Product Owner

Working directly with a dedicated Claims engineering team, you’ll take product direction and customer problems and turn them into clear, valuable and deliverable solutions. This is a hands-on Product Owner role for someone who enjoys being close to both customers and engineering - understanding how insurance teams actually work, getting beneath the problem we’re trying to solve, and making sure the team has the clarity it needs to build the right thing., You’ll work closely with Product Management, Engineering, UX and Delivery, owning the translation of product priorities into successful delivery. You’ll:

• Own and prioritise the Claims team backlog, ensuring it remains aligned to product priorities and customer outcomes.
• Turn product initiatives and customer problems into well-defined epics, user stories and acceptance criteria.
• Lead backlog refinement and work closely with Engineering to ensure requirements are understood and ready for development.
• Make day-to-day product decisions that keep delivery moving while protecting the intended customer and business outcomes.
• Work directly with insurers and claims users to understand their processes, pain points and needs.
• Participate in customer discovery, validation and feedback sessions alongside Product Management and UX.
• Collaborate with UX to ensure we’re delivering intuitive, accessible experiences that work for real claims users.
• Support sprint planning and be an active part of the team’s delivery cadence.
• Review and accept completed work against agreed outcomes and acceptance criteria.
• Use customer feedback, data and product insight to identify where we can continuously improve the Claims experience.

That retains the strong customer-champion element of the original PO role , while bringing its sprint planning, refinement and day-to-day decision-making responsibilities much more firmly into the delivery space., AI and automation are increasingly important to the future of our products. You’ll have the opportunity to explore how AI, automation and intelligent workflows can remove friction from insurance processes, support better decision-making and create better experiences for claims teams and their customers. You don’t need to be an AI expert. We’re looking for someone who’s curious about what’s possible, understands the importance of responsible use in insurance, and wants to help turn emerging technology into genuinely useful product experiences., * Company pension
