Job Description:

Product Owner – Risk/Analytics London (Hybrid) Up to £110,000 + bonus

We’re working with a specialist insurance business building out a genuinely interesting analytics platform at the core of how they underwrite risk, manage portfolios and allocate capital.

What you’ll be doing

  • Owning and prioritising the product backlog for a core analytics platform
  • Turning messy, complex business requirements into clear, usable work for engineers
  • Working closely with underwriting, actuarial and portfolio teams to understand how they actually use the product
  • Partnering with engineers and tech leads to make sure work is properly defined and deliverable
  • Driving backlog refinement, sprint planning and release coordination
  • Acting as the day‑to‑day bridge between technical and non‑technical stakeholders
  • Making sure what gets delivered does what it’s supposed to do

What they’re looking for

  • Experience as a Product Owner or Business Analyst on data or analytics‑led products
  • Some understanding of insurance or financial services (reinsurance experience is a big plus, but not essential)
  • Comfortable working with engineers and talking through data, APIs and workflows
  • Able to write clear user stories, acceptance criteria and business rules
  • Strong stakeholder skills
  • Familiar with Agile/Scrum ways of working
  • Ideally some exposure to SQL or working with structured data

Why it’s worth a conversation

  • The product is central to how the business makes money, not a side project
  • You’ll be working directly with domain experts including underwriters, actuaries and portfolio managers
  • Proper ownership of backlog and direction, not just delivery admin
  • A good mix of business complexity and technical challenge
