Product Lead, Data & Integrations
Job description
About the role
Assured is on a mission to modernize insurance. Claims processing, while often overlooked, is the foundation of the entire industry. It is currently highly manual, involving phone calls, faxes, and gut instinct, costing tens of billions of dollars a year. The role of the Product Lead, Data & Integrations is to ensure that data and integrations are not treated as support functions but are recognized as core to how our product delivers value. You will own the strategy, execution, and evolution of our customer integrations, API ecosystem, and data exchange capabilities. This position requires deep collaboration with engineering and customers to define how Assured connects to the outside world and how data flows across systems. Life at Assured is dynamic, collaborative, and rewarding as you build the engine that powers claims processing for some of the largest insurers in the world.
