[Hiring] Lead Product Manager @Applied Systems

Role Description

We’re looking for a Lead Product Manager to join our Submissions Manager Product Management team and own product vision and strategy for Submissions Manager, Applied’s AI-powered platform for managing commercial insurance submissions in Applied Epic.

Submissions Manager is Applied’s AI-powered platform to manage commercial submissions in Applied Epic, the world’s most widely used insurance agency management system. As the foundation of Applied’s strategy to remove friction between agencies and carriers, it centralizes the distributed channels insurance agents use to conduct business and brings transparency to the agency-carrier trading relationship. By stripping the manual work out of agencies’ commercial insurance submissions, Submissions Manager improves the quality of what carriers receive and helps more business get written faster.

The decisions you’ll drive will impact thousands of commercial lines agents on Applied Epic and contribute to business outcomes for agencies and carriers alike.

What You’ll Do

• Define and lead the product vision and long-term strategy for Submissions Manager, grounded in a deep understanding of the problems it solves for our agency personas.

• Identify and prioritize research initiatives with users and design partners, using what we learn to validate hypotheses and guide product direction.
• Oversee cross-functional execution across design, engineering, product marketing, customer experience, and operations.
• Lead execution across a dynamic, multi-team environment, anticipating roadblocks before they surface.
• Proactively identify and own integration opportunities with adjacent Applied product areas.
• Own roadmap prioritization and product requirements within Submissions Manager.
• Define and track the metrics that matter, and communicate product strategy aligned with key business outcomes clearly to executive leadership and senior stakeholders.

• Deep empathy for users paired with practiced user research skills.
• Strong analytical skills, with the ability to lead product instrumentation and turn data into insight-led narratives.

Bonus Points If You Also Have

• Experience building products embedded within larger platform ecosystems (e.g., Salesforce apps, Microsoft 365 add-ins).
• Familiarity with AI-assisted workflows — having shipped features involving AI automation.
