Product Marketing Manager - Commercial (Remote)

Small business owners don't have a risk department. They spend their time and energy starting and growing a business. NEXT's mission is to help entrepreneurs thrive, and we're using AI to make business insurance simple, fast, and affordable enough that it never costs them a day of work. We're an AI technology company that happens to also be a fully licensed insurance carrier. Because we're a full-stack carrier, AI isn't a layer bolted onto someone else's product.

We underwrite our own risk, build our own systems, and own the entire value chain, so the product decisions made here show up directly in what a customer pays and how fast they get covered. Since 2016 we've insured hundreds of thousands of small businesses across the country. As a subsidiary of Munich Re and ERGO, our growth is backed by the financial strength of one of the world's leading reinsurance and insurance groups. Business Owner's Policy is our flagship product, and this squad owns it. Today it's run by insurance product managers carrying both the insurance and the technology load.

That means AI in the GTM, AI that makes everyone in the squad work more efficiently together, and building tools that help the team build the insurance product itself. You, insurance product managers, along with the rest of the squad carry the same OKRs. That means you're accountable for knowing the insurance product well enough to make sound decisions about how to grow it, not just for shipping what's handed to you.

If you want to work on financial products with real revenue (in the $xxxM range), a complex and interesting technical surface, and massive ceiling to change how it continues to get built, this is the job. You are responsible for making sure that sizings get done, and make the long-term versus short-term trade-off explicit rather than implied. You and insurance product managers agree on the plan together; Ship a true Business Owner's Policy (BOP) product.

Take a bundled product that customers understand and buy in a single flow, and close the distance between what we sell today and what makes a great BOP product
Direct, Agent, and Partnership. Package and merchandise products. Build a great user experience. Build delightful UX that drives conversion increase and underwriting quality improvements
Run planning and executive communication.

Run product strategy planning and host monthly progress update and strategy discussion session with the executive team

Bonus if that product was complex, regulated, or financial, where the details are the hard part
~ Comfort building software that sells a complex, regulated, or financial product where the details matters
~ Ability to use AI tools to accelerate and automate your workflows without compromising quality and critical thinking
Unstoppable Qualities:
You have deep experience working directly with data, as well as working with data sciences partners
Strong design partnership instincts. You brief well and you know when the answer is a UX problem, not a feature.
