About The Position

Modular Solutions is seeking skilled and detail-oriented Product Owners to contribute to the ongoing enhancement of our insurance platform. This posting will be used to fill multiple Product Owner opportunities, with each successful candidate aligned to a specific product stream based on experience, business priorities, and team needs. Product ownership areas may include finance, platform migrations, underwriting and claims, broker stakeholder workflows, including broker portal functionality, email/communications, and related insurance operations capabilities. The ideal candidates will bring a strong understanding of insurance operations and agile product delivery, with the ability to translate complex business processes into clear, actionable requirements. Whether focused on financial workflows, customer and broker-facing experiences, migration readiness, or underwriting and claims capabilities, you will play a key role in bridging the gap between stakeholders and development teams to ensure business needs are clearly defined, prioritized, and delivered effectively. We are an AI-enabled team and use AI tools to support product configuration, documentation, research, and workflow efficiency. You don’t need to be an AI expert, but you should be comfortable using AI tools responsibly and applying sound judgment when reviewing and validating outputs.
