Job Description

Who We Are:
Welcome to Noldor, we are on a mission to revolutionize how insurance data powers the program and specialty insurance marketplace. Don’t let the word "insurance" fool you, insurance is a dynamic and rapidly evolving marketplace, and we are at the forefront of its transformation. At Noldor, we are building a groundbreaking platform that redefines data exchange, empowering MGAs (Managing General Agents), carriers, and reinsurers to harness data for more informed, strategic decision-making.

Since our start in 2021 at the DESCOvery venture studio, we’ve been on a roll - building an energetic, supportive, and driven team that's fearless about tackling some of the toughest challenges in this $5 trillion industry. We work hard, laugh harder, and believe in the impact we’re making together. If you're ready to be part of a transformative journey, let’s reshape this industry side by side!

About The Role:

Reporting to the Product Manager, the Product Owner will support product development by managing product documentation, analyzing usage data, assisting with sprint coordination, serving as a subject matter expert across internal teams, and overseeing the software development lifecycle. This role is essential in keeping product operations organized, ensuring clarity in requirements, and helping teams and stakeholders stay aligned with product goals.

What You’ll Do:

• Create and maintain feature specs, release notes, and user guides that help internal teams understand how the product works.

• Own and prioritize the product backlog to align with product vision and business goals, ensuring clarity and accessibility for the development team.

• Work with the product team and stakeholders to clarify requirements, define user stories, and break down initiatives into detailed tasks.

• Create, maintain, refine, and prioritize tickets in JIRA - including acceptance criteria, priorities, dependencies, and story points.

• Partner with engineers daily to ensure clear understanding of requirements, support technical feasibility discussions, and resolve blockers quickly.

• Assist in refining the product backlog to ensure items are ready for upcoming sprints, aligned with business priorities, and scoped appropriately.

• Support the Business Data Analyst (end-user) team and other internal groups with training and materials for new features.

• Assist with user testing and QA by validating that new features meet user expectations and business needs.

• Develop a strong understanding of Noldor’s product to assist in answering internal questions and surfacing feedback.

Who You Are:

• 1–2 years of experience in a technical product, business analyst, or data analyst role; experience in SaaS, ETL, or data platform companies is a plus.

• Background or familiarity with Property & Casualty Insurance, MGA/carrier data, or insurance premium and loss data is a must.

• Comfortable working with product documentation and technical concepts like APIs or data structures (you don’t have to code!)

• JIRA experience or any ticket/support management system is a plus

• Curious, detail-oriented, and able to break down complex concepts into clear, actionable insights

• Strong communication skills, especially in writing - able to create clean, easy-to-follow documentation
  Analytical mindset - you enjoy diving into data, spotting patterns, and making recommendations

• Comfortable in a fast-paced, evolving environment where priorities shift and ambiguity is part of the job
