The Role

You will be spearheading our Pricing product alongside Ethan , finding unique datasets, testing and implementing strategic pricing models.

About You

• You love turning data into decisions — you’re excited about transforming pricing into a competitive advantage by integrating new data sources, deploying predictive models, and building scalable infrastructure.

• You thrive in fast-moving environments — balancing actuarial, engineering, and underwriting inputs to ship models and tools that make an immediate business impact.

• You’re adaptable and resourceful — when experiments don’t work as planned, you pivot quickly, test new ideas, and keep pushing forward.

• You’ll work closely with leadership — reporting directly into the CTO/cofounder while collaborating with actuarial, underwriting, and engineering leaders across the company.

• You want to build in person with us — this role is based at our San Francisco HQ, where we love solving problems side-by-side.

What You’ll Do

• Own the pricing product roadmap — from idea to launch: write PRDs, define infrastructure needs, and partner with actuaries and engineers to ship models into production.

• Be the voice of “why” — align underwriting, actuarial, and leadership around how new models, data sources, and infrastructure strengthen Shepherd’s growth and capacity story.

• Keep things moving — prioritize ruthlessly, manage cross-functional dependencies, and ensure pricing milestones land on time (and with measurable impact).

You’d be our dream candidate if…

• You’re a builder at heart — with 4+ years of product management experience in data/ML-heavy or pricing-related products, skilled at working with both technical and business stakeholders.

• You make things happen — experienced in driving data/ML initiatives forward, balancing short-term delivery with long-term scalability, and thriving in fast-moving environments.

• You’re a communicator and collaborator — comfortable translating technical complexity (models, APIs, registries) into clear business impact, and aligning diverse teams around outcomes.

Bonus points for experience in insurance, fintech or other modeling-heavy industries.
