About You: An analytical, commercially-oriented product director or general manager with at least seven (7) plus years working in a high production SaaS environment. You’re a leader who loves interacting with both internal and external stakeholders to drive both commercial and innovation success, and you’re looking for a role where you can be highly impactful on business outcomes from day one. Ambiguity isn’t a challenge, but rather a chance for you to define and narrow a problem space independently. You’re supercharged by having interesting, unsolved problems continually present themselves, and leading teams to excellence by example.

What You’ll Achieve with Us:

• Champion new and established product lines: Manage new and existing product modules throughout their lifecycle, from ideation and inception to supporting established product lines
• Build and own the roadmap for outcome-driven decision guidance systems: Collaborate daily with a world-class team of software engineers, data scientists, product designers, and AI/ML experts in delivering Claims Guidance to EvolutionIQ’s enthusiastic customer base
• Lead and manage a team of product managers: Lead and develop a team of product managers to own the “whole product,” from R&D/innovation work to shipping and measuring results to developing and executing a winning go to market strategy.
• Develop and lead a winning go to market motion: Drive commercial success alongside product marketing, sales, and our broader revenue organization as we deliver outstanding products to market
• Solve complex problems early and often: Proactively identify and collaborate cross-functionally resolve potential issues or roadblocks that could hinder EvolutionIQ’s ability to deliver on its broader mission
• Delight our customers daily: Deliver winning, market-tested Claims Guidance products to many of the largest and most complex insurance organizations in the world
  
  

Key Competencies

• Cross functional communication and leadership: You thrive on working effectively with engineering, sales, customer success, and a range of partners across the organization at every stage of the product development lifecycle, setting a high bar for excellence in the work being delivered.
• Deep understanding of developing primarily AI/ML based features and systems: You have experience with, and a keen opinion on, how AI-first products present a unique set of opportunities and challenges at scale, and you’ve worked effectively to bring systems like this to market in the past
• Comfort and experience with commercial/sales/GTM: You may or may not have ever had a sales title, but you’re experienced in the commercial aspects of product management and enterprise SaaS. You’re comfortable working alongside a sales/revenue/GTM organization to build and expand the commercial footprint of the business, and approach product management with a commercially-oriented mindset.
• Abstract thinking and building flexible capabilities: You have an analytical and forward-leaning mindset when it comes to developing new capabilities and workflows in products, balancing the needs of our users, the business, and how what we build today will help (or hinder) what we can build tomorrow.
• Emotional intelligence and comfort with ambiguity: Product managers need to be both the best leaders and the best listeners in an organization. In situations with no clear solution, you know how to arrive at an appropriate decision or strategy, including who, how, when, and to what extent to involve others at every stage of the product development process.
  
  

Experience & Skill Set Needed:

• 7 years experience as a product manager in an enterprise software environment or high production SaaS environment
• Experience in working with insurance claims or medical document synthesis is a plus
• 2 years managing PM teams, preferably in B2B / enterprise SaaS
• Deep experience balancing data/analytics with intuition and product sense in guiding strategic decision making in a high impact environment, and ideally experience in delivering AI-driven products to market
• Demonstrated success defining and launching outstanding products to enterprise organizations, as well as launching and iterating on products early in their life cycles
• Delivering results as a key player in a sales/GTM context; selling across stakeholders at multiple levels in an organization and communicating effectively with everyone from the business champion to the end user to the C-level executive
• A self-starter, “can do” mentality with an eagerness to independently seek out and solve previously unsolved problems
• You're comfortable in a startup environment that moves at a fast pace, with a direct, open, and honest culture; you care about getting the best answer, not about being right or wrong. You're motivated by results, not by your ego
