Company mission
To help independent Medicare brokers build the insurance business of their dreams.
Role
Who you are
- We're looking for someone comfortable operating independently and partnering with senior stakeholders, including C-level leadership at a fast-moving Series B startup
- Ideally you're a strong generalist with prior experience building internal tools or systems of record, and you bring deep workflow intuition and regulatory awareness to the role
- You have a track record for managing a successful product domain, ideally in B2B SaaS or platform products
- You write clear product specs and have strong instincts for when to be scrappy vs when to be rigorous
- You're comfortable navigating cross-functional work and can clearly communicate decisions and tradeoffs
- You use data to inform decisions, whether through dashboards, SQL, or close partnership with data teams
- You've seen products through multiple launch cycles and know how to set goals, measure impact, and iterate
- You thrive in ambiguous, fast-paced environments and take ownership without waiting to be asked
- You're deeply empathetic toward all the different internal and external stakeholders you work with
What the job involves
- We're looking for a Senior Product Manager to own a critical internal platform that powers how Spark manages carrier contracting, commissions, and agency operations
- This isn't a simple internal tool, it's a purpose-built product that encodes the operational intelligence behind Spark's ability to scale
- You'll work closely with engineering, design, and the operations team who are the platform's primary users, translating complex regulatory and operational workflows into a system that's intuitive, reliable, and built to grow with the business
- This role sits across execution and discovery: you'll need to be energized by shipping intentional, user-centric workflows while staying curious about the underlying systems and data that make those workflows possible
- Own key product areas related to scaling operations
- Collaborate with engineering and design to define product specs, ship high-quality features, and drive adoption
- Maintain a tight feedback loop with the ops team, treating them as a first-class product constituency with their own personas, workflows, and success metrics
- Conduct user interviews, analyze product usage, and run experiments to identify high-impact opportunities
- Act as a subject matter expert in your domain and ensure alignment with broader product strategy
- Bring clarity and structure to ambiguous problems and workstreams
Our take
Medicare is the national health insurance package for US citizens over the age of 65, with most people that seek to enrol in a plan making use of brokers to help them evaluate and select options. Spark is a technology company and “concierge” service that partners with independent Medicare brokers and provides a platform that helps them navigate and build retirement benefit packages for customers.
Handling the marketing, sales support, back office, and compliance requirements of Medicare brokering, Spark bridges the gap between insurance agents and their customers. The company already has partnerships with more than 100 leading Medicare agencies that represent over 3400 brokers, a good starting point from which to grow.
Agetech is a growing market, due to an aging population and longer lifespans, and Spark has benefitted from an increased demand and interest in Medicare brokering. Highlighting this is its 2024 raise of a $25 million Series B funding round that will support its future growth and product development.
