ROLE


Deploy is Akur8’s rating engine, the final step in our end-to-end vision, where all steps of pricing - from data analysis, to modeling, to ratemaking - are streamlined into one modern, powerful and efficient software.


As a new product under active development, there are numerous opportunities and challenges, providing a bridge between two key functions in insurance.


Whilst on the actuarial side it focuses on extracting insights from data and making statistical decisions for the business; on the IT side it concentrates on maintaining and producing reliable systems.


In insurance, the different skillsets and perspectives required for these two sides are currently are solved via inefficient processes and handoffs, which Deploy aims to solve in order to provide synergy and alignment so as to increase time-to-market. Solving these challenges requires a deep understanding of both IT and Actuaries objectives, how they are organized, and mapping the complex ecosystem that is behind an insurance product and its pricing.


Akur8 is looking for a Senior Product Manager motivated by problem solving, capable of deep diving on details, and who shows innovative approaches to finding intuitive solutions to seemingly complex problems.


We're looking for a profile who is highly focused on product definition, problem solving and design skillset, rather than solely a person whose main responsibility is to align priorities across the stakeholders.


The Senior Product Manager position is a cross-functional role, providing a wide range of interactions with various internal teams such as Product Design & Engineering, as well as Sales & Marketing.


Being a Product Manager in our organisation requires acquiring knowledge of how the different parts of our platform interact, and then abstracting customer problems in a framework so as to find clean solutions with solutions to complex challenges.


Main responsibilities:


  • Constantly acquiring a deep understanding of actuarial ratemaking, and IT deployment challenges(product models, Policy Admin System design)
  • Leading user interviewsto deeply understand end user challenges and objectives
  • Defining frameworks and solutions to solve user challengesby prioritizing what matters and what doesn’t
  • Collaborate with Engineersto codesign and scope the features for internal development squads
  • Animating training sessionsfor clients, prospects and colleagues

  • A Masters degree or PhDin a quantitative discipline
  • 3+ years experience in Insurance industry, with interactions with either pricing actuarial teams or IT (pricing or policy admin systems)
