Product Owner - Collective Insurance

Our client, a Canadian powerhouse in the Group Insurance and Wealth Management sector, is launching a high-priority strategic initiative. We are looking for a Senior Product Owner to act as the primary nexus between internal integration squads and a global external consulting partner.

This is not a traditional Product Owner role; it is a high-level hybrid position that demands the analytical depth of a Senior Business Analyst. You will be responsible for navigating a complex technological landscape, ensuring that business requirements are translated into impeccable technical documentation to drive large-scale systems integration.

Advantages
Strategic Visibility: Lead a flagship organizational project with significant long-term impact.

Hybrid Flexibility: Enjoy the best of both worlds with a primarily remote schedule and 2 to 4 collaborative sessions per month in Quebec City.

Complex Ecosystem: Work alongside top-tier global consultants and specialized internal dev teams.

Stable Engagement: Long-term mandate providing professional continuity through the upcoming fiscal year.

Modern Culture: Benefit from an Agile environment that prioritizes transparency, positive attitude, and continuous delivery.

Responsibilities
Strategic Convergence: Serve as the central point of contact for internal integration teams and external global partners to ensure alignment on project goals.

Requirement Architecture: Lead the elicitation, analysis, and formalization of complex business needs into a structured, traceable technical framework.

High-Precision Documentation: Produce exhaustive User Stories and functional specifications in English, maintaining a level of detail that minimizes development ambiguity.

Ecosystem Design: Define requirements for sophisticated client interfaces, including reporting suites, interactive dashboards, and specialized display screens.

Delivery Oversight: Support partners throughout the delivery lifecycle, performing quality audits to ensure solutions are innovative and compliant with business standards.

Agile Governance: Facilitate workshops and planning ceremonies, providing the clarity required for accurate resource estimation and technical sequencing.

Qualifications
Senior Expertise: Substantial experience in Product Ownership or Business Analysis within large-scale, complex digital transformations.

Industry Background: Solid understanding of the Insurance or Group Savings domains is highly preferred.

Technical Asset: Previous experience or familiarity with Salesforce ecosystems is a significant advantage.

Communication: Exceptional communication skills with the ability to manage relationships with high-level external vendors.

Analytical Rigor: A natural inclination for detail-oriented research and the ability to produce high-quality documentation autonomously.

Linguistic Profile: Fluency in French and advanced English (essential for documentation and communication with global partners).

Our client operates in Canada. The company takes all reasonable steps to limit the number of positions in Quebec that require knowledge of a language other than French, and only requires it when necessary and its existing bilingual employees are unable to perform these duties. Based on an assessment conducted by our client, it has been determined that this position requires candidates to be fluent in English (both spoken and written). In particular, this position will require the employee to interact with centralized internal departments (e.g., Operations / HR / Finance / Legal / Contracts / Sales) that support the organization in Canada and that do not speak French.

Summary
Location: Quebec City (Hybrid: 2–4 days per month in-office)

Duration: Until March 31, 2027

Work Schedule: 35 hours/week

Industry: Insurance / Financial Services
