Senior Product Manager - Insurance & Ancillary
The Opportunity
Every year, millions of people come to TrueCar to save time and money buying a car. All of them need insurance, and the way they have to buy it is broken: long duplicate forms, underwriting delays, sales calls they did not ask for, and handoffs to third parties who start the whole thing over again. TrueCar is building embedded insurance to fix that.
As a Senior Product Manager, you will build and own the digital product end-to-end, including the flows that let a customer receive an instant quote, bind a policy, manage coverage, and add vehicle protection without ever leaving TrueCar’s platform. We already have the distribution, the brand, and the partners. What we need is a Senior Product Manager who can turn that into a digital experience our customers will love.
This is a zero-to-one build opportunity, with our Engineering and Design teams alongside you. You will report to the VP, Insurance & Ancillary.
This is a hybrid role that requires frequent in-person collaboration in our Santa Monica, CA headquarters office.
Your TrueCar Experience
- Flexible work schedule combining remote and in-office workdays.
- Comfortable shared workspaces in our Santa Monica headquarters office and other regional locations.
- Professional home office setup provided, along with monthly reimbursements for essential items like phone and internet.
- Excellent benefits and perks including 100% employer-paid health, vision, and dental premiums; a 401(k) plan with company contributions; a wellness reimbursement account; and learning & development reimbursement opportunities.
- Flexible PTO for exempt TrueCar Crew Members and a generous PTO accrual policy for non-exempt TrueCar Crew Members, in addition to 14 company-paid holidays and 2 floating holidays.
Your Expertise
- Proven product management experience or equivalent experience building and shipping digital products people love to use.
- A first-principles product mindset: taking long and complex multi-step processes apart and rebuilding them in simple consumer digital experiences, rather than accepting how the industry does it today.
- Technical & API Integration fluency: reading API docs, specifying integration contracts and data schemas, and holding your own with engineers on how the backend should behave.
- Experience shipping AI and automation into real products: LLMs, document and data extraction, or self-service automation flows that removed operational friction.
- Data-backed thinker who ships: writing precise specs, prioritizing a technical backlog, and digging into the analytics yourself, backing assumptions and recommendations with hard numbers rather than instinct.
- Logic-first product thinking: instantly identifying the underlying functional requirements and user experience flows when looking at a visual prototype.
