Product Training Manager

Akur8 is a young, dynamic, fast growing Insurtech startup that is transforming insurance pricing and reserving with transparent machine learning.

Our SaaS platform leverages the power of transparent machine learning and predictive analytics to inject game-changing speed, performance and reliability into insurers’ pricing and reserving processes.

Powered by skilled R&D, Product & Actuarial teams we’ve developed unique AI algorithms that automate the insurance pricing and reserving in an unprecedented way.

As 3rd best overall (worldwide) in the CodinGame 2022 Software Engineering Fall Challenge

With 35 nationalities within our team, and offices in Paris, London, New York, Tokyo, Milan, Cologne, Atlanta and Montréal, Akur8's solution is international by design.

Servicing more than 250+ clients across 4 continents and targeting all non-life insurance carriers, we focus on more mature markets for faster expansion.

Akur8 software strives to increase efficiency, performance and transparency of the pricing workflow, designing flexible modules and processes leveraging our proprietary machine learning algorithms.

As optimal machine learning models should be intuitive, easy to test and analyse - in order to identify errors - our Machine Learning Product Managers conceptualize key features, empowering the actuary of the future whilst simultaneously upskilling and eliminating pitfalls for the end user.

Driving our innovation, the Machine Learning Product Manager will be directly responsible for decision making regarding one of the modules of our suite of softwares (whether independently or as part of a committee, according to strategic importance).

A cross-functional role, providing a wide range of interactions with various internal teams (Design, R&D, Sales, Marketing), being a Product Manager in our organisation requires knowledge of how the different parts of our platform interact (something that you’ll gain both during your onboarding period and on an ongoing basis).
