Are you a hands-on Product Owner who thrives in fast-paced environments? Do you love building meaningful digital products and turning ideas into impactful solutions?

We're looking for a Product Owner to drive the evolution of our digital insurance platform, building products that simplify insurance, automate complex workflows, and help more Canadians find the right coverage.

This is not a roadmap management role. We're looking for a builder who enjoys getting into the details, writing clear specifications, working closely with engineers, and shipping high-quality software quickly. You're passionate about building software products and naturally curious about how great web applications are designed, built, and continuously improved.

We’re growing fast and looking for a talented Product Owner to help us shape the future of insurance by building products that customers love and teams rely on. To date, we’ve helped over 500,000 Canadians shop for their home and car insurance with an average of 4.9 stars in online reviews.

What will you be responsible for?

Identify opportunities to automate internal processes and reduce manual work across the business

What type of person are you?

You ship. You are not satisfied with planning, you get things across the finish line and take ownership of delivery from start to end. You thrive in ambiguity. When the process is unclear or information is incomplete, you ask the right questions, make reasonable assumptions, and keep moving. You communicate with precision. Developers, designers, and business stakeholders always know where things stand because you keep everyone aligned without over-communicating. You use data to decide. When something is not working, you look at the numbers first before jumping to conclusions. You keep it simple. When faced with a complex problem, your instinct is to find the most straightforward solution, not the most sophisticated one.

Do you have what it takes?

4+ years of experience as a Product Owner or similar role in a fast-paced, execution-driven environment Love web apps — Experience building modern web applications with complex user workflows and multiple system integrations. Strong execution mindset — you turn a defined outcome and break it into clear, correctly-sequenced, buildable specs that a development team can execute — even when the starting point is ambiguous. Excellent communicator — written and verbal — able to align developers, designers, and business stakeholders with clarity and confidence Strong technical fluency — comfortable discussing APIs, frontend, backend logic, and data models with engineers to write precise specs and make informed decisions without writing code Hands-on approach to validating workflows, including testing and replicating real-world processes in legacy systems Actively use AI tools (Cursor, Claude, Figma AI, Gemini, and others) to accelerate your workflow and increase output quality
