Vice President Product Development and Employer Reporting
The Vice President Product Development and Employer Reporting will be responsible for developing and managing products and services which are highly valued by small, medium and large customers. In addition to customers of all sizes, this includes all funding types and both single- and multi-site employers.
He/she will be accountable for building a high-performing organization and driving profitable revenue and market share growth through the introduction of products and features which differentiate our company and which are valued by employers. This includes adapting to the needs of employers of varying sizes, conceiving of product and feature concepts which are forward-looking and generally unavailable or underdeveloped today, identifying and working with external partners to ensure our company is continuously the product leader in our service area, and collaborating cross-functionally on concepts, build-or-buy, and operational, and similar issues. The clear articulation of both near- and mid-term strategies will be critical to this person’s success. All strategies will have to address the needs of both new business prospects as well as existing customers, with whom we want to not only maintain but, when possible, expand our business relationships.
Employer Reporting is the second substantial area of responsibility of this role. The VP Product and Employer Reporting first identifies and builds what customers want to buy, and then reports to them on how we are performing and on what all parties can do to improve performance. Our company’s marketplace has left a substantial opening for us to build more complete customer and distributor relationships through a leading ability to share information with our customers and agents/consultants.

• Identify ways to fully leverage the company's assets for small, medium and large groups customers
