Product Owner

Description
Level of position offered will be based on skills and experience at manager discretion.
Product Owner III - Billing & Payments, US Retail Markets Servicing Platform
Join Liberty Mutual's US Retail Markets Servicing Solutions portfolio as a Product Owner III owning billing and payments - the capabilities our service representatives and independent agents rely on every day to answer billing questions, take payments and adjust how customers pay.
Billing touches nearly every customer conversation. When a representative or agent can resolve a payment question quickly and confidently, the whole experience feels easier - for them and for the customer. You will own the product that makes that possible, inside the internal servicing platform used across our employee and independent agent channels.
This is a high-impact role at a pivotal moment. Liberty Mutual is converging its Direct and Agency businesses onto a single new billing platform, and the servicing experience you own is the sole front end for it. You will lead a well-established product with real momentum - more than $1 million in annualized efficiency savings already delivered - while shaping how billing servicing grows as the new platform scales nationwide.
Why this role matters

• Clear ownership: You are the single product owner for billing and payments servicing, with a direct line to the more than 2,000 employees and tens of thousands of independent agents who use what you build daily.
• Critical to daily operations: Billing inquiry and payment servicing are among the highest-volume interactions in our servicing ecosystem.
• Strategic modernization: Your work enables two major enterprise programs - the move to a unified billing platform and the broader modernization of our policy systems - while retiring legacy applications along the way.
• Measurable impact: Every capability is valued before and after launch, so the results of your work are always visible.
• Cross-functional leadership: Partner closely with Finance, Billing Operations, enterprise program teams, engineering, user experience (UX), research, analytics and architecture.

What you'll own
You will own the end-to-end billing and payments experience within the servicing platform, including:

• Billing inquiry and account visibility for employees and independent agents
• Payments, including secure, tokenized phone payments that keep card and bank data out of representatives' hands
• Billing option changes such as due dates, autopay, payment frequency and saved payment methods
• Account servicing actions such as payment scheduling, reinstatement and billing adjustments
• A multi-year roadmap that sequences the migration from legacy billing systems onto the new unified platform
• Production health, including intake and prioritization of billing issues in partnership with application programming interface (API) and data teams
• Key performance indicator (KPI) definition and product health monitoring

Key responsibilities

• Set and communicate a clear product vision and roadmap aligned to the USRM Billing Modernization program, PCUIP and portfolio goals.
• Own and prioritize the backlog against measurable outcomes such as handle time saved, systems retired and states live.
• Partner with Finance, the TOBE and PCUIP program teams, Billing Operations, Analytics, UX, Architecture and Engineering to deliver capabilities that are reusable across personas and channels.
• Work with Research to ideate with the employees and agents who use the product and validate solutions before they ship.
• Use data to size opportunities, validate impact and guide decisions.
• Lead alignment across teams and portfolios, surface dependencies early and communicate trade-offs clearly.
• Balance program-driven delivery with the production support and compliance work that keeps billing running well today.
• Take initiative. Spot gaps before they become blockers, pull the right people together and keep things moving without waiting to be asked.

Ideal candidate must have

• 5+ years of product management or product owner experience with Agile delivery teams and advanced knowledge of Agile practices, as typically acquired through a bachelor's degree in a relevant field and 7 years in business, technology or consulting. Master's degree preferred.
• Demonstrated experience owning the end-to-end product lifecycle - vision, roadmap, backlog and KPIs - with the business expertise to set clear priorities and weigh business value.
• Strong stakeholder management: builds relationships and influence across organizational boundaries, and leads varied audiences through complex ideas and designs to consensus.
• Data-driven decision making: defines product KPIs and measures outcomes with analytics, paired with an experimental mindset that drives innovation amid uncertainty.
• Comfortable in ambiguous, high-complexity environments; makes decisions under uncertainty and can explain the trade-offs.
• A go-getter who is curious by nature and not afraid to jump in, ask questions and figure things out.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including presenting to senior leadership.
