Senior Product Manager, Emerging Products (0-1)

Description

The company is a profitable Series C startup backed by Y Combinator, with 5M+ customers and $240M in funding. It is building an AI-powered advisor for managing all of a customer's physical assets.

The company began with car insurance in 2019 and is now adding new asset types. Its core car insurance marketplace has grown profitably for two years, and the company is ready to widen its product range and speed up customer growth.

The team is hiring 2-3 product managers, each driving one of several new product bets. Current bets include motorcycle insurance and home insurance (both just launched), boat and RV insurance (at concept stage), and non-insurance tools such as helping customers lower their property taxes (launching soon).

Each area has its own operations, customer types, pain points, and route to scale. Your assignment will depend on your past experience, your interests, and business priorities when you join.

The work is new territory with no established playbook. Property tax rules differ by county, and specialty vehicle insurance is more regulated and complex than standard auto. The problems are messy, not neatly scoped.

You will have real ownership, and your work could meaningfully shape the company's direction over the next few years.

Responsibilities

• Ramp up quickly on a new domain.
• Use quantitative data from the Data Science team and qualitative data from the Customer Insights & Research team to find the highest-leverage areas to prioritize.
• Build and ship new products, collect fast customer feedback, then learn, iterate, and build on what works.
• Be a key contributor to the product roadmap and own execution from early concept or early launch through product-market fit and scale.

Requirements

• A first-principles thinker who uses data to form clear hypotheses, and who asks what problem needs solving before deciding what to build.
• An owner who takes responsibility for anything broken, including work outside your own area.
• Empathetic and curious, with a real interest in what drives how people think, feel, and act.
• Diligent, with follow-through strong enough that nothing gets dropped once you own it.
• At least 5 years in management consulting (MBB or equivalent), consumer product management, or an equivalent role at a high-growth startup.
• Consumer product instincts, gained either from building products yourself or from working closely with consumer product teams.
• Comfortable with data: able to run your own analysis and reach confident conclusions from messy signals.
