That’s why at Applied, we’re building a team that shows up every day ready to learn, willing to try new things, and driven to deliver innovative software and services that make us indispensable to our customers – all within a culture built on values that make us indispensable to each other too. With 40+ years of experience in the insurtech game, we’re not just redefining what’s achievable, we’re creating a place where amazing career moments are made possible. Position Overview We're seeking a Portfolio Strategy Director. This is the portfolio strategy and operating layer for Product and Engineering. You build the operating cadence, frameworks, and reporting that help product and engineering leaders make and defend their decisions, and that translate portfolio performance for the E-Team and the Board.

This is a role with real strategic weight. You are the person in the room who connects what we’re building to why it matters, who pressure-tests the business cases behind the roadmap, and who operates at the portfolio level to make sure our product and engineering outcomes achieve our long-term goals. You will have direct visibility into E-Team decisions and influence across every function at Applied, with a true end-to-end perspective on how we build, launch, and realize value from our software.

What You’ll Do

* Facilitate portfolio prioritization and tradeoff conversations. Bring the analysis and frameworks that make roadmap tradeoff conversations productive between product, engineering, and ultimately business leaders. Help product and engineering leaders make allocation decisions they can confidently defend to the E-Team and the Board, including tradeoffs and risks to manage. * Connect product and engineering work to the financial plan. Articulate how the roadmap connects to meeting our long-term financial goals.
