• Collaborate with marketing, clinical, and service design teams to define personalization rules, campaign logic, and success metrics

Execute & Deliver

• Lead cross-functional squads through agile product development, prioritizing backlog based on business impact and member needs
• Ensure NBA capabilities align with enterprise data governance, privacy, and ethical AI standards

Test, Learn & Optimize

• Establish test-and-learn frameworks to evaluate NBA effectiveness and evolve logic based on member behavior and campaign performance
• Define and manage product KPIs, monitor performance, and iterate to maximize relevance and ROI of NBA activations

Evangelize & Influence

• Influence and educate senior stakeholders across lines of business to advocate for NBA adoption and integration
• Serve as a thought leader and internal evangelist for AI-powered decisioning, omnichannel orchestration, and personalization-at-scale

• Deep understanding of customer journey orchestration, lifecycle marketing, and real-time personalization
• Experience managing horizontal, reusable capabilities used across multiple teams or journeys—especially logic engines, rulesets, or templates
