Product Manager (App)
At JaSure (Santam), we are putting digital insurance in the hands of consumers. We are the only digital insurer in South Africa offering on-demand cover for your prized portables e.g. phones, laptops, bicycles etc. We also offer on-demand car insurance that saves you money when you’re not driving your car. We are still at the beginning of our journey to redefine personal insurance for the 21st century and make short-term insurance simpler, easier and more affordable.

The Product team works at the core of the business to research, design and deliver offerings that our customers love. We are looking for a Product Manager to own the Mobile App (iOS and Android). Your ultimate goal is to establish JaSure as South Africa’s favourite insurance App. You enjoy moving fluidly between strategic thinking and product delivery and execution. You will report to the Head of Product and work daily with a squad of designers, engineers, testers and others. You will be the first Product Manager in a team that will be growing to three PMs by 2024. You’ll work with leaders from across the business—as well as external stakeholders—to deliver on our business goals.

JaSure comprises a team of dynamic, talented and experienced technology, marketing and insurance professionals from diverse backgrounds. JaSure is part of the Santam Group. Santam is the leading short-term insurer in South Africa with a market share of more than 22%. Santam provides a diverse range of insurance products and services in Southern Africa and internationally through a network of 2,700 intermediaries and direct channels. Culture
