Product Manager (Poland, Remote)

Job description

## **About First Connect** Our mission at First Connect is to keep independent insurance distribution growing in the right direction. Our digital marketplace gives independent agents access to 150+ top US carriers (insurance companies) and the optionality necessary to grow their businesses, selling home, auto, commercial, life, and more. We've helped tens of thousands of active agents get consumer-grade software at their fingertips, and we plan to accelerate our growth. As a quickly growing company focused on helping agents and agencies win, we make sure our users have what they need to do their best work, wherever they work from. ## **Role Overview** This role sits at the heart of First Connect's agent experience. Carrier (insurance company) access is our core value proposition — it's why agents come to us and how they grow their business. You'll own how agents discover carriers, request access, and get to the point of quoting across 150+ carrier relationships, working closely with Product, Engineering, Design, and our US-based business team, plus carrier partners directly. Because our carrier partnerships are growing fast, this isn't a pure-builder role — you'll spend real time coordinating access requirements and go-to-market timing directly with carriers and the business side, which means you'll naturally end up acting as an informal leader for a wide group of people who don't report to you. That's exactly why we're looking for someone who can genuinely inspire the people around them and bring them along — not through authority, but through the strength of their thinking and how they frame a problem. We want people to want to work with you, not feel like they have to. ## **What You'll Do** - Drive Your Own Discovery: find and define problems yourself — through data, agent conversations, and carrier feedback — not off a backlog someone hands you. - Drive Product Strategy - own the roadmap for carrier discovery and access. - Decide what's worth solving, and defend that call with reasoning, not intuition. - Own the Carrier Store end-to-end — the marketplace where agents discover and request carrier access — and the workflows behind 150+ carrier processes. - Coordinate directly with carrier partners and our US-based business team on access requirements and go-to-market timing. - Bring engineering, design, and whoever else is needed (finance, marketing, sales, support) into a shared story around a problem — influence without formal authority is core to how this role gets things done. - Define and track KPIs (e.g. time from request to access, conversion), and prioritize by impact. ## **What You Bring** - You're currently or most recently working as a Product Manager, ideally 4+ years in. - You're outcome-driven, not delivery-driven. - You've owned a product genuinely end to end: your own discovery, your own data analysis, direct conversations with users and partners. - You know how to influence without authority — getting engineers, designers, and carrier partners on board with your point of view through the strength of your reasoning and how you frame things, not through your job title. - You're comfortable without a rigid playbook. We use bits of Scrum and Kanban where useful, but we don't standardize process across teams. - You don't need deep technical skills — a basic understanding of how APIs and data mapping work is enough. - You speak English and Polish fluently on a professional level. - You're based in Poland, comfortable with having afternoon/evening meetings on a regular basis. **Nice to Have** - Scale-up experience — comfortable moving fast. - B2B marketplace or insurance industry background. - Genuine, hands-on experience with AI tools. ## **Recruitment Process** 1.
