Lead Product Manager

Company Introduction 
Verikai is helping insurance companies to underwrite with greater precision and speed through the use of alternative data and machine learning. At Verikai, we have built a database of 250 million people with over 4,000 attributes per person focused on behavior, life events, and choices.  With this data set, we’ve been able to create incredibly unique scores which help insurers to assess risk at an individual level and help differentiate between people who might otherwise look alike.  Bridging this data gap helps insurance companies to grow and provides consumers and small businesses with greater access to critical financial products.  We are a fast-growing company with over 12 customers within insurance and financial services.  We have strong revenue traction and are looking for the right person to help build the product team for our health insurance vertical.  We recently launched a new score for the self-funded health insurance market to help employers to manage their healthcare costs. 
 

Job Description
We are looking for a product manager that is looking to advance his or her career in enterprise applications and big data.  We have an experienced and fast-moving executive team that is looking for people with strong aptitude, the curiosity, and the tenacity to keep pace and also lead us in the right direction.  The PM will lead research, ideation, design, production, testing, and deployment – all phases of the product cycle.  This person’s main responsibility is to build and maintain features and products for our first vertical, health insurance.  You will be in the frontline of creating scores and features that help insurers to leverage alternative data and A.I. in a complementary and not destructive way.   There will be opportunities to grow both professionally and personally.  Over time, we expect this person to build and manage a team.  We’d also look to this person to influence the way we scale the product organization and strategy.  For now, the emphasis is clearly on bringing new product to market, but scalability, management, maintenance and process will quickly follow.  Ultimately, we would love this person to help build a world-class team and stay with the company for many years to come.
