* Collect and incorporate stakeholder and user feedback to inform backlog prioritisation and product improvements.
* Monitor product dashboards, usage metrics, and operational data to identify opportunities for enhancement.
* Ensure the product delivers maximum customer and business value, meeting needs and expectations.
What You Will Bring:
* Experience in Product Ownership or Management within digital or tech‑enabled insurance or financial services.
* Strong stakeholder management skills, with the ability to align cross‑functional teams around shared goals.
* Proven experience managing product backlogs in agile environments, facilitating ceremonies, and coordinating teams.
* Familiarity with agile frameworks such as Scrum, Kanban, or SAFe, and tools like ADO, JIRA, or Confluence.
* Ability to work collaboratively with technical and business stakeholders to clarify requirements and enable delivery.
* Proactive approach to identifying delivery risks, issues, and opportunities for process improvement.
* Keen interest in developing product management skills, with a focus on strategy and roadmap planning.
* Adaptability to evolving product scope based on changing business needs and priorities.
