Responsibilities

Identify new product and business opportunities for Allstate: apply business acumen to rigorously sourced and interrogated internal and external signals to find and prioritize the best opportunities for Allstate today and in the future.

Develop strategy for the opportunities we choose to pursue: consider market landscape, business model options, go-to-market approaches, etc. and craft the best path to achieve our goals.

Integrate strategies, business models, and goals of Allstate’s new product development efforts with broader enterprise goals and activities, to identify and capture synergy opportunities.

Support the development of new products and businesses by coordinating and/or driving operational and back-office functions, partnering with and leveraging Allstate resources – e.g., finance, legal, regulatory, customer service. Define and pursue operational excellence for the products we build.

Additionally,

Act as a thought partner to your initiative leadership team, including product, design, and technology functional leads.

Help manage a cross-functional and cross-enterprise stakeholder group that includes senior Allstate executives. Build alignment through clear communication – rooted in a warm, collaborative engagement style. Tactically, this will require designing and structuring crisp discussion messaging and materials for executive-level meetings. Interpersonally, this will require developing strong relationships across multiple levels of the organization and earning influence and credibility along the way.

Cultivate a wide portfolio of strategic partnerships – e.g. product capability licenses with startups, distribution agreements with commercial partners, and a variety of cross-Allstate, cross-functional partnerships.

As the project scales, help build scale the team’s Strategy & Operations capabilities.
