The Sr. Director, CDO Strategic Growth is the senior growth leader within the Care Delivery Organization, responsible for driving membership growth, enrollment performance, and market expansion across the CDO's four markets: Nevada, Texas, Arizona, and North Carolina. This role leads a team of growth professionals and works closely with CDO market leadership, Provider Contracting, and directly contracted physician groups to execute multi-channel growth strategies that convert physician group partnerships into sustained enrollment and attributed membership gains. The key outcomes this role drives are measurable increases in membership, attribution, and enrollment through directly contracted physician channels — executed through disciplined growth planning, effective AEP readiness, data-driven campaign management, and continuous ROI optimization across all four CDO markets.

Job Responsibilities:

1. Develop and execute annual and multi-year CDO membership growth plans. Build and own a comprehensive annual growth plan for each CDO market — Nevada, Texas, Arizona, and North Carolina — focused on measurable gains in membership, attribution, and enrollment through directly contracted physician groups; and lead the development of a multi-year growth plan that positions the CDO for scalable market expansion.

2. Drive AEP readiness and enrollment execution across all four markets. Own AEP planning and promotional execution for the CDO — coordinating with Provider Contracting, CDO market leadership, and directly contracted physician groups to ensure the CDO is operationally prepared to maximize enrollment during the annual enrollment period and open enrollment windows, with clear accountability for enrollment outcomes by market.

3. Partner with Provider Contracting, Market Leadership, and directly contracted physician groups to execute growth initiatives. Serve as the CDO's primary growth coordination point — partnering with Provider Contracting, CDO market leadership, and directly contracted physician groups to align on enrollment goals, activation strategies, and joint execution plans that drive membership growth and attribution through the physician channel.

4. Monitor market growth opportunities, enrollment trends, and membership expansion strategies. Continuously analyze market-level enrollment trends, competitive positioning, physician practice dynamics, and membership expansion opportunities across Nevada, Texas, Arizona, and North Carolina — translating intelligence into adjustments to the CDO growth strategy that maintain competitive differentiation and capture available market share.

5. Track growth analytics and measure ROI across all programs and markets. Develop and maintain the CDO's growth analytics framework — tracking enrollment outcomes, attribution rates, membership trends, campaign performance, and ROI by market and program — and use that data to optimize resource allocation, prioritize initiatives, and report results to CDO leadership on a defined cadence.

6. Manage the CDO growth budget and optimize investment decisions. Develop and oversee the CDO growth budget — allocating resources across markets, physician group activation programs, and AEP campaigns in alignment with CDO enrollment targets; tracking spend against enrollment and membership outcomes; and continuously reallocating investment toward the highest-performing channels and activities.

7. Build, lead, and develop the CDO Strategic Growth team. Directly manage the CDO growth team — setting clear performance expectations, building individual capabilities through coaching and development planning, and maintaining a team culture that is accountable, results-oriented, and capable of executing growth plans simultaneously across Nevada, Texas, Arizona, and North Carolina.
