Principal Product Manager, AI/ML

Remote

Federato is on a mission to defend the right to efficient, equitable insurance for all. We enable insurers to provide affordable coverage to people and organizations facing the issues of today - the climate crisis, cyber-attacks, social inflation, etc. Our vision is understood and well funded by those behind Salesforce, Veeva, Zoom, Box, etc.

Federato’s AI/ML-driven platform leverages deep reinforcement learning to help insurance companies optimize the portfolio of risks they insure, allowing them to continue to provide fair and equitable pricing in difficult-to-price areas. Our category-defining ‘RiskOps’ solution drives better underwriting decisions by operationalizing underutilized data investments and surfacing real-time risk and portfolio insights. We focus on putting insurance underwriters back in the driver’s seat, helping them meet their goals while providing an important service to society.

Role Overview

As the Principal Product Manager, AI/ML, you will lead the vision and strategic development of the next generation of ML products for insurance underwriting applications. 

You will be responsible for leading the product development of a pioneering LLM/ML-backed application for insurance underwriting submission intake. You will be part of a high visibility, high impact group at Federato, with outstanding resources allocated and will closely partner with the CEO, CTO and Head of Data Science to lead the charge on this initiative. The ideal candidate for this role will be passionate about LLM and ML systems and their applications, and have a proven track record of effectively delivering scalable groundbreaking ML solutions that have significantly impacted industry operations.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Measure product performance by defining and tracking key metrics, using data to guide decision-making and identify opportunities for optimization.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with engineering, design, marketing, sales, and customer success to align on strategy, execution, and go-to-market plans.
  • Drive agile product development, ensuring iterative progress and continuous improvement with a focus on delivering value early and often.
  • Promote product adoption and understanding by effectively communicating the value proposition across internal and external stakeholders, and supporting sales and customer success teams.

Who We Hope You Are

  • Proven success in launching LLM/ML-driven products for industries or groups initially resistant to AI adoption.
  • A solid foundation in AI/ML, data analysis, experimental design, and their application in product development.
  • Skilled at working with data science and ML teams to create intelligent search and discovery features, including semantic search and relevance tuning.
  • Demonstrated ability to define opportunities, build 0→1 products, and manage strategic roadmaps in fast-paced, high-growth environments.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving mindset, using user research, data insights, and first-principles thinking to inform product decisions.
  • Exceptional collaborator and communicator, with a track record of aligning cross-functional teams and navigating complex stakeholder environments.

Form CC-305

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
