About Axle

AI-native clearinghouse for insurance. Backed by Y Combinator.

About the role

As a Forward Deployed Product Manager at Axle, you’ll drive product strategy for Axle's core enterprise customers. As AI has evolved, it's become critically important for product managers to spend more of their time with customers as the line between client product and our products blur.

What they're looking for

  • 5+ years of experience in Product Management, Solutions Engineering with a product focus, Technical Product Management, or other customer-facing roles
  • Proven experience leading design sessions or discovery workshops with enterprise clients - you’re comfortable owning the room, asking hard questions, and driving to clarity
  • Exceptional written and verbal communication — able to translate complex technical concepts into clear narratives and tradeoffs for technical and non-technical audiences alike
  • A track record of making smart, defensible prioritization decisions that balance competing stakeholder needs, business impact, and technical feasibility
  • Sharp product intuition — you can walk out of a client design session and immediately know what matters, what doesn’t, and what needs to be built
  • Founder mindset: simplify, move fast, and embrace feedback. You thrive in fast-moving, ambiguous environments and enjoy building 0→1 products
More about this role

Axle is the AI-native clearinghouse for insurance. Our infrastructure and AI agents automate complex insurance workflows between carriers and third parties including insurance verification, monitoring, and policy updates.

The multi-trillion dollar insurance industry still relies on phone calls, paper forms, and outdated systems that are slow, error-prone, and easy to fake.

That’s where Axle comes in. We bridge the gap between insurance and other industries through an AI Native Clearinghouse for insurance, enabling our clients to make business decisions in seconds instead of hours while allowing consumers to unlock their most underutilized financial asset - insurance.

We are backed by leading investors including Y Combinator, Google’s AI fund Gradient Ventures, and angels from companies like Plaid and Cox Automotive.

Our team is in-person 4 days a week in our Flatiron/NoMad office in NYC.
