The Marketing Director, Medicare Advantage Clinical Quality & HEDIS is the marketing strategy leader responsible for defining how member engagement will advance Clinical Quality, HEDIS and Medicare Stars priorities. This leader partners with the business to translate clinical and business objectives into a clear marketing strategy: who to engage, what behavior to influence, and the best intervention, message, channel and moment to drive that behavior.

This role leads the transformation from campaign-centric outreach to intelligent, personalized, signal-driven and outcome-based engagement. Using member insights, behavioral science, data and technology, the leader will shape next-best-action strategies and measure whether marketing interventions drive desired member behaviors, quality outcomes and business impact, not simply communication engagement.

The Director sets the vision, evolves how the function works and builds the team, capabilities, partnerships and member engagement experiences required to deliver the strategy. Success requires close collaboration across Clinical Quality, Stars, Product, Provider, Analytics, Digital, Sales Technology, Member Services, Member Experience, Operations and Compliance. This role reports to the Senior Director, Member Marketing, Government Programs.

You’ll enjoy the flexibility to work remotely * from anywhere within the U.S. as you take on some tough challenges. For all hires in the Minneapolis or Washington, D.C. area, you will be required to work in the office a minimum of four days per week.
