[Remote] Lead Product Manager

🌍 Remote · United States 💼 Full-time

Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Applied Systems is hiring a Lead Product Manager to own the vision and strategy for Submissions Manager, its AI-powered platform for managing commercial insurance submissions in Applied Epic. The role drives adoption, research, cross-functional execution, integrations, roadmap prioritization, and product metrics to improve commercial insurance workflows for agencies and carriers.

Responsibilities

  • Define and lead the product vision and long-term strategy for Submissions Manager, grounded in a deep understanding of the problems it solves for our agency personas and where it sits between the marketing process and the bind workflow of commercial submissions
  • Own adoption and activation strategy — understand what drives agencies to adopt Submissions Manager and users to activate within it, and set product direction that changes that behavior at scale
  • Identify and prioritize research initiatives with users and design partners, using what we learn to validate hypotheses and guide product direction with cross-functional and senior product leadership
  • Oversee cross-functional execution across design, engineering, product marketing, customer experience, and operations, resolving complex dependencies and keeping multiple initiatives aligned and moving
  • Lead execution across a dynamic, multi-team environment, anticipating roadblocks before they surface and removing them with minimal oversight
  • Proactively identify and own integration opportunities with adjacent Applied product areas — particularly upstream placement channels and downstream bind workflows — driving roadmap alignment through influence
  • Own roadmap prioritization and product requirements within Submissions Manager, ensuring engineering and design always have a deep, shared understanding of what we’re building and why
  • Define and track the metrics that matter, and communicate product strategy aligned with key business outcomes clearly to executive leadership and senior stakeholders

Skills

  • Experience owning a B2B workflow product — multi-step, multi-role processes with handoffs between users, where success means real work getting done faster and with less effort
  • 7-10 years of product management experience, with a track record of owning strategy and delivering outcomes at scale for a product or product suite
  • Deep empathy for users paired with practiced user research skills — identifying core pain points, prioritizing research topics, running discovery, and synthesizing findings into long-term strategy
  • Strong analytical skills, with the ability to lead product instrumentation and turn data into insight-led narratives for senior and executive stakeholders
  • Experience mentoring or informally guiding other product managers
  • Exceptional written communication — strategic narratives, executive summaries, and business cases that influence senior leadership decisions
  • Familiarity with Agile development and tools like Jira and Confluence
  • Experience building products embedded within larger platform ecosystems (e.g., Salesforce apps, Microsoft 365 add-ins, ERP extensions)
  • Familiarity with AI-assisted workflows — having shipped features involving AI automation, and an understanding of the trade-offs in keeping humans in the loop
  • Insurance industry experience is a genuine plus

  • Holiday and Vacation Time
  • Health & Wellness Days
  • A Bonus Day for Your Birthday
