Job description

Lead. Deliver. Transform.

Are you a strategic thinker who thrives on execution and loves building better ways of working? We’re looking for a visionary leader to join us as Head of Product Implementation—a role that puts you at the center of how we deliver innovation to market.

In this high-impact position, you won’t just launch products—you’ll lead the transformation of our delivery capabilities. You’ll streamline operations, introduce scalable processes, and explore automation opportunities that drive faster, smarter, and more cost-effective execution.

Why This Role Matters

We’re a leading life insurer with an ambitious roadmap of both traditional and digital offerings. To keep up with the pace of change—and stay ahead of the competition—we need a delivery leader who can bring structure to complexity, reduce friction, and continuously improve how we work.

This is your chance to own the product delivery engine, build a high-performance team, and embed a culture of efficiency, accountability, and innovation across the organization.

What You’ll Do

• Lead the end-to-end product delivery lifecycle—from concept through post-launch stabilization
• Translate product strategy into execution plans, ensuring timely delivery aligned with business and regulatory priorities
• Drive implementation activities including integration, user story development, testing, operational readiness, and system configuration
• Identify and implement process improvements to reduce complexity, improve timelines, and enhance cross-team coordination
• Champion efficiency by standardizing workflows, optimizing resources, and actively exploring opportunities for automation
• Maintain a delivery roadmap aligned with business goals and the broader project portfolio
• Coordinate across functions—Product, Tech, Ops, Legal, Compliance, Distribution, and Marketing—to ensure seamless product rollouts
• Establish strong governance and risk controls to protect delivery quality, budget, and compliance
• Lead and grow a best-in-class team of project managers and business analysts focused on delivery excellence

What You Bring

• Proven leadership experience in life insurance or financial services, with expertise in complex delivery environments
• Strong track record of end-to-end product implementation or development, including both digital and traditional offerings
• Familiarity with life insurance systems (policy admin, digital platforms, etc.) and Singapore’s regulatory environment
• Experience leading efficiency, automation, or process transformation initiatives
• Structured and analytical, with a strong focus on execution, continuous improvement, and scalable growth
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, including executive-level engagement
• Bachelor’s degree in a related field (IT, Finance, Actuarial); PMP, Agile, or Prince2 certification is a plus

If you’re driven by delivery, and passionate about process, we want to hear from you.
