Kin’s mission is to reimagine home insurance For Every New Normal. While other insurers struggle to handle a fast-changing world, Kin is built for the future and is prepared to meet its challenges head on while helping our customers do the same.
Kin is proud to be one of BuiltIn Chicago’s 2021 and 2022 Best Mid Sized Companies to work for, and Forbes 2021 Best Startup Employers in North America. Simply put, our people are what make us great, and we need forward-thinking, inspired game-changers like you to join us in our mission.
So, what’s the role?
Kin’s Product team is the fulcrum that takes our vision of what home insurance should be and makes it real. Our product managers are responsible for the commercial success of the product. They straddle technology and all other business areas to ensure the right work is getting done.
We are currently looking for a Product Director to join our team. As a Product Director, you will immerse themselves in the early stages of the customers’ (predominantly digital) journey in discovering Kin’s insurance products, and why Kin’s products are best in class. You will be leading a product team and working with an engineering team that are building products and features that are at the “tip of the spear” in driving user interest and engagement with Kin’s products, innovating solutions to increase awareness of Kin products, and driving more and more of the right types of prospective customers to Kin’s site(s).
In this role, you will be responsible for directly managing a small team of one or more other product management resources, as well as collaborating with colleagues at all levels within the organization. You will partner mostly closely with our Claims organization - and the teams within it - on identifying methods, tools, products, and features to optimize Claims intake, and Claims operations. You and your team will also partner very closely with our Payments team, which is the team responsible for formally processing payments to customers.
