Senior Product Manager

What We Are Looking For

Decent is looking for an inquisitive Senior Product Manager to strengthen our product offering, and help bring affordable healthcare to all.

Who We Are

Decent envisions a world where everyone has the freedom to do the work they want without sacrificing access to affordable and comprehensive healthcare. We believe in our mission to offer more affordable health insurance options for start-up to midsize businesses by aligning incentives to improve health, reduce costs, and put members at the center of their care.

We help small businesses (2-100 employees) band together in a large group PEO and do their payroll, so we can save them 35% on their health insurance. We're servicing a huge market need for affordable and satisfying health insurance (79 NPS vs. industry average of 19), and all of our plans include unlimited primary care via the direct primary care (DPC) model. We sell both direct and through brokers and have partnered with national broker distributors like BenefitMall and OneDigital (25K brokers) to offer the world's first integrated health plan + PEO. We set ambitious goals around team NPS and believe building and maintaining a strong positive culture is the key force multiplier in everything we do.

Why We Love Working Here

• Decent is an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate our inclusive work environment and welcome members of all backgrounds and perspectives.
• We are a people first company and believe our success is defined by the success of those we work with.
• We don’t schedule meetings at least 1 day a week to allow our team to have focused work time and additional flexibility.
• Our teams are remote; we work asynchronously and make space for real time collaboration as needed.
• We offer a fantastic compensation package consisting of a combination of competitive base salary + stock options, medical and dental benefits, career advancement opportunities in a small but quickly growing company, and take what you need PTO, including your birthday!

Value Proposition of the Role

• We are outcome oriented—we’re focused on the impact our work has on our customers and our users.
• We believe in working together. Our product managers work together with product designers, engineers, stakeholders, and whomever else they need to work with to ensure the right product is defined, prioritized and built.

How You’ll Spend Your Time

• Understanding the company vision and OKRs and collaborating with the team to identify the challenges that block us from achieving our goals.
• Help define the strategy—the approach—to how we investigate and prioritize these challenges, and scope out and own the product work to solve these challenges.
• Working with a balanced team to design, validate, prioritize, deliver, measure, evolve, maintain, and retire software that delivers user value and impacts business metrics.
• Conducting, synthesizing, and analyzing user research to validate/disprove assumptions about the problem and solution space.
• Breaking down work into an actionable backlog of user stories for development.
• Running experiments, and measuring if we’re on the right track.

What You’ll Bring

• Passion for our mission of bringing affordable health care to all.
• 5+ years of direct Product Management experience, notably on web-based products applying a version of agile/lean startup/user-centered design, including user research.
• Your bias for action, collaboration, lightweight processes, and tight feedback loops.
• Your approach to
• Identifying a product opportunity and bringing it to market
• Breaking this opportunity down and translating it into working software
• Understanding if you’re on the right track
• Evolving your perspective of the above and bringing a holistic mindset to product development

• Quickly ramp up on your understanding of a new problem space in a complex domain
• Continuously give and receive honest, direct, productive, and respectful feedback
• Meet people where they are, and apply active listening
