Next Insurance is a fast-growing startup based in Silicon Valley that is led by a team of experienced entrepreneurs with a history of successful outcomes. Our mission is to transform insurance for small businesses by combining world-class technology and phenomenal customer service to offer better insurance at a lower price. As the leading digital insurtech company transforming small business insurance, we just announced a $250 million new funding round, bringing the company’s valuation to $4 billion and total funding raised to more than $880 million! 

Next Insurance is looking for explorers who are filled with curiosity, have the desire to travel the unbeaten path, and realize new heights in providing small business owners with the peace of mind to run their businesses. If you move fast, and are customer-focused and willing to challenge the status quo, Next Insurance might just be your next journey.

We're looking for a talented, passionate Product Manager to join our Auto team. This is a highly visible and cross-functional position with the primary goal of delivering best-in-class products to small businesses in multiple verticals. We believe that the insurance products available on the market today do not fit the needs of small businesses and we are committed to leading the charge in rethinking small business insurance as we know it.

• Partner closely with multiple teams at Next including Compliance, Customer Operations, Technical Product, Engineering, Data Science, Analytics, Claims, and Legal
• Use the voice of the customer and product performance data to identify improvement opportunities in areas including experience simplification, pricing, and underwriting – then execute on them
• Be the ambassador of the line of business to internal stakeholders as well as external partners 

What We Need: 

• 3+ years of auto insurance experience (commercial auto preferred), consulting, investment banking and/or fintech/insurtech experience; with spikes in problem solving and collaboration
• Experience working with and presenting to senior leadership
