Senior Product Manager (Insurance Growth)

At NerdWallet, we’re on a mission to bring clarity to all of life’s financial decisions and every great mission needs a team of exceptional Nerds. We’ve built an inclusive, flexible, and candid culture where you’re empowered to grow, take smart risks, and be unapologetically yourself (cape optional). Whether remote or in-office, we support how you thrive best. We invest in your well-being, development, and ability to make an impact because when one Nerd levels up, we all do.

As a Senior Product Manager (Insurance) at NerdWallet, you’ll shape products that help millions of people confidently navigate life’s big insurance decisions, including auto, home, life, and more.

You’ll balance short-term improvements with long-term vision, using data, curiosity, and a deep commitment to helping consumers make smarter financial choices.

You’ll own critical components of the insurance experience, from quoting flows and partner integrations to experimentation and data-driven optimizations. You’ll work closely with engineering to discuss technical tradeoffs, manage feature delivery from concept through launch, and use insights to guide continuous improvement. Above all, you’ll be an advocate for transparency, accessibility, and trust, ensuring that NerdWallet’s insurance products empower every consumer to make informed decisions with confidence.
