Job description

At Allstate, great things happen when our people work together to protect families and their belongings from life's uncertainties. And for more than 90 years, our innovative drive has kept us a step ahead of our customers' evolving needs. From advocating for seat belts, air bags and graduated driving laws, to being an industry leader in pricing sophistication, telematics, and, more recently, device and identity protection. 

Your role in the team

As the Lead Digital Product Manager for Integration Platforms, you will shape and own Allstate's enterprise-wide integration strategy across APIs, event-driven architecture, and TIBCO-based legacy integrations. This senior strategic role is accountable for how applications, platforms, and services connect across the organisation—through modern APIs, events, file-based mechanisms, and long standing integration workflows.

You will lead the product vision, roadmap, and lifecycle for Allstate's core integration capabilities, including the transformation of the enterprise API gateway, evolution of event-driven services, and stability and modernization of TIBCO and legacy integration pipelines. This includes defining the future API Management strategy, driving the enterprise eventing blueprint, and guiding long-term plans for TIBCO, ensuring resiliency, availability, and seamless interoperability across systems.

Managing a globally distributed team of 3–4 Digital Product Managers, you will set strategic direction, ensure execution excellence, and deliver measurable platform outcomes across multiple integration products. You will partner closely with architecture, engineering, security, and business stakeholders to consolidate platforms, drive modernization, lead enterprise migration efforts, and enable the next generation of integration capabilities.

This is a critical leadership position at the centre of Allstate's digital ecosystem—ideal for a senior product leader, passionate about modern integration technologies, platform strategy, and enterprise-scale transformation.

• Provide leadership and coaching to Digital Product Managers, setting standards for backlog management, story refinement, KPI development, and agile practices.

• Establish governance, best practices, and operating models for integration product management across teams.

• Apply deep integration domain expertise across APIs, event-driven architectures, messaging, TIBCO platforms, and integration security/governance to design scalable, reusable services.

• Oversee delivery execution across multiple backlogs, ensuring iterative delivery, platform readiness, quality, compliance, and operational stability.

• Partner with cross-functional leaders (engineering, security, architecture, business) to align sequencing, acceptance criteria, and value realization.

• Communicate progress, risks, and strategic direction to senior leadership and key business partners, influencing outcomes and decisions

Essential Skills 

• Minimum of 5 years of experience in Digital Product Management or related fields 

• Proven experience leading multiple products, teams, or workstreams

• Strong leadership, communication, negotiation, and stakeholder management skills 

• Ability to translate complex technical concepts into customer- and business-centric outcomes 

• Experience mentoring and developing product managers
