Senior Product Marketing Manager

Embedded insurance is sold inside someone else's product, to a buyer who did not come looking for insurance. That puts unusual weight on the material behind the sale. Our sales, partner, and marketing teams need competitive context specific to the industry they are selling into, insurance product comparisons that hold up when a partner’s own risk or finance team reads them, playbooks, and answers to the objections that come up in every deal. As we build more experience in an industry, that material has to get deeper and more specific, because we are talking to people who already know the category well.
