Product Manager

We're Looking for an experienced Product Manager!

About the Company:

Security Benefit is a leader in the U.S. retirement market with more than $75 billion in assets under management. We offer opportunities to thrive, innovate, and make an impact. As part of our team, you’ll play a key role in driving the future of the U.S. retirement industry. Security Benefit is a PLACE where we promise to help our customers To and Through Retirement®.

We’re proud to have been recognized as one of the best in the business:

• Named to Ward’s 50 list of top-performing life-health insurance companies
• Recognized on list of Ingram’s Top 100 Private Companies in the Kansas City area in 2025

As an Product Manager you will own the product outcome for the Annuity and Retirement Plan Forms area within Security Benefit's CCDM operating model, independently owning product direction and the Epic-level backlog for policyholder- and plan-participant-facing forms — new business applications and enrollments, compliance documents, and post-issue policy change forms — across annuity and retirement plan product lines. Operating independently on standard product management cases, the PM serves as the voice of the customer, maintains the Epic-level backlog, defines the 6–9 month product roadmap, and drives quarterly planning and value delivery for forms governance and regulatory alignment.

This is the core professional-level role in the Product Management series — expected to function without daily supervision while escalating complex or ambiguous decisions appropriately.

The Product Manager position reports to the Vice President, Portfolio Strategy & Delivery and can be based out of our office in Topeka or Overland Park, Kansas. We work a hybrid schedule, offering flexibility to work both remotely and on-site.

• Communicate product vision and roadmap for the forms backlog to stakeholders, delivery team, and leadership

• Identify and validate product opportunities based on customer needs, regulatory change, and business priorities, including forms governance, version control, and sunset schedules
• Serve as an expected primary source of portfolio intake and lead cross product team and / or cross business team collaboration — surfacing forms needs from Legal/Compliance, Operations, Product Management, Marketing, and Sales, converting them into Initiatives once they meet the Predefined Portfolio Governance Thresholds
• Own Epic-level backlog prioritization, balancing regulatory deadlines, customer comprehension, compliance requirements, risk, and delivery capacity
• Collaborate with Product Team BAs on story readiness and acceptance criteria for form changes — story-level detail is owned by the BA where a BA exists; otherwise by the product team, with Delivery Manager facilitation
• Partner with the Tech Lead on Enabler Epic identification and sequencing for forms automation and digital delivery
• Drive quarterly objective setting and Epic prioritization for QPE; present the prioritized Epic list and commit to quarterly objectives and Epic targets
• Serve as the primary point of contact for business stakeholders — Legal/Compliance, Operations, Product Management, Sales, and Design partners — in the forms product area
• Represent customer needs — financial professionals, policyholders, plan participants, and SB associates — to the delivery team
