ABOUT THIS ROLE
PEAK6 AI Strategies is the AI investment and company-creation arm of PEAK6.
Were building what the next generation of services companies looks like: real businesses with real customers and real revenue re-founded around AI.
Backed by PEAK6s P6 AI Strategies we acquire and operate companies in the insurance services and BPO space then rebuild their core workflows with agents automation and software until the economics look like a technology company not a services firm.
Youd be the founding Head of Product: the technologist-operator who decides what we build ships it into live operations and owns the transformation roadmap across the platform. Youre not selling AI to an enterprise and hoping they adopt it. You own the enterprise.
This team is onsite and based out of our Austin HQ. For this role we are also open to candidates in Chicago and NYC.
What youll do:
- Own the product. Define and ship the agentic platform that runs underwriting support claims policy servicing and back-office workflows across our operating companies. You set the roadmap.
- Deploy forward. Spend real time inside the operating businesses sitting with claims processors and ops managers mapping workflows finding the 20% of the work thats 80% of the cost. Then build against it.
- Move the P&L. Your success metric isnt feature adoption or NPS its margin. Every launch should show up in unit economics within a quarter. Youll have a direct line from we shipped this to the business makes more money.
- Shape the thesis. As we evaluate acquisitions youre in the room assessing which businesses workflows are most transformable and what the platform needs to absorb the next one faster than the last.
YOUR EXPERIENCE
- 2 years product ownership experience
- Youve built something from nothing a startup a side project with real users a scrappy internal tool that became load-bearing. You know what it feels like when theres no playbook and no one above you to ask.
- You have genuine technical depth: you prototype your own ideas you can read the code and you have strong intuitions about what current models can and cant reliably do in production.
- Youre energized (not deterred) by unglamorous high-stakes domains because you know thats where the margin actually lives.
- Ambition is the baseline. Your grit and follow-through are what make it real.
- You move fast hold a high bar and want to work directly with people who do the same.
- Ability to be in our HQ 5x a week if located in Austin.
