Senior Product Manager, Property Tax Optimization

Kin Insurance•St. Petersburg, FL

6d•Remote

About The Position

The three biggest costs of owning a home are your mortgage, property taxes, and insurance. Kin's already in the insurance game, and mortgage is underway - property taxes are the next piece. Property tax appeals allow homeowners to challenge the assessed value of their home with their local taxing authority, potentially reducing their annual tax bill if the assessment is found to be too high. We're looking for an ambitious Senior Product Manager to own Kin's newest product area: property tax optimization. You'll work closely with design, research, and engineering to build a new product offering from scratch — owning the roadmap, your KPIs, and a mix of quick wins and bigger bets. Your success will hinge on your ability to connect customer problems to product solutions and build strong relationships across the business to make them happen.
