The Annuity and Insurance Product Delivery & Platform Strategy Team drives projects/programs that focus on driving strategic and continuous improvement initiatives supporting our Annuity and Insurance product organization across JPM Wealth Management. Responsibilities include analyzing business and operational processes to identify and recommend product & platform innovation, efficiencies, and applicability initiatives to drive business results. As part of the team, this role will partner with business leadership, key business stakeholders, and our third-party U.S. based insurance carriers and vendors to define, development and manage successful implementation. The role will have a strong focus on Artificial Intelligence (AI) initiatives and serve as a central point of accountability to translate the business AI vision into an executable roadmap—defining program scope, delivery operating model, milestones, resourcing, and dependency management across multiple concurrent initiatives.
The ideal candidate should have proven ability to thrive in fast-paced environments, think strategically, influence without authority, be a self-starter, and able to lead complex projects with a broad scope of stakeholders. The candidate will manage multiple workstreams simultaneously, encourage a strong collaborative environment, and drive projects end-to-end to completion. The ability to work across business functions (including sales, operations, technology, marketing, legal, risk, compliance) is critical to the role. The candidate will be familiar with the financial services industry, with an understanding of Life Insurance & Annuities.
