Full Description

Kin is redesigning insurance to be smarter, faster, and centered on the customer. We use intelligent pricing, offer seamless bundling, and make every step (from purchasing, servicing to claims) simple and friction-free, especially in the places traditional insurers often ignore. We empower people to protect what matters most, starting with their homes and expanding to all they value, in a world where climate risks, rising costs, and outdated systems leave too many behind. Our approach has fostered amazing growth, attracted marquee investors, and earned us accolades, including being named to: Built In Chicago's Best Places to Work, Midsize Companies (2021-2025). Forbes' America's Best Startup Employers (2021- 2024, Ranked #37 in 2024). Inc. 5000 Fastest-Growing Private Companies. Forbes’ Fintech 50. Simply put, our people are what make us great – we need forward-thinking, inspired game-changers like you to join us in our mission. About the Role We are looking for a Product Manager to join Kin’s Growth team and take on one of the most critical challenges in scaling our business: making our workflows and processes simpler, faster, and more adaptable for building new and managing current insurance products. As we expand into more states and new lines of business, the complexity of our insurance platform grows exponentially—spanning regulatory requirements, compliance workflows, underwriting rules, and policy administration. In this role, you’ll be at the center of untangling that complexity by designing tools and systems that empower teams across Kin to operate with speed and precision, without heavy engineering dependencies. Your work will directly enable us to scale our product offerings with confidence, ensuring that compliance, risk management, and operational excellence stay seamlessly in lockstep with our growth. This is a highly leveraged role: the solutions you build won’t just make individual processes more efficient, they’ll create a foundation that allows Kin to multiply its impact across states, products, and customer segments. You’ll work cross-functionally with legal, compliance, operations, design, and engineering to identify friction points, design intuitive self-service solutions, and implement scalable processes that accelerate our expansion. Success in this role means reducing bottlenecks, unlocking growth capacity, and helping Kin deliver new products to more customers faster — without sacrificing the rigor required in a regulated industry. If you thrive on solving hard problems with simple, elegant solutions and want to sit at the center of driving Kin’s next wave of growth, this role is for you.
