Branch is on a mission to make insurance more accessible, so more people can be covered. We innovate using data, tech, and automation to simplify insurance from start to finish. We eliminated inaccurate quotes in favor of real prices, created a better way to bundle, and cut unnecessary costs in the traditional insurance process. Then we pass those savings along to our members. Branch is remote first, with most Branchers choosing to work from home. Our headquarters are located in Columbus, Ohio, where we come together from time to time to build relationships and connect with each other in real life. We also have office space in Columbia and Concordia, Missouri as well as Forreston, Illinois.

Job Description
Senior Product Management Specialist
Branch Financial, LLC
Role Description We are looking for a senior product manager to own a core area of our software products, with an initial focus on integrations: the APIs and partner platforms (comparative raters and national agencies) that let outside agents pull accurate, timely Branch prices. You will run the change program for a dedicated engineering squad and turn business goals into the requirements that get us to the outcome. You are technical enough to sit with engineers. You do not need to write code, but you understand what an API is, what it does, and what it enables, and you can hold a credible conversation about it. You are comfortable when priorities shift and direction is not fully spelled out, and you cut through to the real objective rather than waiting for it to be handed to you. You have mastered the fundamentals of product management over the last few years and are ready for more complexity. You hunt for opportunities in the data instead of waiting for the business to surface them. Key Responsibilities - Product Strategy & Execution - Take Ownership: Own the roadmap and lifecycle for your area, starting with integrations and the API partnerships that drive quoting reach. - Manage Complexity: Break down abstract business goals into actionable technical requirements, and operate with confidence when priorities shift and direction is ambiguous. - Data-Driven Decisions: Define success metrics (KPIs) for your products and use data to prioritize. Proactively find opportunities in the data and bring them forward, rather than waiting for the business to flag a problem. Run research as an ongoing practice, not a one-off. - Team Leadership & Delivery - Leadership: Act as the primary product lead for a development team and its stakeholders, with the credibility to direct the work and be taken seriously. - Agile Management: Manage backlogs, roadmaps, and planning, and ensure the team has a steady stream of "ready" work. - Quality Control: Ensure the output meets the quality standards expected by our users and stakeholders. - Process & Collaboration - Continuous Improvement: Participate actively in internal conversations on process improvement. We want you to help write the playbook, not just follow it. - Work Smart with AI: Use AI tools to accelerate research, analysis, and reporting so more of your time goes to judgment and decisions. - Documentation: Contribute to internal documentation, creating clarity for stakeholders and future team members. - Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with Design, Marketing, Sales, and Service to make sure we are working on the right things at the right time. - Mentorship & Learning: Collaborate with leadership and peers, pass on what you know, and keep upskilling by soliciting feedback. Qualifications - Technical Fluency: You understand what an API is, what it does, and what it enables. You can hold credible conversations with engineers and translate technical constraints to business stakeholders. You do not need to be a developer. - Experience: 3-5 years of direct experience managing digital products (Web, Mobile, or SaaS). - Data Literacy: Comfortable using data and research to identify and prioritize opportunities. This is not optional in this role. - Agile Experience: Proven track record of delivery in an agile environment (managing backlogs, sprints, and standups). - Self-Direction: A self-starter who identifies opportunities and drives them, rather than waiting for direction. - Communication: Exceptional written and verbal communication; the presence to command a room and direct a team. Nice to Have - Experience with integrations or API partnerships (comparative raters, national agency platforms), or experience in insurance or a regulated industry. A plus, not a requirement. Benefits - Above-market salary - Branch is a data-driven company, so we do the math on salaries, too. If you get an offer from Branch, you can expect compensation that hits above the mark. - Pay equity and transparency - Our pay isn’t just market-driven, it’s equitable. We let experience and performance drive your success, never your gender, race, orientation, or beliefs. - Remote-first (with perks) - Work from where you’re most comfortable. We’ll take care of your work from home set-up and monthly internet. We also have a Columbus headquarters if you’d like to join us in an office. - Flexible YouTime - We don’t just let you control your own time off. We actually encourage you to use it. After your first year at Branch, we’ll give you $1000 toward your next vacation. - Employee stock options - You’re not just an employee. If you’re full-time, you’re also a part-owner. You’ll have stock options so you can invest in the company you’re helping to grow. - Medical, vision, dental - Get all the coverage you need for a healthy, happy life. - 401k and contribution matching - Invest in your future. Branch helps you get to retirement on time with a portion of your contributions matched each month.
