Assistant Vice President, Product Innovation

Relm Insurance London, United Kingdom
Assistant Vice President, Product Innovation

WHO WE ARE:

Relm is a specialty insurer built for businesses shaping the future.

We work with companies operating across digital assets and Web3, AI, space, fintech, biotech and other emerging industries where traditional insurance markets can struggle to keep pace.

With teams across London, New York, Dubai, Miami and Bermuda, we combine specialist underwriting expertise with curiosity, creativity and a willingness to understand risks others may not.




WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR:



As
Assistant Vice President, Product Innovation , you'll play a key role in turning emerging risks, new industries and market opportunities into scalable insurance products. This is a hands-on, technically focused role for someone who understands insurance products and wordings deeply, but also enjoys looking ahead, spotting opportunities and building something new.



You'll take ownership of complex product development workstreams from initial idea through to launch, working closely with Underwriting, Legal, Compliance, Distribution and senior leadership across the business.




WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING:



  • Own key product innovation workstreams from concept through development, launch and ongoing lifecycle management.

  • Translate strategic priorities into tangible insurance products, including policy wordings, endorsements, coverage structures and product frameworks.

  • Identify and assess opportunities within emerging and rapidly evolving sectors, building clear, evidence-based recommendations for senior leadership.

  • Research market developments, competitor activity and sector trends to help ensure Relm remains ahead of the curve.

  • Lead the development of products designed for new and emerging industries, from initial sector research through to go-to-market.

  • Work closely with Underwriting, Legal, Compliance and Distribution to ensure products are commercially relevant, technically robust and regulatory compliant.

  • Review and approve product documentation, including policy wordings, product guides and positioning materials.

  • Build relationships with brokers, clients, industry bodies and businesses operating within target sectors to understand where insurance solutions are needed most.

  • Act as a senior subject matter expert across the business on product, wording and emerging-sector matters.

  • Provide day-to-day guidance and support to junior members of the Product Innovation team.

  • Contribute to wider Product Innovation and cross-functional initiatives as Relm continues to grow globally.




WHAT YOU'LL BRING:



  • Around 8 years' experience within insurance product development, underwriting, wordings or a closely related specialty insurance discipline.

  • Strong technical knowledge of insurance products, policy wordings, coverage structures and market dynamics.

  • Experience independently managing complex product or underwriting workstreams with limited supervision.

  • A strong commercial mindset and the ability to assess whether an emerging opportunity can translate into a viable insurance product.

  • Experience working collaboratively across Underwriting, Legal, Compliance, Distribution and other business functions.

  • Confidence engaging with brokers, clients and senior internal stakeholders.

  • Experience supporting, coaching or overseeing junior colleagues.

  • Curiosity for emerging industries such as digital assets, fintech, biotech, gambling and other rapidly developing sectors.

  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to turn complex concepts into clear recommendations.

  • Professional qualifications such as ACII or CPCU are desirable but not essential.




WHAT WE OFFER:



  • Comprehensive Health & Wellness Coverage: We fully cover 100% of your supplemental health, dental, vision, disability, and life insurance plans, so you can focus on what matters most-your health and well-being.



  • Generous Pension Plan: Enjoy peace of mind with a 10% employer contribution to your pension, securing your future while you excel in your role.



  • 28 Days of Paid Annual Leave: Take time to recharge with 28 days of vacation, because we believe in work-life balance.



  • Professional Growth & Development: We invest in your growth through continuous training, development programs, and mentorship opportunities to help you reach your full potential.



  • Travel & Commuting Perks: Benefit from travel incentives, including commuting and parking support, so you can get to work with ease.



  • Wellness & Fitness Benefits: Stay fit and healthy with gym memberships and access to exercise classes-because we care about your well-being.



  • Your Voice Matters: Work in an environment where your ideas and opinions are not just heard but valued-helping shape the success of our team.



  • Endless Growth Opportunities: We offer multiple pathways for career advancement and personal development, ensuring you have the resources to grow within the company.



  • Flexible Work Arrangements: Enjoy a hybrid work environment that supports your career while offering the flexibility you need for a family-friendly lifestyle.



At Relm, you won't just join a company - you'll be part of a team that's shaping the future. If you're ready to make an impact, we'd love to hear from you.




WHY YOU'LL LOVE WORKING WITH US:

Relm is a team of innovators redefining what's possible in insurance.

You'll work in an environment that encourages curiosity, ownership and new ideas, with the opportunity to help shape products, markets and ways of working rather than simply inherit them.

We invest in our people and give them the support, tools and development they need to do their best work and continue growing with the business.
