Job description
Fabric is where parents come to start their family’s financial life. Designed for responsible humans with kids, Fabric makes it easy to tackle your financial to-dos and help protect your family by offering life insurance, wills, and other tools in a single place that’s easy to use. Come join us as we re-make a $650 Billion industry and work to improve the lives of millions of families.
As a Product Manager for the Insurance team at Fabric, you will be fully responsible for our insurance products and tools, and all related work that impacts its success. As the owner of your product, you will:
- Develop a product vision (where you see the product in the next year, three years, 5 years) and product strategy (how we’ll get to the vision)
- With limited direction, prioritize and implement the highest impact products / features to solve our hardest problems (products / features that our users love in ways that work for the business)
- Partner closely with your team, adjacent product teams, and stakeholders
Role @ Fabric:
- User Insights & Product Discovery: Deeply understand our users’ problems, needs, and behaviors through qualitative and quantitative research methods. Engage in continuous product discovery processes, including user research, user testing, and prototyping to validate hypotheses and ensure that we are building the right features and products. Translate these insights into clear, actionable product strategies and roadmaps that are aligned with company goals.
- Experimentation & Validation: Design and execute experiments to test assumptions and hypotheses about product features and user needs. Use A/B testing, MVPs, and other experiment frameworks to validate ideas with minimal risk and investment. Use the learnings to iteratively refine product concepts before committing significant resources.
- Product Vision & Strategy: Develop and articulate a compelling product vision and strategy that aligns with the company’s goals and resonates with customer needs. Ensure that the product discovery and validation feed into the vision and strategic planning, enabling informed decision-making and prioritization. At the same time, have an opinion on when to accept technical and product debt and when to pay it down.
- Execution Excellence: Lead cross-functional teams (including design, engineering, data, research, marketing, and support) to define requirements and bring validated products to market. Focus the team on high-impact initiatives, ensuring a lean approach to development and a rapid iteration cycle based on user feedback, data monitoring analysis, and if we are hitting our company goals.
- Data-Driven Decision Making: Utilize and synthesis data from user interactions, user research, market analysis, and experimentation outcomes to inform product decisions. Establish and monitor metrics to measure product performance, user satisfaction, and business impact, synthesizing these insights to prioritize feature development and improvements against our company goals
- Stakeholder Management & Communication: Collaborate with stakeholders across the organization to align on product goals, communicate discoveries and insights, and ensure a shared understanding of product direction (e.g., scoping of new features, progress on features in development, and releases of new features). Prioritize initiatives based on strategic importance and resource availability, managing expectations and reporting on progress.
- Mentorship & Leadership: Coach and mentor product management staff in product discovery techniques, user research methodologies, and experiment design. Be open to receiving coaching and feedback to continuously improve product management skills. Foster a culture of collaboration, learning, experimentation, and user-centric product development within the team. This is especially important given our company’s remote nature.
What you’ll bring to the table:
- 5+ years of product management experience (i.e., can run product discovery and product delivery with low touch guidance)
- Joy, creativity, and curiousity in exploring and solving thorny problems
- Superior attention to detail and desire to understand the underlying reality of the consumer behavior and what is driving that behavior
- Experience synthesizing and interpreting consumer experience data
- Strong analytical skills, including working knowledge of SQL (bonus if you have experience with Python/R in a statistical capacity)
- A bias towards action
- Compassion for your coworkers and our customers
- Clear and concise verbal and written communication
- Experience collaborating with engineering, design, and user experience
- Technical expertise on APIs and BI infrastructure
What we offer:
- Competitive salary and benefits - comprehensive health insurance, a 401(k) plan, three weeks of paid time off, plus everything you’ll need to set up your home office, and more.
- Fully remote – your commute can be directly from your bed to your desk, and our dress code is sweatpants-friendly. It also means more flexibility in your schedule and better work-life balance.
- Agility & financial strength - Fabric recently became part of Western & Southern Financial Group, which has been selling insurance for 135 years. It’s the best of both worlds - we have the agility, flexibility, and growth opportunities of a small startup with the resources and stability of a large corporation.
- Parental leave - Fabric isn’t just a great place to be a parent – it’s a great place to become a parent, with 12 weeks of both maternal and paternal paid leave.
- A diverse workplace - We’re big on belonging and strive to create an open and transparent work environment – that means published salary bands to promote pay equality, Days of Action for activism and/or charity work, among other initiatives. We believe that an inclusive culture drives innovation, and results in better products and experiences for the communities we serve.
Salary Range: $140,000 - $200,000
