Product & Design Sourcer

Assured is on a mission to modernize insurance. Claims processing (i.e. should we pay this claim?), while often overlooked, is the foundation of the entire industry. It’s currently highly manual, involving phone calls, faxes, and gut instinct, costing tens of billions of dollars a year. We can do better.

At Assured, we provide large insurers with the software solutions they need to win in a modern, technology-driven world. From self-service claim-filing software to backend fraud detection, we’re the engine that powers claims processing for some of the largest insurers in the world.

The challenges we face are deep and diverse, from creating digital experiences that provide comfort and clarity to claimants at their most stressed and vulnerable to orchestrating large-scale ML-driven decision-making on billions of dollars of claims payments, life at Assured is dynamic, collaborative, and rewarding.

Great Product & Design teams aren’t built by waiting for exceptional talent to apply—they’re built by finding it.

A Contract Product & Design Sourcer
, you’ll spend time engaging exceptional product management and design talent. You’ll partner with recruiters and hiring leaders to understand what great looks like, translate hiring needs into creative sourcing strategies, and build high-quality pipelines for critical senior-level Product and Design roles. This contract has the potential to extend based on business needs and performance.

The best sourcers don’t simply run the same searches as everyone else—they experiment, follow signals, uncover overlooked talent, and find outstanding product thinkers and designers in unexpected places. They genuinely love the hunt. That’s the energy and creativity we’re looking for in this role.

Where is the best Product & Design talent hiding? Build thoughtful sourcing strategies that reach beyond obvious titles, companies, and keyword combinations to uncover exceptional product managers, product designers, design leaders, and other high-impact talent.

How do we find people others overlook? Use creative search techniques, talent mapping, market research, portfolios, product launches, case studies, design communities, referrals, conference talks, and unconventional signals to identify high-potential candidates.

What does “great” look like for each search? Partner with recruiters and hiring managers to understand the role, define the target profile—including product area, customer, business model, craft expertise, scope, and leadership experience—and turn an intake conversation into a focused sourcing plan.

How do we earn a candidate’s attention? Craft personalized, credible outreach that connects a candidate’s specific work, product experience, and career motivations with the opportunity—not a generic “exciting opportunity” template.

How can we continuously improve our searches? Use response rates, conversion data, market feedback, and pipeline quality to refine sourcing strategies and focus effort where it will have the greatest impact.

How can technology make sourcing smarter? Use AI tools such as Claude, Codex, and similar platforms to accelerate research, generate new search ideas, personalize outreach, and improve efficiency without sacrificing judgment or the human touch.

How do we build strong, diverse pipelines quickly? Proactively identify Product & Design talent across different backgrounds, company sizes, industries, product types, and career paths while maintaining an exceptionally high bar.
