Qumis is transforming the way the insurance industry works. We’re a venture-backed AI SaaS platform that enables brokers, carriers, and claims professionals to analyze, compare, and extract structured insights from the world’s most complex contracts—insurance policies. Founded by attorneys and technologists, Qumis delivers law-firm-grade coverage analysis with the speed and scalability of AI. Our customers include some of the largest insurance brokerages and carriers in the world, and we’re scaling with venture capital from top tier funds fueling our fast growth.

Help us build the most accurate insightful AI for insurance.

We’re hiring our first Product Manager to join our founding team. This is not a “maintenance PM” role—you will be building category-defining products from zero to one in an environment of rapid growth, ambiguity, and extreme ownership with a deep bench of industry subject matter experts.

As Founding PM, you’ll work directly with the CEO, CTO, and founding engineers to shape the roadmap, turn customer insights into product strategy, and ship features that become the new standard for how insurance knowledge work gets done. You’ll need to combine legal-grade rigor with startup-speed execution, balancing customer empathy, technical depth, and business impact.

This role is perfect for someone who thrives in unstructured environments, wants to work on cutting‑edge AI workflows, and is excited by the chance to have founder-level influence on product, culture, and company trajectory—with results to match.

• Own the roadmap:
  Translate our vision and customer feedback into a clear, prioritized product strategy across brokers, carriers, and claims workflows.
• Discover & define:
  Lead customer research and turn ambiguous insurance workflows into structured, buildable product requirements.
• Partner with engineering & design:
  Write crisp specs, define success metrics, and drive execution across novel, cutting edge AI-driven features bespoke to the insurance industry.
• Ship & iterate:
  Run lean product experiments, measure outcomes, and iterate quickly to ensure product‑market fit and customer adoption.
• Think commercially:
  Work closely with sales, customer success, and leadership to align product with go‑to‑market, pricing, and growth strategy.
• Build for trust:
  Design with rigor—our customers expect legal‑grade accuracy, citations, and reliability from day one.

See below for required and preferred qualifications.

• 5-8 years of product management experience, with at least 2-3 years leading 0-to-1 product development at a startup or high‑growth company
• Proven track record building and shipping products from scratch that achieved meaningful customer adoption and business impact
• Experience in commercial P&C insurance (placement, underwriting, claims, policy analysis) or adjacent industries (legaltech, fintech, compliance, contract management)
• Strong technical fluency — comfortable working with engineers on complex systems, APIs, and AI/ML product development
• Enterprise B2B SaaS experience — you understand how to build for sophisticated, risk‑averse professionals and navigate longer sales cycles

• Self‑directed and low‑maintenance:
  You don't need hand‑holding. You identify what needs to be done, make decisions with incomplete information, and drive outcomes independently.
• Customer‑obsessed:
  You know how to dig deep into workflows of cautious, detail‑oriented professionals. You've built products for users who need precision and reliability, not just speed.
• AI‑fluent:
  You understand both the possibilities and limitations of LLMs. You can translate technical AI concepts into real customer value and design around model constraints.
• Structured thinker with bias for action:
  You bring clarity to ambiguity, balance short‑term wins with long‑term strategy, and move fast without breaking things that matter.
• Hands‑on executor:
