In this role, you'll have the autonomy to shape the future of insurance technology. You'll drive market research, strategic planning, and roadmap development for your domain, turning complex challenges into elegant solutions that serve our insurance carriers and their customers.

• Make critical decisions on product direction, resource allocation, and trade-offs to drive effective execution

• Partner seamlessly with Engineering, Design, Marketing, and Operations to ship products customers love

• Help recruit world-class product talent that raises the bar and brings diverse perspectives to the team
