Job description
Insurance is reinventing itself at unprecedented speed. Customers expect digital-first journeys, regulators demand stronger product governance and explainability, and AI is unlocking entirely new ways to design, sell, and service insurance products. The role of the Product Owner has never been more strategic - or more fun.
To accelerate this shift, we are looking for an AI-Augmented Product Owner to strengthen our Insurance Transformation team. You will sit at the intersection of product thinking, insurance expertise, and applied AI - partnering with our clients to define the product vision, shape the backlog, and deliver next-generation digital products across Life, Non-Life, Claims, and Distribution.
This is not a "ticket-writer" role. You will own outcomes, not output: setting the direction, making the hard prioritisation calls, and championing AI-first product design - deciding which steps a human still owns, which steps an AI agent can perform end-to-end, and how third-party data, core systems, and AI services plug together into products customers love.
Your Mission
Help our insurance clients turn ambitious transformation goals into shipped, adopted, and measurable digital products. You will:
- Translate strategy into a clear product vision and a roadmap people rally around
- Build and groom a backlog that balances customer value, business value, regulatory needs, and AI-driven opportunities
- Ship continuously through agile squads, then measure, learn, and iterate
- Embed AI agents and AI-augmented experiences into the product fabric, with humans in the loop where it matters
- Be the trusted voice of the customer, the user, the business, and the regulator inside the squad, * Define product vision, strategy, and roadmap for insurance products and platforms - from customer journeys (quote-and-bind, onboarding, self-service, claims) to internal tools (underwriting workbenches, handler co-pilots, broker portals).
- Collaborate with product, design, engineering, data, AI, actuarial, underwriting, claims, compliance, and legal to define and prioritise features and stories.
- Drive delivery: write crisp user stories with clear acceptance criteria, refine the backlog, run sprint events, and unblock the squad daily.
- Ship on time using continuous delivery, feature flags, A/B testing, and hypercare to drive adoption from day one.
- Communicate product status and trade-offs to stakeholders from squad to steering committee : clear, transparent, and well-told.
- Conduct user research and analyse data: interviews, usability tests, funnel analytics, NPS, and operational KPIs.
- Track insurance trends: insurtechs, embedded insurance, AI-first claims, parametric, IoT, open insurance, and regulation.
- Prioritise AI agents and features : document classification, damage estimation, suitability/KID generation, fraud scoring, next-best-action, intelligent self-service, paired with guardrails, evaluation, and human oversight.
- Ensure compliance from day one (IDD, Solvency II, DORA, AI Act, GDPR) by partnering with compliance, legal, and risk.
- Drive API integrations: policy admin, claims and rating engines, broker portals, e-ID/signature, KYC/AML, telematics, document/image AI, payments, and AI/LLM platforms.
- Support clients post go-live : measure, iterate, and grow the product.
Requirements
Do you have experience in Scrum?, Do you have a Master's degree?, * Master's degree or equivalent in Business, Engineering, IT, Finance, Economics, or Actuarial Science.
- Proven Product Owner/Manager experience in agile teams (Scrum, Kanban, SAFe), ideally in finance or insurance.
