prompt engineering/orchestration, or modern AI agents.
  • Background in high-growth, transactional consumer platforms (fintech, insuretech, or complex marketplace environments).

Shared Benefits & Perks
  • Inclusive and healthy environments are crafted intentionally. All of our employees can join and participate in (or create your own) Employee Resource Groups.
  • Competitive Compensation & Stock Option Offering
  • Health, Dental, Vision & Disability Coverages
  • End early Fridays (wrap up work at 2pm CST on Fridays)
  • Sabbatical program for tenured employees
  • HSA offering plus employer contribution
  • Fertility support through Carrot
  • $100 monthly wellness perk
  • $300 pet reimbursement program
  • 401k with match
  • Unlimited PTO plus flexibility to enjoy it
  • Paid Parental Leave Program
  • Learning and Development Opportunities
