About the Role
Your objective will be to create an experience that makes Kinetic the go-to choice for mid-market and larger accounts when buying a Workers’ Comp insurance policy. This role will lead our product strategy and vision, and you will collaborate with the entire team at Kinetic on Vision, Strategy, and OKRs.
You will start by immediately managing a team of three Product Managers and a Lead Product Designer, but this team may expand depending on the needs of the business. Your primary focus will be the responsibility of fusing our software product with more traditional insurance services such as claims oversight, handling, and loss control. You will continue to build on the foundation of our Claims Navigator product for both internal and external users. This will be a mix of software and process development as you build out the product. You will work incredibly closely with our VP of Engineering, and our engineering teams to build out a reliable, scalable product for our users.
Additionally, you will own where this product goes in the future for greater and greater impact on the Workers’ Comp experience. We expect you to be closely connected with all of our stakeholders and drive product strategy with industry and customer data. While we tend to focus on claims management at this time, we know there are several other pain points inside the Workers’ Comp ecosystem that are worth exploring in the future.
