At ProSight, digital innovation is key to our continued success and growth. The Digital team is a core component of our strategy to deliver a differentiated experience to customers and partners. The Digital team is responsible for developing online and mobile solutions for our customers, agents and employees through engaging interfaces enabled by cutting-edge technologies. We believe that the best solutions occur when the right mix of disciplines and skills are brought together on an integrated team that is open to ideas, is not afraid to push the envelope, and is ready to challenge the status quo of the Insurance industry. We are looking to build the core competencies of our team with people who are energetic, entrepreneurial, and driven by a desire to make a significant impact.
The Product Manager role will manage the product road map (and its dependencies), as well as the execution. The ideal candidate has the right balance of experience working in a highly technical team, leading multiple initiatives in the digital space as a servant leader, and providing guidance and leadership to the team from a product and execution standpoint. The Product Manager will be the key to clearing roadblocks, collaborating across multiple teams within and outside of Digital, and anticipating needs of the product, user, and team. You are someone who can see patterns in seemingly unrelated events, and can skillfully navigate the ever evolving organization.
