Senior Product Manager, Forward Deployed Platform

MGT is the first AI-driven, neo-insurer focused on evolving commercial P&C insurance for brokers and small business owners. MGT's Platform team brings its AI-native insurance stack to partners: carriers, MGAs, and programs whose workflows never fit a standard configuration on the first try. The Forward Deployed Product Manager leads those implementations from kickoff to live. This is not a roadmap-and-jira role, and it is not project management. Hybrid position 3 days a week based out of San Francisco, CA, Denver, CO, or Madison, WI. Base salary range is $190,000 – $300,000 annually, depending on qualifications, experience, and location.
