Product Owner - Insurance Background - Ireland - REMOTE WORKING
At Deloitte, we make an impact that matters for our clients, our people, our profession, and in the wider society by delivering the solutions and insights they need to address their most complex business challenges.
AMS is a global workforce solutions partner committed to creating inclusive, dynamic, and future-ready workplaces. We help organisations adapt, grow, and thrive in an ever-evolving world by building, shaping, and optimising diverse talent strategies.
We partner with Deloitte Ireland to support their contingent recruitment processes. Acting as an extension of their recruitment teams, we connect them with skilled interim and temporary professionals, fostering workplaces where everyone can contribute and succeed.
On behalf of Deloitte, AMS are looking for Product Owners for 6-month contracts (scope for extension) on a remote-working basis. Candidates must complete the work from within Ireland; rare Dublin office attendance may be required (especially first/last day).
Purpose of the role:
This is a high-profile Product Owner role within a large, complex US insurance organisation undergoing significant digital transformation. Sitting at the heart of a major change programme, you will play a critical role in shaping and delivering strategic initiatives while also supporting core BAU platforms that underpin the business. Acting as the key conduit between senior business stakeholders and agile delivery squads, you will translate complex business needs into clear, prioritised backlogs and drive value-led delivery across enterprise-scale insurance products. This role offers exposure to senior, international stakeholders, meaningful influence over product direction, and the opportunity to deliver tangible outcomes within a fast-paced, transformation-driven environment.
What you'll do:
Elaborate and maintain a prioritised backlog of requirements in collaboration with business SMEs and key stakeholders.
Own the end-to-end lifecycle of requirements, from design through build, testing, deployment and go-live.
Lead and manage an agile development squad of 6-10 people, ensuring delivery quality, pace and alignment to business priorities.
Balance transformation initiatives with BAU delivery, depending on assignment (roles available across both).
Communicate effectively with US-based stakeholders, managing expectations, priorities and delivery timelines.
Apply strong product vision and value-based prioritisation to ensure outcomes align with business objectives.
Work closely with wider delivery teams including BAs, developers, testers and delivery managers.
The skills you'll need:
Proven experience as a Product Owner working in agile delivery environments.
Proven insurance industry experience (essential).
Demonstrated ability to manage and prioritise complex backlogs in fast-moving delivery teams.
Experience leading and working with cross-functional development squads.
Excellent stakeholder management, communication and decision-making skills.
Comfortable operating across both digital transformation and BAU delivery models.
Experience working with international clients; flexibility to occasionally support extended hours (e.g. 12-8pm one day per week, as required).
Strong organisational skills with a focus on quality, delivery and value.
