Senior Product Manager â€" European Development Centre, Dublin
The Guidewire European Development Centre team focuses on delivering extensions for the Guidewire product suite. The team is responsible for identifying and analysing business requirements, configuring Guidewire applications to meet those requirements, and integrating Guidewire applications to external systems.
Product managers at Guidewire assume a wide range of responsibilities. You should have experience gathering requirements for enterprise applications, a high degree of comfort with technology, and exceptional analytical and communication skills. You should also be comfortable both engaging in product design discussions with developers and working closely with customers to incorporate feedback into the applications.

- Provide expertise and selling tools for the Marketing and Sales organisations, including presenting directly to customers and partners
- Represent the Guidewire Product Management organisation in Dublin as the first PM in a recently-established team
We have a work environment that encourages individual initiative, experiments with new ideas for continuous improvement, and lets great people do great work by minimizing the hassles of hierarchy and bureaucracy. You must be a self-starter and able to perform with minimal supervision while working in a team environment, communicating effectively with developers and product managers.
Requirements
- 5+ years of product management in an enterprise software environment
- Previous experience with the insurance industry desired, but not required
