Outbound Product Manager, Advanced Product Designer; APD & Integration Gateway

Outbound Product Manager, Advanced Product Designer (APD) & Integration Gateway

Product Development and Operations / Full time / Hybrid

Join Guidewire’s Product Development & Operations (PDO) team, where we deliver operational excellence and transformative innovation for the world’s leading P&C insurers. Our team builds secure, scalable, and efficient cloud platforms, with a strong focus on AI, data, and customer‑centricity. We thrive in a collaborative, inclusive environment that values curiosity, continuous learning, and bold problem‑solving.

As an Outbound Product Manager on the Guidewire Cloud Platform, you will own the outbound product story for two strategic platform areas:
Advanced Product Designer (APD) – our cloud‑based, no‑code product configuration platform (including the tooling and services that migrate Standards‑Based Templates (SBT) commercial lines onto APD); and Integration Gateway (IG) – our cloud‑managed integration runtime for Insurance Suite. This role is pivotal in capturing market and customer insights, identifying unmet needs and opportunities, and translating them into clear product direction, customer value, and commercially meaningful outcomes across product modeling and integration.

You will collaborate across teams to ensure these platforms deliver measurable value, efficiency, and adoption for our customers.

Across both product areas

• Act as the Outbound Product Manager for APD and IG.
• Engage directly with customers, partners, and field teams to understand real‑world product configuration, model, and integration needs.
• Synthesize market, customer, and field insights into actionable product opportunities and a prioritized set of outbound requirements.
• Translate insights into clear positioning, value narratives, and enablement that drive adoption of APD and IG.
• Represent APD/SBT and IG topics in customer meetings, advisory groups, workshops, and Connections sessions.
• Partner closely with Inbound Product Managers and other Platform PMs, and collaborate with Architecture, Standards, Security, SRE, Professional Services, Enablement, Sales, and Marketing to align roadmap, customer readiness, and go‑to‑market execution.

• Champion APD as the single source of product truth that generates UI, metadata, and Cloud REST APIs to power Policy Center, Jutro, Integration Gateway, and other Guidewire Cloud services.
• Drive the outbound direction for APD feature enhancements, including product modeling, multi‑state support, rules, content layering, and managed content delivery.
• Own the customer‑facing narrative and adoption strategy for migrating SBT commercial lines onto APD via “Safe Landing,” the one‑time conversion path that produces Cloud APIs with no policy data migration and no product refiling.
• Help shape the evolution from SBT 1.0 on Policy Center to an APD‑centric managed‑content pipeline (SBT 2.0), gathering field input on conversion priorities and platform dependencies needed to represent ISO‑based content faithfully.

• Position IG as the standard integration runtime for Insurance Suite on Guidewire Cloud, articulating when to use IG versus direct Cloud APIs versus customer ESBs.
• Represent the breadth of the IG platform to the field across API gateway and management, messaging and eventing patterns, connectivity patterns, observability, and developer experience.
• Champion the end‑to‑end developer journey, from discovery and onboarding through design‑time experience to run‑time monitoring and troubleshooting, and feed friction points back into the roadmap.
• Partner with the Marketplace team to position and grow adoption of pre‑built integration accelerators and Built‑By‑Guidewire IG apps, improving discoverability and attach rates for marketplace‑delivered integrations.

• Strong ability to synthesize customer, market, and field input into actionable insights that influence product direction and go‑to‑market execution.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.
• Working knowledge of integration concepts such as REST APIs, messaging and eventing (pub/sub, queues, retries), webhooks,…
