Senior Product Manager

About Artificial

Help shape the future of specialty insurance

At Artificial, we’re building the next generation of technology for the specialty (re)insurance market. Our mission is to transform how brokers and carriers operate in complex markets by removing operational barriers and enabling smarter, faster decision-making.

We use modern technology to solve real challenges for some of the world’s leading brokers and insurers. By automating the repetitive and structuring the complex, we help our partners unlock new opportunities for innovation and growth.

You’ll be joining a collaborative team that values curiosity, ownership, and continuous learning. We work in an environment where ideas are heard, support is built-in, and outcomes matter. Everyone here has the chance to make a tangible impact on our products, our customers, and the industry.

We've just raised $45M (£33M) in Series B funding from lead investor CommerzVentures, new investor Move Capital, as well as all existing shareholders. This investment round gives us the room to grow with confidence, continue to innovate, and ensure that Artificial remains the first choice for brokers and carriers seeking a smarter way to trade digitally.

Join us, and take the chance to be a part of something that will change the landscape of insurance for generations.

About the role

We're looking for a Senior Product Manager to own outcomes end to end: framing the problem, shaping the smallest version that moves it, shipping it in collaboration with other teams, and proving whether it landed with our clients.

We are currently scaling our Product offering so you’ll be joining an established team made up of product, insurance and technical experts to meet the demands of our growing client pipeline.

This opportunity would be ideal for a Senior Product Manager who has worked in a scale-up previously, and wants to take on genuinely challenging problems in specialty insurance. It is a client-facing role: you will spend real time with clients in the specialty insurance and reinsurance market, and you will need to hold a position when a client's request and the right product decision diverge. This is a true 'hands-on' role, going beyond traditional backlog management or delivery coordination. You will also help us sharpen how the product team operates as we grow.

Responsibilities

• Work across discovery, delivery and optimisation: turn problems and opportunities into well-shaped work with a clear hypothesis, ship it, and improve what is already live. Set the standard for how this is done, so other product managers can learn from the work you produce.

• Decide what to build next and what to stop. Design the research and measurement that will answer the question in front of you, and show the reasoning behind each decision.

• Lead roadmap and delivery conversations with clients as a peer. Where a client's request and the right product decision diverge, hold the position and explain why.

• Hold scope to the smallest version that still moves the outcome, working with cross-functional teams to ship iterative enhancements, and coach that same discipline across the teams you work with.

• Own the roadmap for your client engagement and set its direction within company strategy. Agree priorities and timing with the VP of Product, and decide what to stop and why.

• Own a product initiative across your client engagement from start to finish, including its milestones and how you will know it has succeeded.

• Feed what you learn from your clients into our view of the target state for digital and connected insurance businesses.

First Three Months

In the early days of your role, you’ll be expected to focus on:

• Building relationships across teams to support project success

• Leading discussions with both internal and external stakeholders

• Making sure everyone at Artificial is aligned on what is important

• Delivering against our continuous roadmap, and starting to form a view on how we'll know they've landed well with customers

• Forming direct relationships with external stakeholders

• Gaining meaningful insight into our current processes and ways of working that could benefit from fresh eyes

• Taking ownership of the work flowing through your area, and building the relationships and context needed to make the calls yourself.
