Job Description
Senior Product Manager responsible for API development for the insurance industry at Sureify. Drive product strategy and architecture with high-level individual contribution.
Responsibilities:
- Define the long-term roadmap for the DFA APIs, ensuring they don't just meet technical standards but provide a competitive edge for carriers.
- Define how DFA APIs evolve into and alongside our CoreCONNECT platform, enabling carriers and partners to build differentiated experiences on top of a flexible, extensible API layer.
- Seed the market for an emerging product by working with marketing, sales, and potential customers.
- Serve as Sureify’s representative and thought leader in industry working groups shaping IRI Digital First for Annuities standards, influencing how carriers, distributors, and vendors define and adopt modern annuity APIs.
- Engage deeply with annuity carriers and distributors to understand the friction points in the current annuity ecosystem and how our APIs can solve them.
- Author clear, actionable specs for complex API workflows that account for high configurability requirements.
- Partner closely with engineering to build a high-performance, scalable API layer. You’ll ensure the product is "developer-friendly" for both internal professional services teams and external systems integrators.
- Align internal stakeholders on our strategy and roadmap. Partner with product engineering to build, with professional services to ensure the APIs are easily deployable in the field, and with sales to help close customers.
Requirements:
- The "Shape" of a Leader: You are a "Product Architect" (strong in Customer Insight and Strategy) who knows how to "Build" (strong in Execution).
- Product Leadership: Owned a product within an enterprise software market with high-touch direct sales.
- Enterprise Complexity: Experience in a highly concentrated, enterprise market (Insurance, Fintech, or Healthtech) where software must be highly configurable and integrated by 3rd parties.
- API-First Mindset: You understand that an API is the product. You have experience defining technical requirements for developers and system integrators.
- Strategic Autonomy: A proven track record of taking a vague market opportunity (like a new industry standard) and turning it into a concrete, successful product.
- Based in the US/Americas: Ability to work effectively with US-based carriers and time zones.
