Senior Director, Generative AI Product Strategy & Operations
At Cigna, we’re on a mission to improve the health, well-being, and peace of mind of those we serve. We’re not just a health services company; we’re innovators, dreamers, and doers who believe in the power of data and technology to transform lives. We’re building a future where healthcare is personalized, proactive, and accessible. And now, we’re venturing into the exciting realm of Generative AI to revolutionize how we serve our customers and run our business.
Why we need you
Imagine a world where AI doesn’t just crunch numbers but is deployed to solve complex health challenges in ways we’ve never seen before. That’s the future we’re building at Cigna and we’re at a pivotal moment in our journey. Generative AI has the potential to redefine healthcare as we know it – from personalized digital engagement to streamlined operations. But potential alone isn’t enough. We need someone who can turn this potential into reality, someone who can navigate the complex landscape of healthcare and AI to create solutions that truly make a difference.
You’re not just filling a role; you’re shaping the future of healthcare. Your experience as an AI product leader and strategic vision will be the catalyst that propels Cigna to the forefront of AI in healthcare. Without you, we risk falling behind in a rapidly evolving field. With you, we have the chance to set new standards in healthcare innovation and improve millions of lives.
This isn’t just about implementing new technology. It’s about reimagining what’s possible in healthcare by asking “what if” and then making it happen. Are you ready to lead this transformation?

• Build and nurture a team of rockstars who are as passionate about innovation as you are
• Collaborate with leaders across Cigna to identify game-changing opportunities and bring them to life
• Evolve the operating model for developing, deploying, and delivering business value with Generative AI applications, while ensuring we lead with integrity and responsibility
• Orchestrate scaling of Generative AI initiatives across digital, analytics, and enterprise service operations, while developing foundational capabilities that are reusable and extensible

• You’re a master communicator, equally comfortable discussing complex AI concepts with technical teams and explaining the business value of AI to C-suite executives

It would be nice if
• You have experience applying AI in healthcare or other highly regulated industries
• You’ve been part of a team that has successfully commercialized AI products or services
• You have a network of connections in the AI research community and stay abreast of cutting-edge developments
• You have hands-on experience with popular AI frameworks and tools
