Ready to make your mark in the Commercial and Rural Insurance product management space? Bring your product craft and shape insurance products end to end, influencing outcomes across a broad ecosystem

As a Suncorp Product Manager, you will shape and guide the evolution of Commercial and Rural insurance products across their lifecycle, driving outcomes through strong product leadership, collaboration and disciplined governance.

This role goes beyond technical product maintenance, it requires a strategic product leader who can orchestrate outcomes across our stakeholders, distribution and technology to deliver sustainable insurance solutions.

These portfolios operate in a regulated, intermediated environment and require strong product management discipline, governance capability and the ability to balance customer needs, commercial outcomes and risk.

While experience in Commercial and/or Rural Insurance is advantageous, we are equally interested in Product Managers from broader insurance or financial services backgrounds who bring deep experience operating in complex, regulated product environments.

The Role

As a Product Manager, you will manage the end to end lifecycle of products, from discovery, strategy and design through to delivery, governance and ongoing monitoring and maintenance.

You will operate across the product ecosystem, ensuring alignment between commercial objectives, customer outcomes, regulatory requirements and operational execution.

This role suits a Product Manager who:

· Thinks systemically about products and their downstream impacts

· Is comfortable operating across multiple stakeholders and dependencies

· Brings structure, clarity and momentum to complex initiatives

· Thrives in regulated, risk-aware environments

 

What You’ll Be Responsible For

· Owning and managing products across their full lifecycle in line with governance, compliance and risk frameworks

· Translating customer, broker and business needs into clear product strategies, roadmaps and enhancements

· Coordinating inputs across underwriting, pricing, claims, legal, risk, operations and third-party providers to deliver cohesive outcomes

· Leading product governance activities, including preparation of papers, forums and committee engagement

· Maintaining and evolving policy wordings, endorsements and intermediary arrangements, with appropriate legal, risk and reinsurance oversight

· Identifying opportunities to simplify products, improve customer and broker experience, and enhance product efficiency

· Actively contributing to a strong product management community across Suncorp NZ, sharing capability and lifting practice maturity

· Proven product management experience within insurance or broader financial services

· Demonstrated ability to manage products end-to-end across multiple stakeholders and functions

· Experience operating within formal governance, compliance and regulatory frameworks

· Strong commercial judgement and the ability to balance risk, customer outcomes and profitability

· High-impact stakeholder engagement, influencing and negotiation capability


Skills and Experience

· Background in Commercial and/or Rural Insurance (ideally)

· Product management experience within insurance or other financial institutions

· Strong stakeholder engagement, influencing and negotiation skills

· Ability to operate confidently in a regulated, risk focused- environment

 

What we can offer you:

· Free life, salary continuance and trauma insurance cover

· Discounts on Vero and Southern Cross medical insurance

· Flexible leave of up to four days per year in addition to annual leave

· Positive, inclusive team environment where we welcome individuality and celebrate diversity

· Flexible work arrangements embracing a healthy work/life balance
