As a proxy product owner, you will collaborate closely with product managers, engineers, architects, and cross-functional teams to define requirements, refine backlogs, and guide delivery in an agile environment.

• Translate business needs into clear user stories, acceptance criteria, and technical specifications.
• Act as a pseudo product owner for scrum teams; manage backlog prioritization and support sprint ceremonies.
• Facilitate agile and SAFe ceremonies, including PI Planning, backlog refinement, and retrospectives.
• Partner with architects and engineers to ensure technical feasibility, scalability, and system integration.
• Collaborate with UX and QA teams to deliver high-quality, user-friendly, and compliant solutions.
• Research and apply emerging technologies, especially AI (GenAI, Agentic AI), to drive innovation.
• Ensure delivery in cloud-native environments, considering performance, scale, and security.
• Track adoption, usage, and performance metrics to measure ROI and report to leadership.
• Maintain compliance with enterprise governance, security, and regulatory standards.

What You'll Bring:

• 4+ years of professional experience with a bachelor's degree; advanced degree (MBA, MS) a plus.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and critical thinking skills.
• Excellent written and verbal communication; ability to work effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Proven knowledge of product management disciplines (scope, schedule, budget, risk, quality).
• Experience working with Agile methodologies (Scrum, SAFe).
• Proficiency with MS Office and collaboration tools such as Jira and Confluence.

Preferred / Desired Skills

• SAFe POPM certification or equivalent Agile certification.
• Experience in insurance, financial services, or enterprise technology solutions.
• Familiarity with Generative AI and Agentic AI use cases and their application to product workflows.
• Understanding of cloud computing best practices, APIs, and data integration.
• Exposure to modern engineering practices (CI/CD pipelines, DevOps, Test-Driven Development).
• Strong ability to manage multiple priorities, adapt quickly, and drive cross-functional collaboration.
