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 interviews to deeply understand end user challenges and objectives
  • Defining frameworks and solutions to solve user challenges by prioritizing what matters and what doesn’t
  • Collaborate with Engineers to codesign and scope the features for internal development squads
  • Animating training sessions for clients, prospects and colleagues

PROFILE

For this key role within our Product Management team we’re keen to speak to applicants that meet the following criteria.

You have:

  • A Masters degree or PhD in a quantitative discipline
  • 3+ years experience in Insurance industry , with interactions with either pricing actuarial teams or IT (pricing or policy admin systems)
  • 3+ years experience in a quantitative position , such as Data Scientist, Engineering or Product Manager.

  • A sound understanding of machine learning concepts, models, and algorithms
  • Excellent quantitative & analytical skills

  • Very strong problem solving skills with a focus on providing and creating robust solutions
  • Ability to provide detailed, focused and deep product requirements and system reactions
  • Team leadership or management experience

  • Effective communication skills (to exchange with both technical & non-technical stakeholders / clients).
  • A collaborative mindset (capability to work as part of a team in a dynamic environment)

  • Fluent English language skills

Important: You must possess the authorisation to work in the relevant country (whether France / USA / Canada or the United Kingdom).

In exceptional circumstances / for exceptional candidates, we are equally open to the visa sponsorship as long as they meet the above criteria & are already in possession of their final diploma / attestation of their final academic results.

BENEFITS
