The Associate Director, Medicare Quality & Book of Business Experience Product Leader will own a portfolio of experiences that helps licensed Medicare sales agents understand which prospects or members need support, why an action matters, and how to complete compliant outreach efficiently. The role brings together quality priorities, Book of Business intelligence, agent workflows, communication tools, administrative service programs, payments, analytics, and member outcomes.

This leader will define the future-state experience across internal UHC telesales, UHC field-agent experiences in Jarvis, and external agency partner connections. The role will partner with Quality and STARS leadership, Sales, Agent Experience, Marketing, Communications, Technology, Analytics, Payment Operations, Legal, Compliance, Privacy, and other enterprise teams to turn quality priorities into simple, measurable product experiences.

This is a product leadership role with direct accountability for engagement, task completion, adoption, operational readiness, and compliance outcomes. It requires a leader who can translate complex clinical and operational needs into clear agent experiences while reinforcing that quality support is part of helping people live healthier lives, not simply an extension of selling a plan.

Role Scope

• Prospect and member Book of Business experiences across internal UHC telesales, Jarvis, and external agency partner technical or data connections
• Prioritized views of quality-related tasks, operational needs, clinical gaps, member outreach opportunities, status, and next actions
• Outreach enablement spanning approved email, text, call-flow guidance, push notifications, and future communication channels
• Agent education, training, talk tracks, program value, administrative service opportunities, and payment transparency
• Reporting and analytics in partnership with UHC Quality and STARS leadership
• Future quality engagement scenarios that expand the range of appropriate tasks agents can help members complete

This role is based in the Minnetonka MN office.

Primary Responsibilities:

• Product Strategy & Experience Leadership

  • Create a unified experience model across telesales, Jarvis, and external agency partners while accounting for channel-specific users, permissions, workflows, and technical constraints
  • Translate Quality and STARS priorities into clear agent-facing opportunities, task experiences, communications, education, and completion pathways
  • Prioritize near-term capabilities and establish a phased path toward broader clinical and operational gap-closure experiences
  • Own product decisions, tradeoffs, roadmap transparency, executive communication, and investment recommendations
• Book of Business Intelligence & Actionability
  • Ensure agents can easily identify which prospects or members need action, the reason for the action, its urgency, and the recommended next step
  • Define segmentation, prioritization, status, completion, suppression, and follow-up requirements with Quality, Analytics, Operations, and Technology partners

  • Lead product capabilities that make compliant outreach easier through approved email, SMS or text, call guidance, push notifications, and future channels
  • Partner with Agent Experience Marketing and Communications to drive awareness, adoption, education, and sustained engagement
  • Create an education strategy that explains the member value, quality rationale, expected action, and appropriate talk tracks
  • Reinforce the role of licensed agents as trusted advocates who support plan fit, health value, and healthier outcomes beyond enrollment
  • Use research and frontline feedback to ensure workflows and messages are understandable, credible, and useful
• Administrative Services & Payment Experience
  • Partner with compensation and payment teams to define clear agent experiences for eligible administrative services, required activities, completion validation, payment status, and issue resolution
  • Ensure payment-related product requirements support accuracy, timeliness, transparency, auditability, and operational controls
  • Help agents understand available program opportunities without allowing financial incentives to overshadow member needs, appropriate outreach, or quality objectives
  • Partner with Finance, Legal, Compliance, and business leaders on scenarios that may affect payment design, program economics, or regulatory thresholds
• Analytics, Outcomes & Optimization
  • Define a measurement framework that connects product use and outreach activity to engagement, task completion, quality performance, operational outcomes, and compliance
  • Partner with Quality and STARS Analytics to identify trends, prioritize opportunities, monitor performance, and evaluate program effectiveness
  • Establish dashboards and operating reviews that provide transparent views of adoption, funnel performance, completion, exceptions, payment status, and channel outcomes
  • Use quantitative and qualitative insights to refine prioritization, experience design, communications, training, and future roadmap decisions
  • Distinguish activity metrics from meaningful outcomes and avoid optimizing for outreach volume alone
• Compliance, Governance & Operational Readiness
  • Ensure product experiences and communications align with applicable CMS requirements, TCPA, Medicare marketing guidance, privacy, security, accessibility, records, and internal policy expectations
  • Partner early with Legal, Compliance, Privacy, Communications Review, Technology Risk, and operational leaders to build requirements into the product lifecycle
  • Define consent, channel eligibility, suppression, escalation, audit, disclosure, and exception-handling requirements as applicable
  • Lead readiness across training, support, monitoring, communications, release management, and peak operational periods
  • Create governance for new quality engagement scenarios so future expansion remains member-centered, measurable, and compliant
• Cross-Functional & People Leadership
  • Lead through influence across a complex matrix of Sales, Quality, STARS, Agent Experience, Marketing, Communications, Analytics, Technology, Payment Operations, Finance, Legal, and Compliance partners
  • Direct and develop the Medicare Quality & Book of Business Product Analyst, providing clear priorities, coaching, and accountability
