Role
Who you are
- 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
- 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
- 7+ years experience as a product manager in an enterprise software environment or high production SaaS environment
- 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

- Collaborate with and empower our high performing customer success and change management teams, who ensure the success of our customers and our products via trainings, user office hours, and frequent strategic consultations with senior leadership at Fortune 1000 insurance carriers

Our take
EvolutionIQ is a data-driven claim guidance platform for insurance providers. Its products combine structured and unstructured claim data with external third party data to provide powerful claim guidance, in an attempt to modernize the claims operations process.
The company's offering is certainly an attractive one for businesses handling large volumes of these claims - the solutions aim to help insurance providers detect and prevent fraud without impacting their productivity and customer experience. Historically, the insurance industry has had access to vast amounts of data without optimizing how they use it. EvolutionIQ's machine learning algorithms harness the learnings from every data point, allowing for much more well-informed, actionable insights.
Competition is steep among AI insurance firms, and EvolutionIQ counts rivals such as CCC Intelligent Solutions and Riskcovry in this space. However, the market size is huge and ripe for disruption. With a valuation of more than $200 million following a successful VC funding round, EvolutionIQ is focused on the further development of its product and international expansion as it hopes to capture a larger slice of this $10 billion market.
