Head of Product Management

The Opportunity

The Head of Product Management is a newly created role and the first dedicated product leadership position at Andesa. We are hiring an experienced product leader to bring discipline, best practices, and outside-in perspective we have not had before, and to translate Andesa's deep domain capability into a more deliberate product strategy and roadmap for our two software platforms.

This is a hands-on leadership role inside a profitable, established business. You will own the product strategy and roadmap for our carrier policy administration platform and our emerging broker plan administration platform. You will also partner with services leadership where our software and services capabilities intersect. We expect you to be deeply engaged in the work itself - influencing product requirements documents, sitting with clients, partnering closely with engineering, developing business cases, and personally driving the operating cadence of the function - not solely setting direction from a distance.

Andesa has a deep bench of senior business analysts and client-facing leaders who have many of the skills of product managers and owners: domain mastery, client insights, and the instinct to translate complex needs into requirements. We expect the right product leader will recruit predominantly from that internal bench, identify the BAs ready to step into product manager and product owner roles, and develop them into a high-performing team and function, supplementing with external hires where the bench has gaps.

What You'll Own

• Develop and publish Andesa's first integrated product roadmap for the two software platforms: the carrier policy administration platform and the emerging broker plan administration platform.
• Establish a clear strategy for each platform.
• Build Andesa's market intelligence practice and translate market insights into product recommendations.
• Stand up a repeatable Voice of Customer practice across buyer segments.
• Manage inbound client-driven enhancement requests with transparent prioritization.
• Partner with Sales, Finance, and Senior Leadership on product pricing, packaging, tiering, and module strategy.
• Work closely with Sales, Marketing, and Client Success on positioning, messaging, sales enablement, demo strategy, launch plans, and customer references.
• Build the connective tissue between Product, Sales, Client Success, Services, and Technology with an operating cadence.
• Partner with Technology leadership on agile practices, release management, and platform investments.
• Contribute to user conferences as a product voice and represent the product organization in client and prospect conversations.
• Lead evaluations of build, license, or partner decisions and support M&A efforts.
• Define product KPIs and OKRs and own product-level outcome metrics.
• Recruit and develop Andesa's first product management team, primarily from internal senior business analysts and client-facing leaders.
