Data Analysis
Requirements
  • Proven end-to-end digital product ownership — you have owned a product from concept to live, with clear accountability for outcomes not just delivery
  • A data-driven mindset — you define metrics before you build, and you use them to make decisions and course-correct
  • Sharp prioritisation discipline — you can make the right call under pressure, say no with confidence, and explain your reasoning clearly
  • Strong technical foundation — comfortable with software development life cycle, agile delivery, solution design, and analytics
  • Proven ability to manage complex stakeholder environments- influencing across legal, compliance, technology, distribution, and global counterparts without direct authority
  • Excellent communication skills — precise, confident, and tailored to your audience whether that's an engineer or a C-suite stakeholder
  • A drive to refine and automate — you look for opportunities to streamline processes, reduce manual touchpoints, and push straight- through processing as a default, not an afterthought
Responsibilities
  • Own your product end to end — from vision and strategy through to delivery, launch, and ongoing measurement
  • Define and maintain a prioritised product roadmap that reflects business value, customer needs, and delivery capacity
  • Write clear user stories and acceptance criteria; manage and groom the backlog with rigour and intent
  • Lead product demos and launches, articulating value clearly to both technical teams and senior business stakeholders
  • Remove blockers, manage cross-functional dependencies, and keep delivery moving at pace
  • Define success metrics upfront for every initiative — and use them to drive decisions throughout delivery, not just at launch
  • Use data and customer insight to validate priorities, challenge assumptions, and identify opportunities for improvement
  • Analyse product performance data to generate actionable insights — using them to drive better processes, improve referral rates, and sharpen prioritisation decisions
  • Apply structured prioritisation frameworks to balance competing demands from business, technology, compliance, and distribution stakeholders
  • Translate complex data into clear, concise narratives that drive alignment and decision-making
Desired Qualifications
  • Experience in insurance or a similarly regulated industry — understanding of how compliance, underwriting, and distribution shape product decisions
  • Familiarity with broker distribution models or digital quote-and-bind journeys
  • Experience working within large global organisations with offshore delivery teams and group-level governance
  • Hands-on experience with AI tools — whether building AI-enabled products, using AI to accelerate discovery, or prototyping with generative AI platforms
  • Experience with agentic AI, prompt design, or AI governance in an enterprise context

Chubb names marine insurance partner and senior leaders to boost global commercial distribution

Chubb has announced an exclusive partnership with Safe Harbor Marinas, making it the preferred insurance provider for over 150 marinas, whilst appointing Ben McGregor and Alex Forman to senior leadership roles in its Overseas General commercial property and casualty operations. The Safe Harbor deal expands Chubb's recreational marine insurance distribution, whilst the leadership appointments aim to strengthen execution in international commercial lines. However, the insurer continues to face challenges from pricing pressure in large accounts, catastrophe costs and litigation expenses. Chubb's narrative projects $48.8 billion revenue and $11.8 billion earnings by 2029, requiring a 6.5% yearly revenue decline but a $1.5 billion earnings increase from current levels of $10.3 billion. Simply Wall St Community members estimate fair value between $290 and $668 per share.

Chubb secures $20B government maritime reinsurance deal to restore Strait of Hormuz shipping

Chubb has secured a $20 billion government-backed maritime reinsurance partnership with the International Development Finance Corporation to resume commercial shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. The world's largest publicly traded property and casualty insurer will lead the programme as conflict between the US, Israel and Iran has disrupted war risk insurance for vessels in the Gulf. The strait handles roughly 20% of global oil flows, making it critical infrastructure for energy markets. WTI crude has climbed from $57.97 per barrel in December 2025 to $64.51 in February 2026 amid the disruption. Chubb operates across 54 countries with a $170.7 billion investment portfolio and posted a record combined ratio of 81.2% in Q4 2025, positioning it to absorb catastrophic risk at scale.
