The opportunity 

As a National Product Specialist, you’ll support the end‑to‑end execution of the Retail product lifecycle across governance, disclosure, portfolio insights and system/process delivery. Working closely with Portfolio and National Portfolio Managers, as well as Disclosure and Product Governance teams, you’ll help ensure Retail products are well governed, customer‑aligned, and ready for execution. This is a hands‑on, delivery‑focused role suited to someone who enjoys coordinating detail, partnering across teams and getting outcomes delivered.

Your new role

About you 

  • Experience in insurance across underwriting, product, portfolio, governance, disclosure, or adjacent roles
