Role Overview:

This is a foundational and strategic product role focused on one of our key growth drivers for 2026: the core agent experience of comparative rating and binding policies.

What You’ll Do:

Drive Quote & Bind Product Strategy

• Spearhead the end-to-end product strategy for our comparative rater and binding flows, owning the product from technical carrier integrations to the final end-user interface.

• Collaborate with almost every team in the company, with most exposure to Engineering, Design, Data, Support, and Sales.

What You Bring: 

• 7+ years of product management experience, owning and driving significant cross-organizational, user-facing projects in either B2B or B2C fields.
• Proven track record of working on cross-functional projects and the ability to create and steer a compelling product vision and strategy.
• Technical know-how, including demonstrated experience working closely with engineering, driving technical products forward, and experience working with APIs (setting specifications or as an engineer).
• Strong UX sense and demonstrated data analysis capabilities.
• High ownership mindset – comfortable navigating ambiguity and pushing initiatives forward, even when faced with (sometimes) archaic carrier technology to integrate with.
• Fluent in English (C1) and Polish (C2).
• Based in Poland with the flexibility to work partial overlap with the US time zone (typically twice a week after 5 PM CET).
• Nice to Have: SaaS and/or Fintech experience, Engineering or Quality Assurance background, SQL knowledge, and prior startup/scale-up experience.

Recruitment process:

Our goal is to be thorough while respecting your time.

• Send us your CV – it's the best way for us to get to know you.
