The role
The Analytics Product Engineering team at The Fidelis Partnership (TFP) builds and manages a bespoke analytical platform that powers our partnership-driven business model. We combine actuarial expertise with advanced technology to deliver innovative, scalable solutions.
Working closely with the Product Director, the Product Owner plays a key role in delivering and evolving TFP’s risk allocation product, a core underwriting and analytical capability supporting underwriting, portfolio construction, and capital allocation decisions.
