Technical Product Manager

Rainbow is building the next generation of commercial insurance.

We combine technology, data and thoughtful product design to make commercial insurance simpler for independent agents and the small businesses they serve.

In just four years, Rainbow has grown into one of the leading insurers of restaurants in the U.S., competing with some of the largest and most established carriers in the industry. We’ve done that with a team of just over 50 people, and we’re approaching profitability while continuing to expand into new products, programs and markets.

We’re still early enough that there is a lot left to build, but established enough to have real scale, customers and momentum.

Product works at the intersection of Engineering, Underwriting, Sales, Service and Claims.

Our Engineering, Product and Design organization is roughly 15 people, so Product Managers at Rainbow operate with significant scope and autonomy. You’ll work directly with senior leaders and domain experts, spend time with agents and internal teams, and stay closely involved from discovery through implementation and iteration.

This is our first Product Manager hire. You’ll report to the VP, Product & Design and play an important role in shaping how Product operates as the company grows.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys solving technically complex product problems and wants to grow into broader product ownership over time. You'll start by owning execution across a portfolio of initiatives while building deep domain knowledge in commercial insurance.

• Own product initiatives end-to-end: identify what is worth solving, investigate the underlying data and workflows, test potential approaches, turn that learning into workable solutions, launch, measure and iterate.
• Develop a deep understanding of Rainbow's products, underwriting model, agent workflows and operational processes.
• Develop a strong working understanding of Rainbow's codebase, database and data model so you can investigate problems independently and collaborate deeply with Engineering.
• Conduct continuous product discovery with agents, brokers, distribution partners and internal teams to understand how people work, where they experience friction and where the greatest opportunities exist.
• Use SQL and other analytical tools to investigate product and operational problems, validate hypotheses, understand system behaviour and measure outcomes.
• Write clear, thoughtful product requirements that define workflows, business rules, edge cases, validation behaviour, acceptance criteria and operational impacts.
• Partner closely with Engineering throughout solution design and implementation, balancing customer needs, business priorities, technical constraints and long-term platform flexibility.
• Collaborate with external UX Design partners to create intuitive, consistent and scalable product experiences.
• Coordinate cross-functionally with Underwriting, Sales, Service and Claims to ensure product decisions reflect business needs, regulatory requirements and operational realities.
• After launch, gather feedback, measure results and use what we learn to guide the next iteration.
• Own hands-on technical work from day one, including building prototypes or interim solutions and taking on discrete, well-scoped engineering tasks where appropriate.
• Product management experience is preferred, but we are also excited about candidates moving into Product from software engineering or another highly technical role.
• Strong quantitative and analytical skills. You're comfortable using data to investigate problems, validate hypotheses and measure outcomes.
• Strong SQL skills are required. You should be comfortable querying relational databases independently to investigate…
