As Ancillary Product Manager, you will manage day-to-day product and program activities across assigned ancillary initiatives, with an initial emphasis on the over-the-counter (OTC) benefit and flexibility to support other programs as business needs evolve. This role translates product direction and business needs into clear tasks, timelines, deliverables, and follow-through across internal teams and external partners.

You will work across a broad set of partners, including Product, Operations, Technology, Legal and Compliance, Finance, Marketing, vendors, and others, to coordinate inputs, drive deliverables, document decisions, manage risks and open questions, and keep stakeholders aligned.

Success in this role requires strong organization, attention to detail, sound judgment, and disciplined follow-through in a matrixed, regulated environment. The individual must be able to communicate program status and risks, influence across teams, and turn operational, vendor, regulatory, and member experience needs into clear workplans and repeatable processes while balancing compliance, feasibility, financial outcomes, and member experience.

• Manage day-to-day program activities across assigned ancillary initiatives, including benefit setup, operational readiness, materials development, issue tracking, process improvement, and member experience support
• Evaluate member issues and partner feedback to support consistent, compliant decisions and identify needed policy or procedure updates
• Help lead ongoing initiatives such as network adequacy, product roadmaps, eligibility, program integrity, financial monitoring, and member experience improvements by tracking progress, risks, and next steps
• Contribute to plan filing and design activities by gathering market feedback and business inputs, coordinating behind-the-scenes data and setup processes, and assessing how vendor systems, eligibility, or benefit changes may impact implementation, operations, and member experience
• Implement benefit or program changes by coordinating readiness activities, documenting requirements, communicating impacts, and training internal teams on updated policies, processes, and member experience expectations

• Maintain clear documentation, decision logs, and status updates to communicate program progress, risks, and issues to leaders and stakeholders
