Insurance State Product Manager

Branch insurance brings high quality home and car insurance to its members, delightfully, instantly and efficiently. Branch is on a mission to reduce the cost of insurance, enabling more to be insured doing so through distribution, product, and business model innovation using the power of community! Branch was founded on a simple belief: insurance has lost its way.

What was supposed to be a simple way for neighbors to band together to protect each other from financial disaster has turned into a battle of mega-corps, imposing high costs, complicated policies, and pain-in-the-neck claims processes.

We’re not here to reimagine insurance. We’re here to restore insurance back to its original intent—a force for communal good.

As we like to say around here: we’re getting back to getting each other’s back.

 About the Insurance State Product Manager

We are building our product development team. That means, we’re looking for an enthusiastic, get-it-done, team-driven Insurance State Product Manager to help us grow and grow with us.

  • Has interest in owning the product, pricing and underwriting development and maintenance for personal lines auto and homeowners insurance
  • Has in-depth knowledge of product and pricing development and state regulatory environment
  • Has strong project management/juggling skills
  • Enjoys managing projects and people through empathy and influence

 The role will be primarily focused on the development of pricing, product and underwriting for multiple states and lines of business.  But since Branch is a startup, the person who ultimately fills this role will wear many hats and will need to roll up their sleeves and be able to be strategic while performing hands-on tasks at the same time. Ultimately, this is an opportunity to play a huge role in the booming Insurtech industry, helping grow a business from day one.

 What you will do:

  • Lead Product Management for multiple states and multiline lines of personal lines insurance 
  • Set direction, and execute on the direction in developing pricing and product filings in the states and lines of business
  • Take ownership for managing the top and bottom line results in these states
  • Resident expert on the product lines 

 Secondary Responsibilities

  • Work to determine priorities and work closely with developers and designers to determine feasibility and best ways to implement desired features, efficiently and in alignment with business objectives
  • Track and analyze key business metrics
  • Keep abreast of the best practices in product management

 About you:

  • You have 5+ years of Personal Lines Product Management experience
  • Ideally you are familiar with the pricing techniques and regulatory requirements for personal lines
  • You are able to pull data as well as analyze the data
  • You function well in ambiguity and don’t need to be told what to do all the time
  • You have excellent written and oral communication skills

 You will also be eligible for Branch’s growing benefits program which currently includes: 

  •  Health insurance, a plan fully paid for by Branch on behalf of its employees, 
  •  A $150/mo contribution to a Health Savings Account (HSA), administered by Branch, 
  •  A $100/mo commuter and parking expense reimbursement, 
  • Managing your own time off (no paid time off program, allocation or fixed days off), and 
  • Immediate participation in Branch’s 401K with profit sharing potential.

Company

Branch was founded in 2017 behind a simple idea: insurance has lost its way.

If you went back to the 1800s, when home insurance first began to spread throughout the U.S., you’d see that insurance was a truly communal product. Farmers in communities all across the country put money aside to take care of one-another should disaster strike. It was neighbor helping neighbor.

Fast forward to today. That spirit is gone. Moreover, what was intended to be a communal product has become difficult and soulless. We started to ask ourselves:

Why’s it so hard just to bundle your home insurance with your auto insurance?

Why do costs go up for the most loyal customers?

Why do such a big chunk of premium dollars go to fund massive marketing campaigns?

None of that makes sense.

And if we could leverage the dual powers of technology and community, we could fix it.
