  • Define and execute product vision and roadmap to improve member experience and differentiate Advocacy offerings in the market
  • Partner cross-functionally with Operations, IT, Marketing, Finance, and Sales to deliver complex initiatives in a matrixed environment
  • Translate insights and data into clear product requirements and strategic recommendations
  • Manage competing priorities, risks, and dependencies while driving execution through ambiguity
  • Communicate effectively using inductive storytelling to align stakeholders and support decision making

You'll be rewarded and recognized for your performance in an environment that will challenge you and give you clear direction on what it takes to succeed in your role as well as provide development for other roles you may be interested in.
Required Qualifications:
  • 4+ years of experience in product/program development, product/program management, and/or product/program implementation within a matrix organization
  • Experience translating business, member, or operational needs into clear product requirements or deliverables
  • Demonstrated ability to lead cross-functional initiatives and influence stakeholders without direct authority

Preferred Qualifications:
  • 1+ years of experience working with health plans
  • Product Development and Product Lifecycle experience
  • Experience translating business, member, or operational needs into clear product requirements or deliverables
  • Proven solid analytical and problem-solving skills, including the ability to use data to inform decisions
