Director, Product Management

ABOUT BESTOW

Life insurance is one of the world's most important products. It's also one of the hardest to build, distribute, and modernize. Bestow exists to change that.

Bestow is a leading vertical technology platform serving some of the largest and most innovative life insurers. Our platform unifies the fragmented, legacy value chain, enabling carriers to launch products in weeks instead of years. Carriers choose us to scale and operate at unprecedented speed, powered by AI and automation.

Bestow isn't selling policies. We're building the infrastructure that helps an entire industry move faster, reach more people, and deliver on its promise.

Backed by leading investors (Goldman Sachs, Hedosophia, NEA, Valar, 8VC) and trusted by major carriers, Bestow is powered by a team that moves with precision, purpose, and heart. If you want to help reimagine a centuries-old industry with lasting impact, join us.

Bestow offers flexible remote/hybrid work, meaningful benefits, equity, and substantial growth opportunities.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

Bestow is seeking an exceptional Director of Product Management to lead a critical functional area that directly impacts millions of people's financial security. This is your opportunity to own the strategy, roadmap, and execution for a transformative business area—like policy administration, underwriting, or claims—while building and leading a team of talented product managers.

In this role, you'll have the autonomy to shape the future of insurance technology. You'll drive market research, strategic planning, and roadmap development for your domain, turning complex challenges into elegant solutions that serve our insurance carriers and their customers. Beyond execution, you'll have a seat at the table for company-level strategy, working alongside senior leadership to define where we're going and how we'll get there. This is product leadership at its best: strategic influence meets hands-on impact, with a team you'll develop and a mission that matters.

• Develop and communicate compelling product roadmaps that balance immediate wins with transformative long-term bets

• Define success metrics and establish data-driven feedback loops to measure impact and guide continuous improvement

• Build persuasive business cases and influence executive stakeholders through clear articulation of vision, strategy, and outcomes

• Make critical decisions on product direction, resource allocation, and trade-offs to drive effective execution

• Partner seamlessly with Engineering, Design, Marketing, and Operations to ship products customers love

• Help recruit world-class product talent that raises the bar and brings diverse perspectives to the team

WHO YOU ARE

• 10+ years of product management experience in B2B SaaS, insurance technology, or similarly complex domains

• 5+ years leading and developing product managers, with a track record of building high-performing teams

• Proven success owning and scaling a significant functional area or business domain from strategy through execution

• Deep expertise in product discovery, market research, and translating customer insights into winning strategies

• Strong analytical mindset with experience defining metrics that matter and using data to drive decisions

• Demonstrated ability to influence and align senior stakeholders—from enterprise customers to C-suite executives to cross-functional partners

• Experience establishing product methodologies, frameworks, and best practices that elevate team performance

• Track record of strategic planning that balances ambitious vision with pragmatic execution

• Experience in insurance, financial services, or highly regulated industries is a strong plus
