Introduction:

Our Product Team is expanding, & we're seeking a Senior Technical Product Manager to help support The Zebra's growing needs.

As a Senior Technical Product Manager your mission is to transform cutting-edge models into seamless customer experiences. You will lead the charge on the full model lifecycle, from creative feature engineering to rigorous production monitoring and drift management. This isn't a role for academic theory; it's for a hands-on leader who thrives on the technical challenge of keeping AI performing at its peak in a live environment.

Reporting directly to the Director of Product, you will work closely with the Chief AI Officer, the data science team and engineering to achieve company and AI Village goals.

Location:

Our company headquarters are in Austin, TX, but our employees work remotely across the US. For folks who live around Austin, we offer the option to join us in our office or opt for 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 or Massachusetts.

What You'll Do:

• Define and own the product vision, strategy, and roadmap for data science and machine learning initiatives
• Translate business problems into well-scoped data science use cases and product requirements
• Partner closely with data scientists, data engineers, and ML engineers to deliver models and data products end to end
• Prioritize features, experiments, and model improvements based on impact, feasibility, and risk
• Lead discovery efforts to identify opportunities where data science can create meaningful business value
• Ensure models are production-ready, monitored, and continuously improved post-launch
• Collaborate with engineering and platform teams on data infrastructure, tooling, and scalability

• Communicate clearly with stakeholders on trade-offs, timelines, model performance, and outcomes
• Define success metrics and evaluate product performance using quantitative and qualitative insights
• Ensure responsible use of data, including privacy, fairness, and ethical considerations

What We're Looking For:

As we evaluate candidates across all roles, we look for folks with a strong sense of ownership, excellent communication and collaboration skills, and a dedication to continuous improvement.

• 3+ years experience in a consumer-facing product management or equivalent role
• Experience working closely with engineers and designers in agile or scrum environments.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and organizational skills.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to translate complex ideas for different audiences.
• Customer-first mindset with a passion for creating intuitive, impactful products.
• Proficiency in product tools like Jira, Confluence, Figma, and data tools like Looker, Amplitude, or similar.

Experience that will Impress the Heck Out of Us:

• Experience in insurance/insurtech is a plus; experience operating in a regulated industry (e.g., financial services, healthcare) is also strongly preferred.

Benefits & Perks:

Inclusive and healthy environments are crafted intentionally. Here are some other wonderful perks of working here:

• Competitive Compensation & Stock Option Offering
• Health, Dental, Vision & Disability Coverages
• Sabbatical program for tenured employees
• HSA offering + employer contribution
