About The Position

SafeLease is redefining how insurance is designed, priced, and distributed inside leased real estate. The company has built a vertically integrated insurance and software platform that embeds tenant protection and commercial coverage directly into speciality insurance operations, transforming insurance from a low-value add-on into a scalable, recurring revenue engine for operators. By combining purpose-built software with in-house underwriting and insurance program design, SafeLease treats insurance as a configurable product, enabling flexibility across coverage, pricing, and contracts while driving measurable NOI improvement and operational efficiency for customers. Today, SafeLease’s platform is used by more than 4,000 properties nationwide and has become a core part of how operators manage risk and monetize their tenant base. Founded four years ago, SafeLease is profitable, capital-efficient, and backed by an enduring family office capital base. Having established a leadership position in self-storage, the company is now investing further in product innovation and insurance expansion to extend its platform into adjacent commercial property verticals (manufactured housing, light industrial, hangars, marinas, etc.), with a clear ambition to build the leading insurance infrastructure for leased real estate. Our technical organization is growing, and we’re seeking a Director of Product Management to guide the evolution of our insurance platform. In coordination with dedicated engineering resources, analytics, and key stakeholders across the organization, you will prioritize, source and refine the data platform that powers the entire organization. Data speaks to you and results matter. You are able to take disparate problems, distill them into opportunities and creatively find solutions. You have a general bias toward building over buying, but are humble enough to embrace the best solution regardless of source. You know how to drive clarity and focus—collaborating cross-functionally with Engineering, Product, Finance, GTM, and Executive Leadership to define priorities, refine requirements, and ensure go-to-market readiness. You’re just as comfortable rolling up your sleeves to build an MVP, run a competitive analysis, or lead a product revamp as you are presenting insights to senior leadership. You connect decisions to measurable outcomes, clearly communicating how your work drives growth and business performance. You’re customer-obsessed and problem-focused, with a balance of strategic vision and tactical execution. Analytical yet creative, you can interpret complex data, synthesize imperfect information, and turn ambiguity into action. Above all, you’re collaborative, resourceful, and outcome-driven—an influential voice for what we’re building and why it matters, with no task too small and no challenge too big.
