About the Role
Ethos has digitized one of the most painful journeys in consumer finance. Today, someone can apply for life insurance in minutes, with no medical exam and just a few health questions.

We’re looking for an exceptional Product leader to own the back half of our consumer funnel: the health interview where users answer sensitive questions and get an instant underwriting decision and the post-approval experience where they choose how much coverage they need, for how long, and complete their purchase.
