Product Operations Lead, Insurance Platform

• Find the biggest bottleneck in a function, fix it, then move to the next one. You'll be judged on how many you clear, not how many you document.

• Remove unnecessary steps before adding new ones.

• Use AI daily in your own work. You should be one of the heaviest AI users in the company.

• Lead new product launches from kickoff to the point where they run on their own, without you day to day.

• Translate product strategy into clear specifications for pricing, data, and engineering, so requirements don't get lost or reinterpreted.

• Set the build order with engineering and data, and hold that order when priorities compete.

• Build a simple way for underwriting and pricing experts to enter their own rules and judgment into our systems, so they don't need to route through you.

• Keep terminology consistent across every system, model, and team, and update it as the business grows.

• Set up fast, accurate feedback from policies, claims, and lost deals, so we know quickly what's working and what needs to change.

• Create and run one clear process for any change to what we sell (coverage, rules, pricing), so changes don't happen ad hoc.

• Catch problems in testing before they reach a customer.

• Move existing programs onto shared infrastructure instead of maintaining separate one off setups.

• 7+ years solving complex problems through process and product development, or a clear track record of taking on more scope and responsibility over time.

• A systems thinker who obsesses over problems and builds solutions that scale, rather than one off fixes.

• Exceptional project management and documentation skills, with the ability to run multiple workstreams at once without dropping detail.

• A self starter mindset: comfortable rolling up your sleeves in a lean, fast moving environment.

• Real, daily comfort working with AI agents (delegating to them, checking their work, improving them). You automate a task the second time you do it, not the tenth.

• Evidence of grit: something you've pushed through more than once, even when it would have been easier to stop.

• Insurance background is a plus, not a requirement. If you have exposure to policy forms, rate and rule filings, or systems like SERFF, that's a bonus, not a prerequisite.

• it is the cornerstone of autonomy. Ensure you are aware of what is expected of you and clearly articulate what you expect of others.

•

• the only failure is not learning from mistakes. Don’t cheat yourself and your colleagues of the feedback needed when expectations aren’t being met.

•

• control your own destiny. Embrace action over perfection while navigating any obstacles that stand in the way of your ultimate goal.

•

• create routines but modify them routinely.Take the time to reflect on where the business is today, where it needs to go, and what you have to change in order to get there.

•

• some things should never be sacrificed. We create an environment that stretches everyone to grow and improve, which is fulfilling, but is only one part of a meaningful life.
