bolttech is a fast-growing global insurtech with a mission to build the world’s leading, technology-enabled ecosystem for protection and insurance. Our vision is to connect people with more ways to protect the things they value.

Launched in 2020 in Singapore, bolttech’s 1,600+ team serve customers in 35+ markets across Asia, Europe, North America, and Africa.

As a Senior Value Proposition Manager, you will own the end-to-end development of new, globally scalable value propositions across protection, insurance, digital services, and adjacent ecosystems.

Working across Product, Distribution, Pricing, Underwriting, Technology, Operations, Marketing, Legal, and regional teams, you will turn market insight and emerging trends into standardized propositions, commercialization toolkits, and repeatable growth opportunities across markets.

You will be responsible for…

• Global opportunity identification: Own market, customer, partner, competitor, and emerging-trend research across regions and product categories to identify attractive unmet needs and scalable growth opportunities.
• Zero-to-one proposition development: Lead new products from initial insight and concept creation through business case, proposition design, desirability testing, feasibility assessment, pilot, launch, and scale-up.
• End-to-end product accountability: Be accountable for the success of assigned products across the full lifecycle, setting clear outcomes, decisions, milestones, risks, and handovers from conceptualization through post-launch optimization.
• Customer and partner value proposition design: Define target segments, jobs-to-be-done, customer promise, product features, service model, experience principles, differentiation, and measurable business outcomes.
• Experimentation and validation: Design and run structured research, prototypes, sandboxes, proof-of-concepts, and Alpha pilots to test desirability, viability, feasibility, and scalability before committing to wider rollout.
• Cross-functional product development: Orchestrate Product, Digital, Engineering, Pricing, Underwriting, Operations, Legal, Compliance, Marketing, Sales, and regional stakeholders to convert concepts into launch-ready products and customer journeys.
• Commercialization and product marketing: Develop positioning, messaging, target use cases, packaging, pricing inputs, launch narratives, sales plays, and go-to-market plans that enable regional and commercial teams to take propositions to market effectively.
• Standardization and toolkiting: Create and govern reusable global proposition blueprints, modular product constructs, playbooks, templates, pitch assets, FAQs, training materials, decision guardrails, and implementation toolkits that support consistent execution and reduce bespoke development.
• Portfolio and roadmap management: Maintain a prioritized innovation and proposition roadmap, balancing strategic fit, customer value, commercial potential, delivery effort, risk, and reusability across markets.
• Launch and scale: Define launch readiness criteria, coordinate market pilots and full launches, capture learnings, and package validated propositions for repeatable deployment across multiple markets and partner channels.
• Digital product performance and post-launch optimization: Define measurement frameworks and instrumentation requirements for digital products; build and interpret acquisition, activation, conversion, engagement, retention, and churn funnels; establish dashboards and performance baselines; diagnose drop-off points; and lead data-driven experiments and product improvements that increase customer value and commercial outcomes.
