Senior Insurance Quote

Senior Product Manager - Insurance & Ancillary

The Opportunity:

Every year, millions of people come to TrueCar to save time and money buying a car. All of them need insurance, and the way they have to buy it is broken: long duplicate forms, underwriting delays, sales calls they did not ask for, and handoffs to third parties who start the whole thing over again.

TrueCar is building embedded insurance to fix that. As a Senior Product Manager, you will build and own the digital product end-to-end, including the flows that let a customer receive an instant quote, bind a policy, manage coverage, and add vehicle protection without ever leaving TrueCar’s platform.

We already have the distribution, the brand, and the partners. What we need is a Senior Product Manager who can turn that into a digital experience our customers will love. This is a zero-to-one build opportunity, with our Engineering and Design teams alongside you. You will report to the VP, Insurance & Ancillary.

This is a hybrid role that requires frequent in-person collaboration in our Santa Monica, CA headquarters office.

How you will contribute to TrueCar’s success:

• You build and own the digital product end-to-end. You drive the vision, technical roadmap, product specifications, and execution for TrueCar’s embedded digital insurance platform across quote, bind, and servicing.
• Re-engineer how customers interact with insurance. Rethink legacy insurance processes from first principles. Eliminate redundant questionnaires, manual data entry, and processing delays, replacing them with a streamlined experience customers will love.
• Deploy AI across all consumer touchpoints. Embed generative AI models, machine learning, and automated processes into quoting, product selection, and policy servicing.
• Architect partner integrations. You partner with internal teams and external partners to design, build, and optimize integrations.
• Extend into ancillary products. Apply the same approach to additional products that help customers protect their vehicle and manage the cost of owning it.

Your Expertise:

• Proven product management experience. Or equivalent experience building and shipping digital products people love to use.
• A first-principles product mindset. You take long and complex multi-step processes apart and rebuild them in simple consumer digital experiences, rather than accepting how the industry does it today.
• Technical & API Integration fluency. You read API docs, specify integration contracts and data schemas, and hold your own with engineers on how the backend should behave.
• You have shipped AI and automation into real products. LLMs, document and data extraction, or self-service automation flows that removed operational friction.
• A data-backed thinker who ships. You have experience shipping zero-to-one digital products on fast schedules. You write precise specs, prioritize a technical backlog, and dig into the analytics yourself, backing assumptions and recommendations with hard numbers rather than instinct.
• Logic-first product thinking. You are skilled at looking at a visual prototype and instantly identifying the underlying functional requirements and user experience flows.
• Built digital auto insurance flows from quote to bind, at a carrier, MGA, or an embedded platform.
• Shipped a regulated consumer product that runs on partner APIs and automated underwriting.
