Responsibilities

ABOUT THE ROLE

We are hiring a VP of Product to help lead our Product Team. This is an exciting opportunity to develop and execute on our roadmap of new launches and enhancements, aimed at building a best-in-class insurance experience. Reporting to the President, this role will be critical in ensuring that Thimble becomes the one-stop-shop for all small business insurance needs.
