About The Position

About MGT Insurance MGT is the first AI-driven, neo-insurer focused on evolving commercial P&C insurance for the brokers and small business owners. By combining the expertise of industry veterans with state-of-the-art technology, we are ushering in the next evolution of commercial insurance and working to move the industry forward through the use of modern technology, better processes, and a rock-star team. We seek visionary leaders who thrive in dynamic, entrepreneurial settings, and excel in autonomous roles. MGT's Platform team brings our AI-native insurance stack to partners: carriers, MGAs, and programs whose workflows never fit a standard configuration on the first try. We're hiring a Forward Deployed Product Manager to lead those implementations from kickoff to live, working in a cross functional pod with an Insurance, Operations, and Data talent. You sit with the partner, understand what their workflow actually needs, close the gap with code, configuration, and persuasion, and then turn what you learned into platform features so the next implementation is faster. This is not a roadmap-and-jira role, and it is not project management. Product and engineering lanes are merging at MGT, and product talent operates fluidly across strategy, data, design, and engineering. PMs that succeed at MGT embrace end-to-end execution and lean into our comparative advantage: agility. You will write compelling PRDs and then execute, directly contributing code, analyzing data in our warehouse, and own results from concept through to post go live.

Requirements

You have shipped meaningful work (beyond simple prototypes) with an AI engineering tool (Claude Code, Codex, Devin, etc.) and can show us your public GitHub.
You have 5+ years of experience at a firm that achieved scale, ideally InsureTech, FinTech, or Consulting.
You build things directly. No agile coaches or scrum managers.
You've led complex implementations to live. You can talk through what has gone well and poorly on large custom implementations and how you took those lessons into subsequent projects.
Insurance Depth . FinTech or regulated industry experience helps, but direct experience in InsureTech or at a large carrier or brokerage is ideal.
Partner-facing judgement. You can say no to a partner gracefully, negotiate scope, and keep trust through a rough go-live. Partners trust you even if in conflict.
Productizing instinct. You've turned bespoke customer requests into platform features and can explain how you decided what to generalize.
Growth stage experience. MGT is a small, high-accountability organization and that's a plus for you.

Responsibilities

Partner delight. Implementations don’t succeed on timelines alone. Ship great solutions on time, but invest in relationships with our platform partners over the long haul as their success is our success.
Implementation outcomes. Lead partner implementations to live in a pod with IPM, Ops, and Data. You own the product decisions, the gap analysis between platform and partner workflow, and the go-live.
Closing the gap yourself. Configure, script, and build what the implementation needs, in code, with modern AI tooling, rather than filing it to a backlog and waiting.
The playbook. Turn each implementation into a written, reusable playbook. Drive cycle time down and prove it.
Feeding the platform. Convert recurring one-off customizations into productized platform features. You are the Platform team's highest-signal source of roadmap truth.
