Director of Product

SafeLease•Austin, TX

About The Position

At SafeLease, we're rethinking how P&C insurance is sold in an age of technological change. We believe the industry's biggest inefficiencies aren't technical problems — they're structural ones. And we're building the team to tackle them. SafeLease is a profitable insurance business that designs, underwrites, and distributes specialty coverage for commercial property owners and their tenants. Most insurance companies either distribute products or bear the risk — we do both. We back our policies with our own capital, which means we control the full stack: product design, tech, and the speed at which we move. That end-to-end ownership lets us offer customers real flexibility, saving time and money for more than 4,000 properties insured for billions in value nationwide. We're a team of 70, growing over 100% annually, and we've done it without sacrificing profitability or culture. Here, you'll get high discretion and a wide aperture of problems to solve. We embrace the newest technologies, move fast together, and operate with the intensity of a small company where every person's work is visible. If you're looking for a place to sharpen your craft alongside people who take their work seriously, you'll fit right in. On The Product Team: 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. Who You Are: 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.
