About the role
About SafeLease
At SafeLease, we're rethinking how P&C insurance is sold in an age of technological change. We believe the industry's biggest inefficiencies aren't technical problems — they're structural ones. And we're building the team to tackle them.
SafeLease is a profitable insurance business that designs, underwrites, and distributes specialty coverage for commercial property owners and their tenants. Most insurance companies either distribute products or bear the risk — we do both. We back our policies with our own capital, which means we control the full stack: product design, tech, and the speed at which we move. That end-to-end ownership lets us offer customers real flexibility, saving time and money for more than 4,000 properties insured for billions in value nationwide.
We're a team of 70, growing over 100% annually, and we've done it without sacrificing profitability or culture. Here, you'll get high discretion and a wide aperture of problems to solve. We embrace the newest technologies, move fast together, and operate with the intensity of a small company where every person's work is visible. If you're looking for a place to sharpen your craft alongside people who take their work seriously, you'll fit right in.
About the Role
We are seeking a Director of Product Management, Claims to own the product vision, strategy, and roadmap for SafeLease's claims experience.

Develop and monitor claims product KPIs (e.g., cycle time, loss adjustment expense, leakage, automation rate, customer satisfaction) to evaluate impact and guide iteration.
Roll up your sleeves to build MVPs, run competitive and market analyses, and lead product revamps, while also presenting insights and recommendations to senior leadership.
Connect product decisions to measurable outcomes, clearly communicating how your work drives growth, efficiency, and business performance.
Facilitate cross-departmental collaboration, managing stakeholder relationships to drive consensus and outcomes on claims priorities.
