As a Product Owner, manage the product backlog, collaborate with developers, define metrics, and champion data-driven product development for a reinsurance platform.
Toucanberry Tech is a UK-based boutique software consultancy delivering high-impact solutions to the financial sector.
You’ll be joining a pivotal project, building a cutting-edge reinsurance platform from the ground up for a global reinsurer in Bermuda.
ROLE:
We are looking for a hungry and hands-on Product Owner to join our dedicated onshore team. This is not a project management role; we need a modern start up Product Owner who lives and breathes the product, sits side-by-side with our developers, and is passionate about building exceptional backend, data-centric solutions.
Key Responsibilities:
- Own and manage the product backlog, translating high-level business requirements into clear, actionable user stories for the development team.
- Collaborate daily with a co-located, onshore squad of engineers, QAs, and designers to ensure seamless delivery and a shared understanding of the product vision.
- Define and analyse metrics to inform the success of the product, using a data-driven approach to guide your decisions.
- Lead product discovery, roadmap planning, and stakeholder management sessions, ensuring alignment between technical execution and business goals.
- Become the subject matter expert for a complex, data-heavy platform, focusing on backend functionality, data flows, and API integrations.
- Champion an iterative, feedback-driven culture, continuously refining the product to deliver maximum value.
Requirements
- Demonstrable experience as a Product Owner in your last two consecutive roles.
- Proven, hands-on experience working directly and exclusively with onshore/co-located development teams.
- Strong technical background with significant experience in data-heavy environments.
- Comfortable with concepts like data stacks, data platforms, API development, and backend architecture.
- Experience working on products with a focus on backend functionality and complex data flows, rather than purely front-end, high-user-volume applications.
- A "modern start-up PO" mindset: you are deeply involved in the 'what' and 'why', and you are used to sitting with developers to solve problems.
- An entrepreneurial approach; perhaps you’ve helped build an MVP, secured funding, or worked in a role where you had to justify product value with clear commercial outcomes.
- A willingness to get "stuck in" – you are proactive, a problem-solver, and ready to tackle challenges head-on.
- Must have worked closely with onsite developers
Desirable Attributes:
- Experience in a technical role (e.g., Software Developer, Data Analyst) before transitioning into product ownership.
- Experience within the financial services or insurance/reinsurance sectors.
- Familiarity with conceptualising and delivering platforms that integrate with third-party systems (e.g., CRMs, payment providers).
Benefits
- Fully Remote
- Outside IR35
- Long term contract
- £500/Day
