• Own the end-to-end product strategy across our distribution ecosystem – including independent agents (direct + via comp raters), hosted and API partnerships, and direct onboarding flows. • Drive roadmap clarity across multiple teams: ensure every PM knows the problem they are solving, the impact they are targeting, and how to measure success. • Partner with Engineering, Design, Analytics, Business Development, and State Management to bring new distribution products and experiences to market. • Set and maintain northstar metrics and OKRs across channels – balancing conversion, cost, partner needs, and long-term customer value. • Push the organization to move fast: remove blockers, simplify decision-making, and enforce high standards for shipping quality work. • Manage and develop a team of 4-6 Product Managers across IA, Partnerships, and DTC onboarding. • Coach PMs on problem definition, experimentation, hypothesis generation, and product craft. • Establish a culture of rigor – teaching “why” before “how” and driving teams to own outcomes rather than output. • Partner with cross-functional leaders to continually raise the bar on product quality, collaboration, and execution. • Help scale the distribution product organization as Root grows into new markets and partner ecosystems.
