• Support the development of partner-facing materials

Requirements

• 7+ years of experience as a Digital Product Manager, with significant time spent on API, platform, or developer-facing products
• Insurance, fintech, wealth-tech, or similarly regulated enterprise domain experience; annuity or life insurance experience strongly preferred

• Demonstrated ability to take a vague market opportunity and turn it into a concrete, successful product
• Experience with platform-style software where partners build differentiated experiences on top of your foundation
• Aptitude and willingness to deeply understand the annuity industry, the distribution ecosystem, and the regulatory environment

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills; comfort representing the company externally

Qualifications

• Prior involvement with industry standards bodies (IRI, ACORD, NAIC, LIMRA)
• Experience with annuity or life lifecycle systems — illustration, e-application, suitability, PAS, post-issue servicing
• Familiarity with how carriers and distribution platforms integrate today, and where those patterns are heading
• Experience with event-driven architecture, webhooks, OpenAPI/Swagger specs, and developer experience design
• Exposure to emerging integration patterns and how enterprise systems will be consumed by the next generation of tools
