Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Kin makes homeowners insurance and related products simpler, more affordable, and better through data, technology, and human support. The Product Manager will own and evolve the product configuration platform, including the Product API, data model, expansion and revision tooling, and AI-enablement layer. The role partners with engineering, design, and internal teams to enable self-service product delivery and establish platform success metrics.
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
Skills
- 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
