Description
Are you an experienced Product Owner? If you’re proficient in Agile, expert in managing a squad of engineers and are data driven, this could be the role for you. We’re looking for Product Owners to join AXA Retail’s Partnerships Product team for a 12-month fixed term contract. Two positions are available. One will focus on the design and delivery of a new van insurance product and the other a large-scale product migration to AXA Retail. Please indicate if you have a preference.
You’ll be responsible for executing our vision, creating and delivering your own product roadmaps.

At AXA we work smart, empowering our people to balance their time between home and the office in a way that works best for them, their team and our customers. You'll work at least 40% of your week away from home, moving to the majority of your working week from September 2025. Away from home means either attendance at one of our office locations, visiting clients or attending industry events. You’ll spend time in our London office every fortnight.

* Clearly define product vision and strategy that aligns with business goals and guides development efforts.

* Ability to drive and deliver change.
* Portfolio backlog management and prioritisation skills.
* Data and analytics expertise.
