Product managers at Guidewire assume a wide range of responsibilities.

- Enterprise software experience, preferably in a product management role
- Prefer prior hands-on experience with Agile Development
- Technical capacity. You should feel comfortable with XML, be able to understand scripting languages, and be able to communicate with the engineering team on tactical technical decisions. Programming experience is not required, but is strongly preferred

- Ability to translate high level requirements into detailed product specifications
- Ability to manage complex initiatives with limited supervision
