About The Role
Motability Operations is the UK’s largest leasing company, supporting over 830,000 customers with worry-free mobility solutions. Insurance is a major part of the Motability Scheme lease costs, and the insurance proposition supports our customers whilst being both risk and cost conscious. To ensure we deliver on our Insurance strategy, we are expanding our Insurance Solutions product team and are seeking a skilled, experienced Product Owner.
This role will support the Operations and Proposition Manager in delivering good customer outcomes through the Insurance service delivery, proposition development, and repair cycle.
Your role will focus on executing the product backlog - key objectives will be the prioritisation of user stories, leading on testing and developing features, and ensuring that core deliverables are implemented effectively. You will clarify requirements and stakeholder and user feedback, and you will fundamentally represent the customer voice in all decision-making.
You will coordinate with key stakeholders and report on key measurables to drive success. It is essential that you work closely with other Product Owners within the team and around the business to share learning, drive cross-team collaboration, and develop product culture.
There are a number of key insurance deliverables to achieve in the next 12-24 months, and you will play a key part in ensuring that insurance claims frequency and severity reduces. It is vital that you have a passion for seeking solutions, being agile in your thinking, and can demonstrate the ability to pivot based on the best outcome for our customers and wider business strategy. This role requires a combination of detailed planning, effective execution, and experience of working in an agile method.
In addition to this, the team you will work on is also responsible for ensuring the operations of our Insurance Scheme Partner work for our customers and business. This product role has a strong operational component which is a nuance from a usual Product team. Above all else, Insurance Solutions is a small team, and so you must be a collaborative team player who thrives in a busy, fast-paced environment.
