As the Senior Digital Experience Manager, you will lead the digital strategy, business vision, and user experience for our member-facing digital policy-management products, our mobile app and online member portal. In this role, you will define what features to build to achieve key business and member growth outcomes, partnering closely with a dedicated Technical Product Ownership team that manages technical delivery and sprint execution.

Sitting within the Member Marketing team, this strategic role bridges member insights, lifecycle strategy, UI/UX design, and cross-functional business priorities.

This position is open to candidates in the Seattle, WA area. You will have a hybrid remote/in-office schedule where you will work from our casual, pet-friendly office at least 3 days a week.
