About the company
We are Qatar Insurance Company (QIC), the leading insurance provider in GCC. With a history dating back to 1964, we have established ourselves as a pioneer in the insurance industry, offering innovative solutions to meet the diverse needs of individuals and businesses. Our vision is to make QIC group become the first Digital Ecosystem in the region by combining insurance and non-insurance services in one platform. Through our digital platforms, such as qic.online and the QIC app, we empower customers to manage their needs anytime and anywhere. Our employees have been featured in Forbes 30 under 30, teach at online universities, serve on program committees of major IT conferences, and have previously worked at Yandex, Tinkoff, Avito, Ozon, and other leading tech companies.
About the position
We're launching a new e-commerce vertical for home — within QIC digital hub and are looking for a Product Owner who can take this from 0→1: someone who's seen how this space works at scale and can bring both the playbook and the judgment to adapt it to our context.
Responsibilities
- Own the product strategy and roadmap for the Home vertical end-to-end, from concept through launch and scale
- Define the MVP, prioritize features, and drive fast iteration cycles based on user and market feedback
- Build the business case: market sizing, unit economics, monetisation model, competitive positioning
- Work cross-functionally with engineering, design, marketing, and commercial/partnerships teams to ship
- Set up and own key product metrics (conversion, GMV, retention, listing quality, etc.) and report against them
- Identify and manage strategic partnerships (developers, agencies, banks/mortgage providers, if relevant)
- Build and eventually lead a small team as the vertical matures
Requirements
- 3-5+ years in product management or product strategy, ideally with direct experience in real estate/home e-commerce or classifieds
- Track record of launching a product or vertical from scratch
- Strong commercial and analytical instincts — comfortable building a business case and reading unit economics
- High ownership and drive — genuinely energised by ambiguity and building something new, not just executing a defined roadmap
- Sound judgment and stakeholder maturity — able to hold their own with senior leadership and cross-functional teams
- Excellent communication skills in English
We offer
- Long-term service agreement contract with QIC with 3 months probation period
- We are diverse — our digital nomads work remotely from 25+ different countries
