Toucanberry Tech is a UK-based boutique software consultancy delivering high-impact solutions to the financial sector. You’ll be joining a pivotal project, building a cutting-edge reinsurance platform from the ground up for a global reinsurer in Bermuda. Role We are looking for a hungry and hands‑on Product Owner to join our dedicated onshore team. This is not a project management role; we need a modern startup Product Owner who lives and breathes the product, sits side‑by‑side with our developers, and is passionate about building exceptional backend, data‑centric solutions. Key Responsibilities

Own and manage the product backlog, translating high‑level business requirements into clear, actionable user stories for the development team. Collaborate daily with a co‑located, onshore squad of engineers, QAs, and designers to ensure seamless delivery and a shared understanding of the product vision. Define and analyse metrics to inform the success of the product, using a data‑driven approach to guide your decisions. Lead product discovery, roadmap planning, and stakeholder management sessions, ensuring alignment between technical execution and business goals. Become the subject matter expert for a complex, data‑heavy platform, focusing on backend functionality, data flows, and API integrations. Champion an iterative, feedback‑driven culture, continuously refining the product to deliver maximum value.

Requirements

Demonstrable experience as a Product Owner in your last two consecutive roles. Proven, hands‑on experience working directly and exclusively with onshore/co‑located development teams. Strong technical background with significant experience in data‑heavy environments. Comfortable with concepts like data stacks, data platforms, API development, and backend architecture. Experience working on products with a focus on backend functionality and complex data flows, rather than purely front‑end, high‑user‑volume applications. A "modern start‑up PO" mindset: you are deeply involved in the 'what' and 'why', and you are used to sitting with developers to solve problems. An entrepreneurial approach; perhaps you’ve helped build an MVP, secured funding, or worked in a role where you had to justify product value with clear commercial outcomes. A willingness to get "stuck in" – you are proactive, a problem‑solver, and ready to tackle challenges head‑on. Must have worked closely with onsite developers.

Desirable Attributes

Experience in a technical role (e.g., Software Developer, Data Analyst) before transitioning into product ownership. Experience within the financial services or insurance/reinsurance sectors. Familiarity with conceptualising and delivering platforms that integrate with third‑party systems (e.g., CRMs, payment providers).
