HCLTech is a global technology company helping enterprises reimagine their businesses for the digital age. Within the UK insurance market, HCLTech supports complex Life & Pensions operations, technology transformation, policy administration, data migration, service resilience, and regulatory-aligned delivery for leading financial services and insurance clients.
Role Overview We are looking for an experienced Product Owner / Business Product Lead to support the consolidated data migration and functional scaling of closed-book insurance portfolios into the Amarta Life and Pension System (ALPS). The role will initially focus on Life, Health, and Annuity product migration and will also support the extension of the target platform to administer Bond and investment-linked products. The successful candidate will act as the bridge between business stakeholders, legacy platform teams, data migration squads, actuarial teams, compliance stakeholders, QA teams, and Amarta configuration engineers. The role requires strong ownership of requirements, backlog prioritisation, migration acceptance criteria, reconciliation logic, and business validation across complex insurance data landscapes.

• Product Ownership: Own and manage the product backlog for insurance data migration, platform configuration, and functional enhancement activities.
• Target Platform Scaling: Define business requirements, data rules, product logic, schema updates, and configuration needs to extend Amarta from Life, Health, and Annuity administration into Bond product servicing.
• Migration Mapping: Lead user stories, business rules, field mapping, acceptance criteria, and validation requirements for ETL migration from multiple legacy platforms into a single target system.
• Agile Delivery: Prioritise epics, features, user stories, dependencies, and sprint deliverables in line with migration waves, release plans, testing cycles, and business readiness.
• Financial and Actuarial Validation: Work with actuarial and finance teams to define reconciliation rules covering policy values, premiums, annuity calculations, bond interest schedules, charges, surrender values, and legacy product rules.
• Data Integrity and Reconciliation: Support policy, customer, financial, document, transaction, and product-level reconciliation to ensure complete and accurate migration outcomes.
• Stakeholder Collaboration: Act as the central point of coordination between business SMEs, legacy developers, Amarta engineers, QA teams, data migration teams, compliance teams, and programme leadership.
• Governance and Compliance: Ensure requirements and acceptance criteria support UK insurance regulatory expectations, closed-book policy preservation, auditability, data protection, and operational control requirements.
• Testing Support: Support SIT, UAT, migration rehearsal, defect triage, business validation, cutover readiness, and post-migration hypercare activities.
