Help us turn trusted data into better business decisions
MSIG Specialty Marine NV is on a journey to become a more data-driven, insight-led and future-ready organisation. We are looking for a Data Product Owner – BI & Data Governance to help shape how data is owned, governed, understood and used across the business.
This is not just a reporting role. It is a highly visible opportunity to move the organisation from dashboards and management information towards trusted decision intelligence where data products are clear, reliable, well adopted and directly linked to business outcomes.
You will sit at the centre of business, data, technology, change and leadership, acting as the bridge between what the business needs, what the data can tell us, and how insight can drive better decisions.
MSIG Specialty Marine NV is part of the Japanese MS&AD Insurance Group and operates in the global Marine & Specialty insurance market. We provide high-quality underwriting and claims services to clients worldwide across areas including Cargo, Fixed Premium P&I, Hull, Liability, Specie, War and Superyacht/Yacht Insurance.
With approximately 220 employees across international offices in London, Rotterdam, Hamburg, Paris and Singapore, we combine the strength of a global group with the feel of a specialist, entrepreneurial business. We are flat, open and practical, with short lines of communication and real opportunities to take ownership, build capability and make an impact.
Data is becoming one of MSIG Specialty Marine’s most important business capabilities. To make better, faster and more consistent decisions, we need trusted reporting, clear KPI definitions, strong governance, high-quality data products and business stakeholders who feel confident using insight.
This role brings together four critical areas:
You will help ensure that data moves from being a reporting output to becoming a strategic business asset, with clear ownership, meaningful metrics and a strong narrative that helps stakeholders understand what the data is telling them, why it matters and what action should follow.
You will own and continuously improve the roadmap for BI products, dashboards, reporting suites and insight solutions. Working closely with business leaders, analysts, engineering, innovation, IT architecture and third-party partners, you will translate business priorities into clear data products, user stories, requirements and delivery priorities.
You will also take ownership of reporting governance, helping to standardise KPI definitions, data sources, business rules, reporting logic, quality controls and sign-off processes. A key part of the role will be reducing duplicated or manual reporting and promoting trusted reporting solutions as the primary source of truth.
As a business partner, you will work with teams across Finance, Underwriting, Claims, Marine Pricing, Operations, HR, Change and Senior Management to understand what decisions need to be made, what metrics matter most, how success should be measured and which indicators genuinely drive performance, and how data can support better outcomes.
You will help colleagues understand the story behind the data: what it means, why it matters, what is driving the result, what action it supports and how it contributes to MSIG Specialty Marine’s wider transformation.
You will bring experience across business intelligence, data products, reporting, analytics, data governance or data management. You do not need to have spent your whole career in data governance, but you should understand the importance of data quality, ownership, stewardship, definitions, lineage, controls and adoption.
You are likely to have experience owning or improving BI products, dashboards, reporting suites or management information solutions. You will be confident working with senior stakeholders and translating business priorities into practical reporting and insight solutions.
Experience in insurance, financial services or another regulated environment would be a strong advantage.
You will be a natural bridge between business users, technical teams and leadership. You will enjoy asking good questions, challenging assumptions and helping people understand how better data can improve decisions.
We are looking for someone who is:
This is a rare opportunity to help shape the data capability of a specialist international insurance business. You will work close to the business, close to decision-makers and close to the real operational questions that matter.
You will not be hidden away producing reports in isolation. You will be helping the organisation define what good data looks like, how insight should be used, and how trusted BI products can support better business performance.
At MSIG Specialty Marine, you will find a practical, entrepreneurial environment where people are encouraged to take ownership, share knowledge and develop in the direction that suits their strengths and ambitions.
If you enjoy combining data, business partnering, governance, product ownership and storytelling, this role gives you the platform to make a visible and lasting impact.
If you are excited by the opportunity to turn data into trusted insight, strengthen BI product ownership and help an international business make better decisions, we would love to hear from you.
