About the Role
As the Product Manager for Insurance, you serve as the central connector and knowledge hub for everything related to our insurance offerings. Your day begins by collaborating with internal teams such as Marketing, Operations, Member Services, and Finance. In doing so, you help them navigate product details, support ongoing initiatives, and ensure they have the clarity needed to move forward confidently. Additionally, you work closely with your direct report, the Insurance Relations and Product Specialist, to prioritize ongoing projects. You’re not expected to come with an insurance background, while helpful it isn't a requirement; instead, you bring strong communication, analytical thinking, and a natural ability to build relationships across the organization.
Mid morning might involve reviewing product performance trends or fielding questions from internal partners who rely on your guidance to support our members. In this role, you serve as the bridge between CAA Niagara and a diverse group of insurance underwriters—coordinating updates, clarifying requirements, sharing feedback, and ensuring product details stay aligned across all parties. You’re the person who keeps information flowing, removes roadblocks, and translates complexities into clear direction for the teams that depend on you.
Throughout the afternoon, you may collaborate with Marketing on new product messaging, meet with partner underwriters about upcoming renewals or enhancements, or support sales teams with insights that help drive adoption and awareness. You play a crucial role in ensuring operational readiness—coordinating training, reviewing processes, and supporting compliance requirements (with full training provided). Your strength lies in making sure all the moving pieces stay connected, informed, and moving toward shared goals.
Every day, you’re contributing to the evolution of our insurance portfolio by being an exceptional communicator, problem solver, and collaborator who thrives in a role that sits at the centre of many teams.
The expected salary range for this role is $64,000.00–$74,000.00. Placement within this range will be determined based on the successful candidate’s qualifications, skills, and experience.
