Product Owner I/II

This is a grade 16/17 range posting. Your background and qualifications will be evaluated against the skills and experiences required for the position

Description

We’re looking for a Product Owner to join the USRM Frontier policy migration team and help modernize Personal Lines insurance by migrating policy capabilities to our new PolicyCenter platform. In this high-impact role, you’ll work at the intersection of business, operations, and technology—owning the roadmap and backlog, translating stakeholder needs into clear, delivery-ready work for an Agile squad, and driving alignment to deliver measurable migration outcomes across the portfolio.

Core responsibilities:

• Partner with stakeholders to shape the product vision and priorities; communicate direction and decisions to the squad and key partners.
• Own the product backlog—prioritize work, write clear user stories, and define acceptance criteria.
• Define and track product outcomes, contributing to assigned KPIs for products of varying scope and complexity.
• Lead prioritization for quarterly/PI planning; align stakeholders on scope, timelines, and expectations.
• Participate in Agile ceremonies (planning, standups, demos, retrospectives) to maintain transparency and delivery momentum.
• Work day-to-day with the squad(s) to clarify requirements, remove roadblocks, and keep delivery aligned to product strategy.
• Maintain a product roadmap based on strategy and stakeholder input; communicate expected value by iteration and adjust as capacity or priorities change.
• Evaluate feasibility, trade-offs, and cost of delay for change requests to inform sequencing and investment decisions.
• Incorporate regulatory, compliance, and industry constraints into prioritization; coordinate with peer squads to align portfolio priorities.
• Monitor product health and viability, balance near-term delivery with long-term efficiency and cost.
• Support customer-driven design and usability testing; use market and industry insights to strengthen product positioning.

The ideal candidate will:

• Translate business intent into delivery-ready user stories and acceptance criteria.
• Demonstrate strong product judgment—prioritize work, align stakeholders to outcomes, and make clear trade-offs.
• Bring Personal Lines insurance knowledge (preferred) and connect decisions to underwriting, rating, and servicing impacts.
• Operate effectively in ambiguity and shifting priorities; communicate proactively, build trust across business and technology teams, and push work through obstacles.
• Guidewire PolicyCenter and policy data migration experience are a plus but not required.
