Platform Product Manager

At Shift Technology, we’re transforming insurance with AI. We help insurers fully automate more claims, deliver a great customer experience while protecting against risk and accurately identifying suspected fraud, making internal teams more effective and improving financial performance.

Since our launch in 2014 in Paris, we've raised over $320M with Tier 1 investors, opened offices in Boston, Tokyo, Singapore, London, Madrid, Mexico, Hong-Kong, and Sao Paulo, and currently work with more than 80 of the world’s leading insurers. If you are excited about joining a fast-growing insurtech innovator with a passion for excellence and global culture, Shift is the place for you.

Your role

Shift is building a product suite for insurance. We are enabling the insurance industry to radically improve the customer experience by transforming their operations - underwriting, claims handling, and compliance.

We need product managers to define, build and grow our platform and products that solve real problems for insurers in these areas. Great products led by great product managers can make an order of magnitude of difference in the success and scalability of Shift and our impact on insurance.

Your responsibilities

Shift has strong development and R&D teams building SaaS solutions supported by applied machine learning and big data analysis. Your role will be to provide a product vision, distilled from insights into our users and market, and work with other teams to build towards it. You'll play a key role in a culture of rapid delivery and iteration based on testing, measurement and feedback.

In particular, we need a strong technical Product Manager to drive the evolution of Shift’s technical platform. We’re looking for someone who knows how to build reliable, scalable systems in the Cloud and can work closely with our Engineering and Data Science teams to construct and deliver on an ambitious technical vision. As always, you’ll be responsible for keeping the plane in the air as well as replacing the engines.

We have an experienced Product team, so we're looking to hire people with some product management experience who are ready for their next big challenge.
