Job description

About Artificial

Help shape the future of specialty insurance

At Artificial, we’re building the next generation of technology for the specialty (re)insurance market. Our mission is to transform how brokers and carriers operate in complex markets by removing operational barriers and enabling smarter, faster decision-making.

We use modern technology to solve real challenges for some of the world’s leading brokers and insurers. By automating the repetitive and structuring the complex, we help our partners unlock new opportunities for innovation and growth.

You’ll be joining a collaborative team that values curiosity, ownership, and continuous learning. We work in an environment where ideas are heard, support is built-in, and outcomes matter. Everyone here has the chance to make a tangible impact on our products, our customers, and the industry.

We’ve just raised $45M (£33M) in Series B funding from lead investor CommerzVentures, new investor Move Capital, as well as all existing shareholders. This investment round gives us the room to grow with confidence, continue to innovate, and ensure that Artificial remains the first choice for brokers and carriers seeking a smarter way to trade digitally.

Join us, and take the chance to be a part of something that will change the landscape of insurance for generations.

About the role

We are looking for a Product Manager who will focus on orchestrating actions and helping us get the best possible results across the organisation.

We are currently scaling our Product offering so you’ll be joining an established team made up of product, insurance and technical experts to meet the demands of our growing client pipeline.

This opportunity would be ideal for a Product Manager or Owner with a background in scale up environments who is looking to apply their existing skills to help solve complex and interesting problems in the world of insurance. You'll be focusing on executing and unblocking projects, collaborating cross-functionally, and helping us strengthen how we operate as a team, being a true 'hands-on' Product Manager.

Our Product Team works across three modes - Discovery, Delivery and Optimisation - alongside an emerging Product Operations function as an enabling layer. We call this DDO+. We’re continuing to mature how we work in this model, and we’re looking for PMs who can both operate within it, and help shape how it develops.

Responsibilities

• Contribute across discovery, delivery and optimisation - framing problems and opportunities into shaped work with a clear hypothesis, shipping outcomes, and improving what's already live, according to priority

• Decide what to build next and what to stop, using quantitative and qualitative evidence as far as it is available and relevant, improving what we can measure as you go, and be able to show the reasoning behind each decision

• Lead roadmap and delivery conversations with clients, keeping their expectations aligned with what we have committed to build

• Hold scope to the smallest version that still moves the outcome, working with cross-functional teams to ship iterative enhancements

• Collaborate with VP of Product and wider team on direction, prioritisation and scheduling of product roadmap and strategy

• Support definition of our evolving target state for digital and connected insurance businesses

First Three Months

In the early days of your role, you’ll be expected to focus on:

• Building relationships across teams to support project success

• Leading discussions with both internal and external stakeholders

• Making sure everyone at Artificial is aligned on what is important

• Delivering against our continuous roadmap, and starting to form a view on how we’ll know they've landed well with customers

• Forming direct relationships with external stakeholders

• Gaining meaningful insight into our current processes and ways of working that could benefit from fresh eyes

• Adding value by making sure projects are on track and un-blocked when required

About you

Skills, experience and qualifications

• 10+ years demonstrable experience working in the Product Manager or Product Owner space and delivering value to the business

• Strategic thinker with a business mindset

We especially want to hear from you if you have:

• Come from an InsurTech or Insurance background

• Previously worked in a scale-up environment

People Skills and Behaviours

• Strong interpersonal, communication, collaboration and presentation skills

• Acting as the translator between insurance people and our engineers

• Ability to communicate complex ideas using a clear, user friendly format

• A real ‘do-er’ and builder - someone who loves being hands-on and getting things done

• Happy to travel to client site (City of London) as needed
