- Stakeholder Collaboration & Leadership:

- Facilitate planning sessions, retrospectives, and stakeholder workshops to ensure alignment and clear communication.
- Effectively communicate department product strategy, priorities, progress, and risks to stakeholders at all levels of the organization.
- Agile Framework Adoption & Execution:
- Champion and drive the team's adoption of the company's modern, agile-like delivery framework.
- Promote a culture of iterative progress, continuous feedback, and accountability.
- Work with Scrum Masters and development leads to ensure the team is focused, productive, and successfully delivering value each cycle.
What you bring:- Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience required, with a focus on Actuarial Science, Mathematics, Information Technology, Insurance, or a related field.
- 4-7+ years of experience in a role such as Product Owner, Product Manager, Business Analyst, or a similar process-oriented business role within a large, complex organization.
- Proven business acumen with a deep understanding of core business processes, preferably within the financial services or insurance industry.
