Description

This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Product Development Director – Auto Modernization based in the United States. This role sits at the heart of a large-scale transformation effort focused on redefining how auto insurance products are designed, built, and brought to market. You will lead end-to-end product development within a modernized technology ecosystem, driving innovation across pricing, underwriting, and member-facing experiences. The position requires strong cross-functional leadership across product, technology, compliance, and operations teams to ensure seamless execution from strategy to launch. You will play a key role in shaping next-generation, digital-first insurance products that improve both customer outcomes and business performance. This is a highly strategic and execution-focused leadership role where product vision meets technical delivery. Your work will directly influence how new products are introduced, optimized, and scaled in a highly regulated environment. \n Accountabilities: Lead the design, development, and launch of new auto insurance products and enhanced features across digital-first platforms, ensuring alignment with member needs and business strategy. Oversee product lifecycle management, including post-launch monitoring, performance analysis, and ongoing optimization of rates, rules, and coverage offerings. Partner with underwriting, pricing, data, and technology teams to translate business strategy into scalable product configurations and system implementations. Evaluate market trends, competitive intelligence, and internal performance data to inform product strategy and identify opportunities for innovation. Drive cross-functional alignment across compliance, legal, risk, and operations teams to ensure all product initiatives meet regulatory and governance standards. Develop and communicate clear product value propositions and ensure effective rollout across all distribution and customer channels. Lead analysis of product performance metrics and guide decision-making for enhancements, adjustments, or broader market expansion. Requirements: Bachelor’s degree in Business, Marketing, Statistics, or related field, or equivalent experience. 8+ years of experience in product development, underwriting, actuarial work, financial services, or related insurance/military environments. Strong experience in end-to-end product lifecycle management, including development, launch, and ongoing optimization. Deep understanding of insurance product frameworks, including pricing, rating, underwriting, and policy administration. Experience working within Agile environments and managing multiple complex initiatives simultaneously. Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to translate data insights into product decisions. Ability to operate effectively in ambiguous, fast-moving environments and break down complex initiatives into deliverable components. Strong stakeholder management skills with proven ability to influence across cross-functional and matrixed organizations. Nice to have: experience with insurance platforms such as Guidewire and exposure to large-scale transformation programs in regulated industries. Benefits: Competitive salary range of $131,240 – $250,850 annually, based on experience and location. Performance-based incentives depending on individual and company results. Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance coverage. 401(k) retirement plan and pension benefits for long-term financial security. Paid time off, holidays, and additional volunteer time off. Parental benefits, adoption assistance, and family support programs. Wellness programs supporting physical, financial, and emotional well-being. Ongoing career development support and continuing education opportunities. \n How Jobgether works: We use an AI-powered matching process to ensure your application is reviewed quickly, objectively, and fairly against the role's core requirements.
