You will lead engineering teams, user experience designers, and key stakeholders to build mobile applications that drive meaningful impact for our members and business.The ideal candidate for this role will have a demonstrated experience in developing and executing a comprehensive digital strategy by closely working with multiple product managers, business lines and IT teams.
As the primary conduit between your employees and upper leadership, your role in communicating and modeling the values and guiding principles of our company culture is of vital importance. All members of IT Management should strive to consciously and consistently foster a culture of engagement, trust, and "open door" communication.
