Our mission is to deliver an exceptional insurance experience through innovative technology, unparalleled customer service, and a comprehensive suite of products. Our vision is to be the premier global provider of insurance solutions and redefine the insurance industry.

Orion180 is proud to call three vibrant cities home. Our headquarters on Florida’s stunning Space Coast in Melbourne offers an exceptional quality of life, with affordable housing, excellent transportation, and close proximity to major cities like Orlando, Tampa, and Miami. Our Irving, Texas, office places us in a dynamic center of culture, business, and entertainment, keeping us closely connected to innovation and growth. Our Draper, Utah, location, nestled in the heart of the Salt Lake Valley, connects us to a rapidly growing tech ecosystem and provides access to the outdoor lifestyle and natural beauty the region is known for.

We are actively seeking a Product Owner to join our growing Innovation & Technology team.

In this role, you will be the subject-matter expert for a specific value stream, owning the translation of business requirements into well-defined user stories that development teams can execute. You will work closely with business stakeholders to capture requirements, with Tech Leads to make sure technical completeness, and with delivery pods to drive high-quality execution. The Product Owner is accountable for backlog clarity, ordering, acceptance and project quality. Delivery leads and project managers support delivery execution, cross-team coordination, and timeline management for cross-organization work. This role reports to the Value Stream Owner.

HOW WE WORK:

You will work in a self-contained Value Stream pod that includes assigned development and QA resources, a Delivery Lead, Product Owner, and Value Stream Owner. Some cross-organization initiatives may also include support from a shared Project Manager for coordination across teams. The Value Stream primarily uses Scrum practices with a hybrid delivery approach when needed.

WHAT YOU’LL DO:

Requirements Gathering: Engage with business stakeholders to capture detailed requirements. Understand the business context, compliance implications, and user impact of every request.
Story Writing: Translate business requirements into clear, actionable user stories with specific, testable acceptance criteria. Make sure stories include the "what" and "why" so technical teams can determine the "how."
Backlog Management: Maintain and prioritize the team backlog in Azure DevOps. Make sure stories are groomed, well-defined, and sequenced by business value.
Technical Collaboration: Partner with Tech Leads during story review to confirm technical completeness. If the Tech Lead identifies architecture implications, flag the story for architecture review.
Acceptance & Validation: Accept completed work against acceptance criteria (Level 1 validation). For bug fixes that impacted stakeholders, follow up post-deployment for stakeholder confirmation (Level 2). For new external-facing features, compliance changes, and financial calculations, conduct formal UAT with stakeholders (Level 3).
Compliance Tracking: For compliance-flagged work, confirm filing dates, effective dates, and regulatory deadlines. Build timelines backward from hard deadlines and track throughout the delivery cycle.
Stakeholder Communication: Provide progress updates, sprint demos, and release communications to business stakeholders. Maintain transparency on delivery status and timeline changes.
Continuous Improvement: Pursue Product Owner certification if not already held. Attend training to sharpen requirements gathering, story writing, and backlog management skills.

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR:

Education:

Bachelor's degree or equivalent insurance industry or software product experience.

Experience

Analytical Skills: Strong ability to dig into business processes, ask the right questions, and produce precise requirements.
Documentation: Excellent written documentation skills. Ability to produce clear, detailed user stories and business requirements documents.
Communication: Proven ability to engage stakeholders, clarify priorities, and gain alignment across business and technical teams.
Tools: Hands-on experience with Azure DevOps or similar agile tools for backlog management.
Insurance Knowledge: Familiarity with insurance operations, products, or technology is strongly preferred.
Technical Curiosity: Comfortable learning new systems, APIs, and data flows to become the domain expert for your stream.
CSPO, PSPO, or SAFe Product Owner certification preferred.

ROLE LEVELS: This role is hired at two levels based on experience and scope:

Sr Product Owner: Owns the full requirements lifecycle for a value stream including stakeholder management, acceptance authority, and mentoring POs.

Minimum 5+ years in Product Owner, Product Manager, Business Analyst, or similar roles.
Demonstrated ability to manage complex, multi-stakeholder requirements across regulatory and technical domains.
Serves as the final quality gate for all stories entering sprints (Definition of Ready authority).

Minimum 2+ years in Product Owner, Product Manager, Business Analyst, or similar roles.

US Market: Orion180 prices IPO below target range, raises $240 million.

US Market: Orion180 prices IPO below target range, raises $240 million. , ETMarkets.com Last Updated: Sep 18, 2026, 12:58:00 PM IST Orion180 Insurance raised $240 million through its US IPO after pricing 20 million shares at $12 each, below its targeted range of $15-$17. The insurer is set to list on Nasdaq as the US IPO pipeline gains momentum. Orion180 Insurance priced its U.S. initial public offering below its targeted range on Thursday, raising $240 million as insurers join a growing pipeline of companies seeking to tap investor demand during the fall listing season. The Melbourne, Florida-based insurer sold 20 million shares at $12 each, below its indicated price range of $15 to $17. As on 18 Sep 2026, 01:30 AM IST S&P 500 top losers. DaVita 183.09(-5.56%) The IPO comes as the U.S. equity market's fall issuance calendar begins to gain momentum despite early macroeconomic headwinds. Several insurance companies and other high-profile candidates are preparing to enter the public markets, potentially providing a boost to new-issue activity. CVC-backed Bamboo Insurance launched its roadshow this week, seeking to raise as much as $700 million. Hub International, backed by Hellman & Friedman, confidentially filed for an IPO in June. Founded in 2018 by Kenneth Gregg, Orion180 provides excess and surplus lines homeowners insurance across 14 U.S. states. Its key markets include Texas, California and Florida. Orion180 and Bamboo Insurance have highlighted relatively low loss ratios, which the companies attribute to their underwriting platforms, while both businesses have also recorded rapid growth, Reuters reported, citing Renaissance Capital research. However, investors have closely scrutinised insurance companies entering the public markets in recent years. Some insurers have faced pressure to demonstrate the sustainability of their underwriting performance and growth after going public. RBC Capital Markets, UBS Investment Bank and Raymond James are serving as lead book-running managers for Orion180's offering. The company is expected to begin trading on the Nasdaq on Friday under the ticker symbol "OIG." (Disclaimer: Recommendations, suggestions, views, and opinions given by experts are their own.

Orion180 secures fourth consecutive Inc. 5000 and IBA Top Employer honors.

Orion180 secures fourth consecutive Inc. 5000 and IBA Top Employer honors. Dual recognition connects three-year revenue growth with continued investment in Orion180 employees. MELBOURNE, Fla., Aug. 25, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - Orion180 Insurance Group Inc. ("Orion180"), a leading provider of flexible, customer-centric homeowners and flood insurance solutions, today announced two national honors that reflect a shared story: rapid business growth powered by continued investment in its people. Orion180 earned a place on the 2026 Inc. 5000 list of America's fastest-growing private companies and was named a 2026 Top Insurance Employer by Insurance Business America ("IBA"). Orion180's three-year revenue growth ranked in the top 3 among property and casualty insurance companies on the 2026 Inc. 5000 and improved its overall position on the list by nearly 17% from 2025. Published annually by Inc., the Inc. 5000 ranks the fastest-growing private companies in the U.S. based on three-year revenue growth. "These awards measure different areas of the business, but together they show how Orion180 is growing," said Ken Gregg, CEO of Orion180. "We're building around the belief that insurance should be clear, transparent, and human-centric. At the same time, delivering on that takes talented people who challenge convention, move with purpose, and stay close to the needs of our agents and policyholders." Over the past year, Orion180 broadened the footprint of its FLEX Home Insurance and Residential Private Flood Insurance offerings and launched DP Landlord Insurance, extending its range of solutions for property owners. The IBA recognition captures the other side of that growth story: the people building the company and creating the relationship with agents and insureds. IBA's Top Insurance Employers program recognizes supportive, engaging, and rewarding workplaces across the insurance industry. Orion180 earned strong reviews from employees based on award criteria that included an anonymous employee survey evaluating benefits, compensation, workplace culture, and employee development opportunities. Orion180 supports employees through recognition initiatives, training, continuing education, flexible work options, wellness resources, and bonus programs designed to help employees sharpen their skills, take on new challenges, and advance within the company. "Growth should create opportunity for the people driving it," Gregg said. "At Orion180, that means giving employees opportunities to build skills, take on greater responsibility and be recognized for their contributions. Inc. 5000 recognizes the company's growth. IBA recognizes the people contributing to it. We're proud to earn both." About Orion180 Insurance Orion180 Insurance Group Inc. (Orion180) is a founder-led technology-focused, high growth, high-margin specialty insurance group delivering innovative insurance solutions with a growing footprint across the United States.
