Product Manager, Product Platform

Kin Insurance is a remote-first employer focused on simplifying and improving homeowners' insurance and related services. They are seeking a Product Manager to own and evolve their product configuration platform, ensuring that internal teams can efficiently build and manage products independently.

Responsibilities:

• Own the product strategy and roadmap for Product API, the product configuration data model, and product expansion and revision tooling
• Define how internal teams — State Management, Underwriting, Insurance, Compliance, and others — consume and depend on product data, and build the platform to serve them as customers
• Drive the Product API strategy and versioning standards so internal and future external consumers get reliable, well-documented interfaces
• Lead discovery on how the platform should extend as Kin's offerings grow beyond insurance, grounding decisions in how consuming teams actually work today
• Build and scale the AI-enablement layer on the Product API MCP, using AI for rapid prototyping and other enablement work that lets consuming teams self-serve
• Partner with engineering and design to take platform capabilities from prototype through production rollout
• Write specs and requirements precise enough that engineering can build IHOP and PAPI features with confidence and minimal back-and-forth
• Define and own the metrics that measure how independently consuming teams can deliver and maintain products, and use them to drive the roadmap

Requirements:

• 5+ years of experience in product management, with direct ownership of a platform, API, or internal tooling product
• Experience treating internal teams as customers — you can translate their workflows into platform requirements without over-indexing on your own assumptions
• Comfort operating in ambiguity where the platform's scope is expanding (e.g., beyond insurance) and the right boundaries aren't yet fixed
• Technical fluency to work directly with engineers on API design, versioning, and data model decisions
• Experience with or strong interest in applying AI tools to internal workflows — prototyping, configuration, or enablement use cases
• Written and verbal communication skills that hold up with both engineers and cross-functional stakeholders like Compliance and Underwriting
• A bias toward shipping — you can take a platform capability from early concept to something teams actually rely on
