Head of Product Design - InsureTech Offline

Let's forget about UI, UX, Jira, Slack, and Figma for a moment.

At Annuities Genius, we focus on creating a delightful product by addressing two core human needs:

1. Functional need - insurance agents need to quickly find the best annuity (which is a complicated insurance product) for their clients.
2. Emotional need - the process should be frictionless; we should anticipate all the needs and seamlessly assist the process, sharing joy and surprising our customers.

What is Annuities Genius

• Full-stack sales & illustration engine for annuity agents, bundling what would otherwise require several separate tools.
• Bootstrapped product company with 8 years of product market fit.
• Integrating AI and scaling to new areas.

How we work

Async and productive. No Jira. No Slack. Fewer meetings. Small teams and high individual impact. Strong engineering and product culture.

Our expectations

• Strong problem-solving skills. The user's problem is what matters most. Tooling and ways to solve it are secondary.
• Hands-on. This is not a strategy/charts role. It's hands-on in product solutions.
• High agency. We don't have managers, because every team member is a manager of one.
• High impact. In small teams, every person has to deliver meaningful results. 
• Proficiency in written English. In the async environment, formulating your thoughts and participating in discussions 
• Taste matters. No AI can replace a strong sense for design, product quality, and meaningful user experience. Solving the right problem at the right time.
• Incremental changes. No "redesign projects". Progressively making things better through tight collaboration with engineers.
