Recommend and direct investment prioritization across the portfolio, balancing regional demand, global platform investments, third-party solutions, and platform modernization within the approved annual Placement Technology budget.

Direct the ring-fenced Placement Product Engineering team and partner with Placement Data to build and run placement data domains to the standard required for AI-enabled broker capabilities. Run a disciplined co-creation model with Marsh Risk business partners, manage delivery risks and dependencies, and build executive-ready communications including SteerCo packs, decision memos, dashboards, risk reporting, and value-realization narratives. Align senior stakeholders across global, regional, practice, product line, and segment leadership; communicate trade-offs clearly and drive shared accountability for outcomes. Represent Marsh placement product capabilities externally and partner with insurance carriers and technology vendors to onboard integrations and govern ongoing integration quality and change management. What you need to have: Typically 12+ years of experience spanning product leadership, digital solution delivery, enterprise technology, or strategy within complex, regulated environments; significant experience in insurance brokerage/insurtech or adjacent financial services. Deep domain fluency in insurance placement, including submission-to-bind workflows, carrier/market negotiation, facility and program structures, binder issuance, policy servicing, and brokerage operating realities across Retail, Wholesale, and Specialty. Proven track record leading large-scale, cross-functional product programs from discovery through scaled deployment, with measurable outcomes and audited value realization. Demonstrated ability to align complex, multi-geography senior stakeholder groups. Command of modern product management practices, including outcome-driven roadmapping, OKRs, discovery, backlog management, agile/iterative delivery, adoption planning, and product telemetry. Experience leading and developing globally distributed product and design teams, with strong people leadership, performance management, and talent development capability. Strong commercial acumen, including owning product business cases, managing investment portfolios, and linking product decisions to NOI, revenue, growth, and cost efficiency. Exceptional executive communication skills to distill complex programs into clear, decision-ready narratives for COO/President-level audiences. What makes you stand out: Experience with placement technology platforms and their integration architectures. Experience leading product strategies across multiple insurance product lines, including Property, Casualty, Specialty, FinPro, Cyber, Marine, and Aviation. Familiarity with Lloyd’s/London market digital trading infrastructure and carrier integration patterns for US and international markets.

Hands-on experience using modern AI-assisted tools to accelerate prototyping, discovery, and iteration with business stakeholders. Knowledge of pricing/rating concepts, fiduciary and billing workflows, and post-bind policy servicing as potential future scope areas.
