Senior Product Owner | Commercial Lines Product Development

Optomi, in partnership with a top-tier insurance organization, is seeking a Senior Product Owner to drive strategic product initiatives within the Commercial Lines division. This role sits at the intersection of business and technology—translating strategy into execution while partnering with IT product development teams to deliver high-impact software solutions.

This position offers the opportunity to lead product vision, manage delivery across agile teams, and shape future capabilities for a nationally recognized insurance provider with a nearly 100-year legacy of innovation and financial strength.

Why you’ll love this opportunity:

  • Own product strategy and delivery for high-visibility Commercial Lines initiatives
  • Work directly with business stakeholders and IT development teams to turn ideas into real solutions
  • Influence enterprise product decisions while still being hands-on with user stories, backlog, and delivery

Experience:

  • 5+ years as a Product Owner, Business Analyst, or similar role
  • Experience working with IT/software development teams on product delivery
  • Background in Commercial Lines or P&C insurance (strong plus)
  • Track record of owning backlogs, writing/refining user stories, and driving end-to-end delivery

Skills & Mindset:

  • Strong understanding of product lifecycle, agile methodologies, and software development processes
  • Ability to translate product strategy into actionable requirements and measurable value
  • Data-driven decision-making & economic thinking (cost vs. business value)
  • Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills
  • Comfortable in ambiguity; proactive, collaborative, and outcome-focused

Nice-to-Haves:

  • Experience working directly within regulated industries or insurance product lines
  • Familiarity with product roadmaps, market research, and competitive analysis
  • Experience aligning IT solution delivery with business goals and customer needs

What you’ll do:

  • Translate product vision and strategy into delivery plans across agile development teams
  • Own and prioritize the product backlog, refining user stories and features in alignment with business goals
  • Serve as a product champion and customer proxy—gathering feedback, validating needs, and shaping solutions
  • Lead agile ceremonies, product demos, and ongoing value delivery
  • Collaborate with product managers, business leaders, and IT to ensure delivery of the right solutions at the right time
  • Analyze data to inform decisions, track outcomes, and drive continuous improvement
  • Manage team-level dependencies and communicate delivery impacts when necessary
