Data Product Manager

As a Data Product Manager at GUARD, you will own the business direction and value realization of domain data products. You will partner with underwriting, actuarial, and operational business leaders to identify high-value problems, shape product opportunities, prioritize investments, and lead cross-functional teams that deliver trusted, reusable data products for decision-making, operations, analytics, and AI readiness.

What You Will Do

Partner with underwriting, actuarial, and operational business leaders to identify high-value problems, decision needs, and opportunities for measurable business impact. Shape product opportunities by defining the problem, target users, value proposition, success measures, adoption expectations, and prioritization rationale.
