We are seeking a Life and Annuities (L&A) Product Strategist to join our Product Management team.

• Lead the development and communication of detailed product requirements and acceptance criteria.
• Analyze the competitive landscape and identify key gaps and opportunities for EIS offerings.
• Collaborate with engineering, architecture, UX/UI design, sales, and customer success teams throughout the product lifecycle.
• Gather, synthesize, and leverage market intelligence, customer feedback, and usage data to inform product direction.
• Engage directly with clients and internal stakeholders to understand needs, translate them into roadmap initiatives, and drive consensus.
• Partner with product marketing and sales enablement to define positioning, messaging, and value propositions.
• Support market-facing activities through product expertise and sales collateral development.

Skills, Knowledge & Expertise

• 10+ years of professional experience, including:
  • 5+ years in the insurance industry (preferably Life and Annuities).
• 5+ years working with insurance technology platforms or transformation initiatives.
• 4+ years of direct exposure to Life and Annuity processes and systems.
• Demonstrated success defining product strategy and launching complex software products or platforms (ideally SaaS or cloud-native).
• Strong understanding of Policy Administration Systems (PAS), billing, claims, cash/treasury management, or investment accounting within insurance.
• Exceptional strategic thinking, decision-making, and analytical skills.
• Ability to develop business cases, size market opportunities, and prioritize initiatives based on data-driven insights.
• Excellent communication, presentation, and facilitation skills.
• Proven ability to influence and build consensus across distributed, global, cross-functional teams.
• Self-starter with a proactive attitude and strong sense of ownership.
• Comfortable balancing strategic planning with day-to-day tactical execution.
