About the Role
At Ageas, data is central to how we improve customer outcomes, optimise pricing, and drive smarter business decisions. As a Product Owner within our Data function, you'll play a key role in translating business needs into data-driven delivery—ensuring the right work is prioritised and delivered to create real impact.
This role is ideal for someone who is curious, commercially aware, and eager to learn. You don't need to have all the answers—but you do need the ability to quickly understand how a business like Ageas operates, build strong stakeholder relationships, and confidently turn complex requirements into clear, actionable work for your squad.
At Ageas, you'll join a collaborative environment where curiosity, ownership, and strong relationships are key to success. If you're someone who can bridge business and data, keep delivery moving, and continuously learn—we'd love to hear from you.
Main Responsibilities as Data Product Owner
- Own and prioritise a value-driven backlog across data and MI initiatives.
- Translate business needs into clear epics and user stories with defined outcomes.
- Lead Scrum teams (5-6 people), driving delivery with Analysts, Engineers, and QAs.
- Build strong stakeholder relationships to align priorities and maximise value.
- Manage dependencies, resolve conflicts, and keep delivery on track.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
