You'll serve as a senior product voice in executive and regional forums, bringing together Product, Actuarial, Finance, Network, Compliance, Operations, Marketing and Market Leadership to make complex decisions and resolve competing priorities. When significant product, regulatory. or execution issues arise, you'll help the organization navigate the tradeoffs, determine the path forward and drive resolution.

Strengthening Quality, Compliance and Operational Excellence
