Senior Product Manager - Platform

Kin Insurance•St. Petersburg, FL

23h•$170,000 - $192,000•Remote

About The Position

We're looking for a Senior Product Manager to own the evolution of Kin's core platform — the foundational layer that powers policy and contract administration, billing systems, payment infrastructure, and the APIs that connect it all. This is a senior individual contributor role with real organizational weight. You'll shape multi-year platform strategy, set the standard for product excellence on the team, and serve as a thought partner to engineering and business leadership at a moment when platform stability and scalability are central to Kin's continued growth. If you've navigated legacy modernization, API-first architecture, and the regulatory complexity of financial services or insurance — and you know what it means to treat internal teams as customers — this is the role for you.

Requirements

10+ years of professional experience, with at least 7 years in software product management
Proven ownership of platform or infrastructure products at a Fintech, Insurtech, or similarly regulated financial services company
Experience leading platform modernization or re-platforming initiatives, including sequencing migrations without disrupting dependent teams
Technical fluency sufficient to hold your own in architecture conversations and understand the downstream implications of platform decisions for reliability, scalability, and security
Vendor management experience with payment processors, policy administration vendors, or third-party data providers
Written and verbal communication skills calibrated for both technical and executive audiences — you write clearly, present confidently, and tailor your message to the room

Nice To Haves

Deep familiarity with insurance policy administration systems, billing platforms, or payment infrastructure (e.g., Guidewire, Duck Creek, Stripe, Braintree, or equivalents)
Experience with homeowners, property & casualty, or specialty insurance products
Exposure to regulatory and compliance frameworks in financial services

Responsibilities

Define and drive the long-term platform strategy for policy administration, billing, and payment systems, translating business goals into a clear, sequenced roadmap
Serve as the platform's primary product voice with engineering, architecture, and senior leadership; align stakeholders on priorities and trade-offs with clarity and confidence
Lead discovery on complex, ambiguous platform problems — defining the right problem before the solution, grounding every decision in data, user research, and business impact
Own the platform's API strategy, ensuring internal and external consumers have reliable, well-documented, and versioned interfaces that let the business move fast without breaking things
Drive solutions from early prototype to full production rollout in close partnership with data, design, and engineering
Write crisp, comprehensive product specs and user stories that give engineering teams the context and clarity they need to build with confidence
Define, own, and evangelize platform success metrics; use data to drive continuous improvement and communicate impact across the business
Mentor and elevate other product managers on the team, modeling rigor, intellectual curiosity, and collaborative leadership
Manage key vendor relationships — particularly across payment processors and third-party policy administration systems — ensuring contracts and integrations serve long-term platform goals
