Kin Insurance is on a mission to change home insurance from what it could be to what it should be. We’re proud to offer affordable insurance coverage in areas most impacted by climate change, like Florida, California and Louisiana, that pay more for insurance than anywhere else in America.

We are also proud to be recognized as Built In’s 2021 Best Midsize Companies to Work For in Chicago and Forbes 2021 Best Startup Employers in America. We are growing super fast, and we need forward-thinking, inspired game-changers like you to help lead the way.

So, what’s the role? 

Kin’s Product team is the fulcrum that takes our vision of what home insurance should be and makes it real. Our product managers are responsible for the commercial success of the product. They straddle technology and all other business areas to ensure the right work is getting done. 

We are currently looking for a Product Manager to join our state and product expansion team. This person will immerse themselves in the insurance product development process, from state prioritization to scaling the product successfully. Collaborating with leaders across the organization, product management peers, and operations will be imperative in ensuring a smooth product launch. This person will also own new tools to make launching more efficient, from ideation to implementation into the process. 

We have big plans for state and product expansion in the years to come and this person would be vital in making Kin successful countrywide. 

A day in the life could include: 

• Creating and managing product roadmaps of epics that address the biggest business needs
• Gathering user research and inputs across business functions
• Outlining problems and proposed solutions, supported with data
• Writing user stories that provide all of the details needed by our development teams to develop critical features
• Collaborating with design to create functional prototypes for user testing and mockups for developers
• Planning ahead to ensure team has appropriate amount of work ready and delivery timelines are known to stakeholders
• Coordinating and leading regular team and stakeholder meetings
• Defining metrics that demonstrate product success, while monitoring and responding to outcomes

• A passion for customer feedback and research
• An eye for great products and willingness to advocate for new features with qualitative and quantitative reasoning
