Product Manager

Job Description

A global specialty P&C insurance organization is seeking a North America Underwriting Product Manager to lead the continued evolution and scaling of technology capabilities supporting commercial underwriting.

\n

\n

This individual will partner closely with underwriting and technology leaders to improve risk selection, operational efficiency, specialty-product enablement, and the overall underwriting experience. The role will take ownership of an existing underwriting product, move it into its next stage of adoption and scale, and establish a future-state roadmap incorporating data, automation, and AI.

\n

\n

This is not a generic technology-product position. The successful candidate must understand how commercial and specialty underwriting works and be able to translate that knowledge into effective platform and workflow capabilities.

Responsibilities:

\n

\n

\n
• Own the strategy and roadmap for North American underwriting technology
\n
• Scale and enhance an existing underwriting product across a significant book of business
\n
• Partner directly with underwriters to understand workflows, risk appetite, and product requirements
\n
• Translate underwriting needs into scalable product features and platform enhancements
\n
• Serve as the connection point between underwriting and core technology teams
\n
• Modernize underwriting workstation and digital-platform capabilities
\n
• Improve workflows across the submission-to-bind lifecycle
\n
• Enable specialty P&C products through technology
\n
• Prioritize enhancements based on business value, user experience, scalability, and delivery feasibility
\n
• Incorporate data-driven, automated, and AI-enabled capabilities into the future roadmap
\n
• Coordinate delivery across underwriting, engineering, architecture, data, risk, and compliance stakeholders
\n
• Lead adoption and change-management activities
\n
• Monitor user feedback, adoption, operational performance, and business outcomes
\n
• Ensure current product decisions support future lines of business and capabilities
\n

\n

Role Requirements:

\n
• Extensive experience within P&C insurance, underwriting technology, or insurance product management
\n
• Strong understanding of North American commercial underwriting
\n
• Experience supporting specialty-insurance products
\n
• Strong knowledge of underwriting risk appetite and decision-making
\n
• Direct experience with underwriting workstations, digital underwriting systems, or related platforms
\n
• Strong understanding of the complete submission-to-bind lifecycle
\n
• Product strategy, roadmap, backlog, and prioritization experience
\n
• Experience leading technology-enabled underwriting transformation
\n
• Demonstrated success scaling or materially enhancing an existing product
\n
• Ability to translate underwriting requirements into technology capabilities
\n
• Experience partnering with underwriting leaders and technology-delivery teams
\n
• Strong stakeholder-management and presentation skills
\n
• Ability to balance immediate business needs with long-term scalability
\n
• Ability to work onsite in New York or New Jersey four days per week
\n
• Willingness to travel as needed

Nice to Have:

\n
• Policy-administration platform experience
\n
