As a Principal Technical Product Manager for the EverQuote Auction Platform, you play a critical role in the connection of insurance shoppers and insurance providers through efficient matching algorithms and systems. You drive transformative growth for EverQuote via seamless technology solutions that sit at the heart of our organization’s core mission and largest revenue priority opportunities.
Technical Product Managers at EverQuote are curious self-starters with a passion for delivering business outcomes through technology. You have a specialization in more technical products and customers, but you never lose sight of solving your customers problems and needs in a way that aligns with the objectives of your organization.
As the product lead of the Auction platform, you will envision, design, deliver, plan, and drive technical product innovations to enable critical business operations. You own the roadmap, adoption, operation, business value, and life cycle of auction platforms at EverQuote. You own relationships with the users of your technology, both technical and non-technical, and you partner with stakeholders to define and execute a strategy that drives value-multiplied outcomes for our business. You are data-driven in your thinking and lead discussions with data. You build partnerships -- up, down, and across -- with other Product Managers, Engineers, Architects, Analysts, and Business stakeholders. You define metrics to measure progress and value of output and regularly provide direct visibility to senior leadership on all aspects of your product(s).
You are comfortable with ambiguity and possess an ownership mentality to drive structure for delivery of output and outcomes for the business. You are analytical and possess excellent problem-solving skills. You communicate proactively with clarity, both orally and in writing, and excel in stakeholder relationship management. You have a strong background in Product Management, with experience in software agile development cycles and in managing and delivering large cross-functional programs. You have passion, a team mentality in an evolving environment, and are able to respond to escalations with data and technical analysis.
This is a hybrid role that requires being in office several days a week.
