Humana’s Consumer Product Management team is looking for an experienced Senior Program Delivery Professional, Benefit Enablement & Execution, to join working remote anywhere in the US. In this role, you'll work closely with Product Managers and cross-functional partners to move bid initiatives, research and process work from idea through delivery. You'll coordinate the analysis behind benefit and portfolio decisions, maintain accurate documentation and milestone plans, and support teams as they adopt new processes and tools. If you enjoy connecting strategy to execution and making sure deliverables stay on track, this role is for you.
As Senior Program Delivery Professional, Benefit Enablement & Execution, you'll help translate Medicare Advantage portfolio priorities into accurate analysis, well-defined deliverables and coordinated execution. Working closely with Lead Product Managers and cross-functional partners, you'll move bid initiatives, research and process improvements from concept through implementation while keeping decisions, documentation and milestones aligned.
You'll perform the detailed product, benefit, market, operational and regulatory analysis that informs portfolio direction. You'll coordinate feasibility reviews, research enterprise priorities and represent Product Management on assigned cross-functional workgroups. Your work will help leaders understand options, evaluate implications and make informed decisions.
You'll also strengthen the way Product Management operates by maintaining portfolio-governance records, supporting the Process Activation Calendar, improving process documentation, developing training materials and helping implement technology-enabled solutions. You'll take ownership of defined workstreams, identify risks early and build the capability to lead increasingly complex initiatives. This is a highly collaborative individual-contributor role for someone who combines analytical rigor, attention to detail and reliable follow-through with the curiosity and judgment needed to operate effectively in a fast-moving Medicare Advantage environment.
