The Associate Product Manager (APM) will support the definition, development, and launch of new features and products under the direction of a Senior Product Manager. This role partners closely with stakeholders across the business to clarify needs, translate them into actionable requirements, and help ensure that projects are executed successfully.
In addition to general product management responsibilities, this role will play a critical part in a multi-year platform modernization initiative of our proprietary Administrative and Operational platform. Our existing platform is highly complex and will be re-imagined in 2026. The APM will help break down the migration into smaller, manageable efforts; evaluate where functionality should live within modern solutions; and drive rigorous prioritization across competing priorities.
