đź“‹ Description
- • Own the roadmap and lifecycle for Branch’s core software product area focused on integrations, including APIs and partner platforms like comparative raters and national agencies that enable external agents to access real-time Branch pricing.
- • Translate abstract business goals into clear, actionable technical requirements for engineering teams, operating confidently in ambiguous or shifting priority environments.
- • Define and track KPIs to measure product success, using data to proactively identify opportunities rather than waiting for issues to be flagged by stakeholders.
- • Conduct ongoing user and market research as a continuous practice, not a one-off activity, to inform product decisions and prioritize initiatives.
- • Serve as the primary product lead for a dedicated engineering squad, directing work, managing backlogs, and ensuring consistent delivery of high-quality outputs.
- • Manage agile processes including sprint planning, backlog grooming, and standups to maintain a steady flow of “ready” work for the development team.
- • Collaborate cross-functionally with Design, Marketing, Sales, and Service teams to align product efforts with broader business objectives and customer needs.
- • Use AI tools to accelerate research, analysis, and reporting, freeing up time for strategic judgment and decision-making.
- • Contribute to internal documentation to ensure clarity, knowledge sharing, and onboarding for current and future team members.
- • Actively participate in internal conversations around process improvement, helping to shape and write the company’s product playbook rather than just following it.
- • Maintain technical fluency to hold credible conversations with engineers about APIs, data flows, and system constraints, without needing to write code.
- • Mentor peers and seek feedback to continuously upskill, fostering a culture of learning and knowledge transfer within the product organization.
- • Ensure product outputs meet the quality standards expected by users and stakeholders, balancing speed with reliability and user experience.
- • Work remotely from any of the following U.S. states: AL, AK, AZ, AR, CO, DE, FL, GA, ID, IL, IN, IA, KS, KY, LA, ME, MD, MI, MN, MS, MO, NE, NV, NH, NM, NY, NC, ND, OH, OK, PA, RI, SC, SD, TN, TX, UT, VA, WV, WI, WY.

🎯 Requirements
- • 3-5 years of direct experience managing digital products (Web, Mobile, or SaaS)
- • Proven track record of delivery in an agile environment (managing backlogs, sprints, and standups)
- • Technical fluency: understanding of APIs, what they do, and what they enable; ability to hold credible conversations with engineers
- • Strong data literacy: comfort using data and research to identify and prioritize product opportunities
