Job Level
About the role
- Lead the design of experiences that reflect the reality that most member interactions are connected to health — getting care, managing a condition, navigating a care transition, or working toward better well-being.
- Partner with clinical, medical management, and population health teams to design engagement strategies for members managing chronic conditions or complex care needs — ensuring that the experience of being supported feels proactive, personal, and connected.
- Develop experience models that move members from passive coverage-holders to active participants in their own health — leveraging data, behavioral science, and community connection to drive meaningful engagement.
- Identify and redesign the friction points that occur when members move between care settings, coverage changes, or life stages — moments where disengagement is most likely and the cost of failure is highest.
- Lead the human-centered design of end-to-end member, customer, and provider journeys across digital and non-digital channels — prioritizing the highest-impact moments across the full arc of a member’s health and coverage experience.
- Partner with Product, Technology, Operations, and Clinical teams to translate journey insights into concrete improvements in processes, platforms, and policies.
- Design specific interventions for critical milestones — enrollment, first use of benefits, a significant diagnosis, care completion, renewal — to reduce friction and increase both loyalty and health engagement.
- Champion the application of AI and automation to reduce friction and surface timely, relevant health support — while ensuring that human connection remains accessible and high-quality for members who need it most.
- Lead the overarching strategy for CRM and outbound communications throughout the member relationship — spanning service moments, care milestones, condition management touchpoints, and well-being programming.
- Develop communication cadences that anticipate member needs — particularly at key health and coverage moments — moving beyond reactive service to proactive relationship building that supports better health decisions.
- Build a high-performing CX function from the ground up: recruit, develop, and retain top-tier talent across journey design, CRM, health engagement, and CX program management.
- Develop enterprise CX training programs and competency models that embed member-centric, health-outcome-oriented thinking across business units, call centers, and clinical teams.
- Establish a CX center of excellence that serves as an internal resource, thought partner, and standard-setter across the GuideWell enterprise.
