Head of Product

Seyna’s vision is bold - we are building the infrastructure enabling any company to create, sell and manage insurance. Selling and managing insurance should be as easy as using Stripe to collect payments or AWS to host your website (find out more here).

We can (and will) achieve it if our technology and products are best in class. To make it happen, Seyna is hiring its leader for Product. Join us to invent and build the future of insurance !

We’re off to a great start. Our founding team includes experienced leaders from insurance and high growth technology companies. Seyna raised a record 14M€ seed investment from Global Founders Capital, Allianz and La Financière Saint James. Our clients already include large enterprises (Decathlon), fast-growing insurtechs (Garantme) and international distributors (Seetickets).

Now we need you !

We are tackling hard user problems, which require world-class product management. Our clients include insurance brokers, brands, distributors, other insurance companies and reinsurers. Within those companies, our users include data scientists, developers, accountants, sales reps, actuaries. Seyna’s technology offering goes from APIs to user applications.

That’s a lot to build. We’ll do it piece by piece. Would you like to take on the challenge of leading Product at Seyna ? Keep reading.

Are you passionate about developer platform companies (Stripe, AWS, Twilio, Datadog etc…) ? Do you appreciate the elegance of API end points ? Can you also identify the correct user experience for a data dashboard ? How about a CRM tool created by Seyna which brokers use to run their business ?

Do you understand business goals and translate them into a product vision and specific features ? Do you love spending time with users, to figure out their problems and design elegant solutions ? Can you manage ambiguous prioritizations requirements, and extract a clear roadmap for a team ?

What’s a Head of Product, at Seyna ?

Every team member at Seyna is responsible for - and to - all our users. On the client side (brokers, distributors, the final insurer consumer or company) and on the capital side (reinsurers, other insurance companies). Our Head of Product will:

• Contribute to Seyna’s business strategy, and make sure our product is an enabler to achieve those goals
• Make sure Seyna is actively investing and progressing on achieving its long term platform vision
• Create a coherent vision of what our products should be, and understand where they might fall short today
• Define Seyna’s product roadmap, dealing with ambiguous prioritisation needs
• Execute the whole product cycle : from user research to identifying the problem, to writing specs, to tracking development, to QA, to evangelising the finished product
• Collaborate with engineering, to make sure the roadmap moves fast and is delivered with high standards
• Balance speed and quality, with a focus on tangible results
• Be a leader at Seyna - articulate and evangelize Seyna’s roadmap, decisions and tradeoffs, internally and externally
• Report directly to our CEO
• (In the future, hire a team for product. We’re looking for someone with the skills to lead a product team, yet who also enjoys the fact that initially you’ll do it all)

What we hope you have

• 6+ years experience as a product manager, and additional experience heading PM (either a whole company, or at minimum a full product). Meaningful stints in product research or design, software engineering, and/or sales or marketing are a plus

What you’ll get from us
