Product Owner – General Insurance Transformation Sydney | 2 Positions | 7-Month Contract
About the Opportunity Advance Thinking is seeking two Product Owners to join a major General Insurance transformation program with one of our key enterprise clients.
This is an opportunity to work on a significant insurance technology transformation, helping migrate insurance products and policies from legacy platforms onto a strategic cloud-based insurance platform.
You'll work at the intersection of business, insurance products and technology, helping translate business needs into clear priorities and requirements for delivery teams.
This role would suit an emerging Product Owner, Associate Product Owner or experienced Business Analyst who has started moving into product ownership and is ready to take greater responsibility for defining and prioritising delivery outcomes.
The Role You'll work closely with Product, Business and Technology teams throughout discovery and delivery.
There are two streams of work — one with a stronger broker and business focus, and another focused more heavily on insurance products, technology and platform migration.
Key responsibilities include:
- Support the definition and prioritisation of product requirements and delivery outcomes.
- Work with business and technology stakeholders to understand needs, problems and priorities.
- Facilitate discovery sessions and requirements workshops.
- Develop and refine user stories, acceptance criteria and backlog items.
- Maintain and prioritise the product backlog in partnership with senior Product and Delivery stakeholders.
- Translate business and insurance product requirements into clear outcomes for technology teams.
- Support the migration of insurance products and policies from legacy platforms.
- Work with delivery teams throughout solution design, development and testing.
- Support business acceptance, implementation and readiness activities.
- Identify opportunities to improve customer, broker and business processes.
- Support decision-making by bringing together business, product and technology perspectives.
- Explore opportunities to use AI to accelerate discovery, analysis and delivery activities.
What We're Looking For We're looking for people who understand how to connect business needs with technology delivery and are looking to further develop their Product Owner capability.
Ideally, you'll bring:
- Experience as a Product Owner, Associate Product Owner, Business Analyst or similar delivery role.
- Experience working within Agile technology delivery environments.
- Strong requirements gathering, user story and acceptance criteria capability.
- Experience managing or contributing to product backlogs and prioritisation.
- Strong stakeholder engagement and workshop facilitation skills.
- Ability to work effectively across business, product and technology teams.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving capability.
- Experience supporting complex technology or platform transformation.
Previous
General Insurance experience is strongly preferred, particularly exposure to insurance products, policies, brokers or insurance operations.
Experience with
product or policy migration, data migration or Guidewire would be highly regarded.
Strong candidates from broader Financial Services environments may also be considered where they bring relevant Product Owner, technology delivery and migration experience.
What's on Offer
- Two Opportunities: Join a significant General Insurance transformation program.
- 7-Month Contract: Work across discovery through to technology delivery and implementation.
- Sydney Based: Join a large enterprise transformation environment.
- Product Ownership Exposure: Build your capability across backlog management, prioritisation and Agile delivery.
