Insurance Product Manager

Openly is rebuilding insurance from the ground up, re-imagining, and improving every aspect of the customer experience.  Doing this requires a rapidly growing team of amazing, curious, empathetic people with a wide range of skill sets–spanning technology, data science, product, marketing, sales, service, claims handling, finance, etc.

And now is the perfect time to join the journey.  Here’s why:

• It’s working.  We’re now in eight states and on our way to operating countrywide.  We have thousands of agents selling our product and millions of dollars of annual customer premiums.
• We’re well backed & stable.  We just closed our $40 M Series B fundraise and have years of cash runway in the bank.  We’re backed by some of the top investors in the world–including Google’s “Gradient” AI-focused fund, Obvious Ventures (Beyond Meat, etc.), and Advance Venture Partners.
• It’s not too late!  Despite this traction and stability, we’re still early enough in the journey that there’s time to make a real difference during Openly’s formative period.

If you’d like to understand more about Openly’s mission, consider checking out this video from a company pitch we gave several years ago at Techstars.  It’s outdated (before the initial product launch!) but still telegraphs the journey we’re on.
