As a Business Product Owner within our Reinsurance practice, you will play a key role in shaping and delivering innovative underwriting technology solutions for our clients.

Working at the intersection of reinsurance business processes, technology, and consulting, you will translate complex business requirements into practical digital solutions and drive the successful implementation of our Reinsurance Workbench.

You will collaborate closely with clients, business stakeholders, product teams, and technology specialists to ensure our solutions create measurable business value and support the digital transformation of the reinsurance industry.

  • Act as a key interface between client stakeholders, underwriting experts, business analysts, and technology teams
  • Own and prioritise product and project backlogs, balancing client requirements, business value, technical dependencies, and delivery timelines
  • Drive functional solution design, ensuring alignment between standard product capabilities and client-specific requirements
  • Coordinate business activities throughout the implementation lifecycle, including solution design, testing, user acceptance testing (UAT), and deployment
  • Define acceptance criteria and ensure delivered solutions meet business requirements and operational needs
  • Support go-live preparation, user adoption, change management, and post-implementation improvements
  • Contribute to product roadmap development by identifying opportunities for innovation, standardisation, and reusable solutions
  • Support continuous improvement initiatives and help shape the future of digital reinsurance underwriting solutions

  • University degree in Business Administration, Economics, Information Systems, Computer Science, or a related field
  • Relevant professional experience in reinsurance, insurance, consulting, business analysis, or product ownership
  • Strong understanding of reinsurance underwriting processes and related business requirements; knowledge of claims or technical accounting is an advantage
  • Experience in translating business requirements into functional specifications and technology-driven solutions.
  • Familiarity with agile methodologies, product backlog management, and software delivery processes
  • Experience with insurance or reinsurance technology implementations, digital transformation, or process optimisation is a strong advantage
  • Strong analytical, conceptual, and problem-solving skills with a structured and solution-oriented approach
  • Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills, with the ability to bridge business and technology teams
  • Proactive, collaborative, and comfortable taking ownership in a dynamic, international consulting environment
  • Fluent English communication skills; additional languages are an advantage
  • Must have the legal right to work in the UK - Visa sponsorship is not available for this position
Location: London-based, with flexibility for client site work and global travel.

  • A unique opportunity to shape the UK office through participating in internal initiatives (CSR, DE&I, recruitment, marketing).
  • As part of our onboarding, take part in our two-week New Employee Training (NET), an engaging programme with interactive, level-specific modules on Synpulse, processes, tools, communication, and role-specific skills, designed to integrate you into the team and set you up for success.
  • Continual and comprehensive learning and development through our Academy Program.
