Position Summary

The Lead Director, Customer Experience Strategy Program Operations Lead, will serve a critical role in the success of Aetna’s member experience improvement program and broader engagement of key stakeholders for technology solutions to improve experience and efficiency. The Ld Director will do this by leading portfolio operations to ensure consistency and rigor in initiative tracking, driving cross-program coordination and reporting, and deploying communication strategies to create visibility and amplify efforts of delivery teams to executive stakeholders across Aetna & CVS Health.
This is a visible role with direct exposure to senior leaders and the opportunity to be a driving force for change in our organization.
