Sr Director Precision Engagement

The Principal Engagement Orchestration leads the enterprise contact strategy and engagement orchestration engine that delivers the right message, through the right channel, at the right moment—without overwhelming the people we serve. This role encompasses nine customer dimensions: employees, prospects, members, patients, providers, family caregivers, brokers/agents, plan sponsors, and vendor partners. This role designs and manages enterprise-wide customer communication strategies and execution plans, guided by "N of 1" personalization and "Self-Service first" principles. This role owns cross-channel communication governance, frequency capping, and suppression logic across Health Services, Commercial and Government Markets, and Shared Services, ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements while maximizing engagement effectiveness. 
 

The Principal Engagement Orchestration serves as the strategic steward of the member communications portfolio, balancing discretionary outreach with mandatory touchpoints, and drives measurable improvements in reach, opt-out rates, and contact-load management. This leader builds a high-performing team that operates as a core function within a shared service model, supporting enterprise-wide strategic efforts across business units and other shared services. While maturing the team from a people, process, and technology perspective, this leader must also create the conditions for experience-obsessed teams and be bold in how we pioneer work that is first of its kind, working hand-in-hand with stakeholders. This function sits within the 'business product' team and works hand-in-hand with the 'technology product' teams. This is a senior leader role reporting to the Vice President, Enterprise Customer Experience & Engagement.

•    Define rules and decision trees that determine optimal timing, channel, and message sequencing for each member segment and journey stage.
•    Ensure consistency and quality across all channels, touchpoints, and outbound communications while maintaining flexibility for business unit and segment-specific needs.
•    Ensure all customer-facing messages are clear, consistent, timely, and delivered through the optimal channel, adhering to “N of 1” personalization and “Self-Service first” principles.

•    Collaborate with Experience Advisory (journey and content design) and UX/UXR (look and feel) to define communication templates.
 

Integration & Closed-Loop Accountability
•    Partner with the Principal Experience Intelligence, who owns the targeting, signal, and predictive models, and own how those models are governed and operationalized within the engagement strategy to close the loop between insights and engagement actions.
•    Provide regular feedback to Product on communication effectiveness, including what drives response, self-service adoption, and opt-outs.
•    Ensure that engagement orchestration is informed by real-time data, member preferences, and predictive signals.
•    Drive accountability for engagement effectiveness metrics: reach, response rates, opt-out rates, message fatigue, and contact-load reduction.
•    Translate engagement performance into actionable insights for continuous improvement.
 

Team Leadership & Development
•    Lead a mixed, high-performing team of orchestration strategists and engagement leads.
•    Build deep bench strength through mentoring, capability development, and cross-functional pairing.

•    Develop partnerships with top MBA and BA schools for internships and fellowships to create a strong pipeline of talent.
•    Champion a culture of experience obsession—democratizing engagement rules and contact-load visibility so that every outreach decision protects the member from overload.
