We're looking for a Product Owner II/III to join our Digital Communication, Knowledge Management & Learning team within AI Acceleration & Platform , where you'll help shape the future of how we connect with customers and empower our employees. In this role, you'll own two high-visibility, enterprise-scale capabilities: Platinum SMS — Liberty Mutual's modern platform for two-way customer SMS communication — and Communications Interaction History — a cross-cutting capability that gives employees centralized visibility into customer interactions across all channels. This isn't just a backlog management role. It's a chance to drive meaningful outcomes at the intersection of technology, customer experience, and enterprise strategy. You'll collaborate across business, technology, UX, compliance, and operations to deliver capabilities that make a real difference — for customers who expect seamless experiences and for employees who need the right context to deliver them.

Champion the customer and employee experience — Represent the voice of the customer, employee, and business, keeping the team laser-focused on delivering the highest-value outcomes. Turn complexity into clarity — Translate ambiguous business problems and stakeholder needs into well-defined features, user stories, acceptance criteria, and actionable delivery priorities. Lead prioritization with purpose — Drive tradeoff discussions grounded in customer value, business impact, feasibility, cost of delay, and risk — making thoughtful decisions even in the face of uncertainty. Build strong partnerships — Collaborate closely with stakeholders across business, technology, UX, research, compliance, operations, and architecture to align priorities and remove obstacles. Deliver in an agile environment — Actively participate in quarterly planning, backlog refinement, sprint planning, demos, and retrospectives to keep the team aligned and moving forward. Measure what matters — Define and monitor product health and success metrics, including adoption, reliability, operational performance, and experience outcomes — using data to guide decisions. Enable scalable, future‑ready platforms — Partner with engineering and architecture to address dependencies, scalability needs, and opportunities to incorporate AI‑enabled capabilities. Connect the ecosystem — Collaborate across teams to support broader omnichannel communication initiatives and help build toward an intelligent, integrated customer communication future.
