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.

• Analytics, Outcomes & Optimization

• Define a measurement framework that connects product use and outreach activity to engagement, task completion, quality performance, operational outcomes, and compliance

• 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
