Job Description

About the Role

As a Customer Engagement Strategist at The Cigna Group, you will be at the forefront of shaping digital experiences that guide customers towards better health outcomes. Your day-to-day will involve collaborating with cross-functional teams, including data and analytics, product, and technology teams, to develop and execute customer-centric engagement strategies. The goal is to drive measurable behavior change by identifying, testing, and scaling high-value customer engagement opportunities. You will be part of a passionate team that combines data, behavioral science, and modern marketing practices to drive meaningful behavior change at scale. This role is ideal for a strategic thinker who loves to test, learn, and grow, and who thrives in a fast-moving, Agile environment. The team's belief is simple: when people receive the right message at the right time, better health becomes possible. This is a unique opportunity to join a team that is genuinely making a difference in people's lives.

What You Will Do

  • Drive measurable behavior change by identifying, testing, and scaling high-value customer engagement opportunities aligned to business, product, and digital priorities.
  • Define customer-centric, data-driven engagement strategies, including target populations, use cases, channels, frequency, and success metrics.
  • Design and map end-to-end, multichannel customer journeys across email, SMS, push, web, mobile, and offline touchpoints.
  • Lead A/B/n experimentation by owning hypotheses, test briefs, measurement plans, and documented learnings.
  • Partner closely with product, analytics, technology, and delivery teams to execute experiments from concept through launch.
  • Build trusted relationships with cross-functional partners to align strategy, remove obstacles, and accelerate impact.
  • Translate insights into action by applying learnings to improve current campaigns and inform future strategies.
  • Create clear internal documentation and communications that enable alignment, transparency, and shared learning.
  • Manage approvals efficiently while maintaining momentum and quality.

What We Are Looking For

  • Minimum 5 years of experience in consumer or customer engagement strategy across multiple channels (email, SMS, push, direct mail, agent, web, and mobile).
  • Experience in product marketing, customer relationship marketing, or a closely related discipline.
  • Hands-on experience designing and executing direct-to-consumer behavior change initiatives.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to influence across levels and functions.
  • Experience working in Agile or rapid test-and-learn environments.
  • Comfort partnering with data and analytics teams to support both campaign measurement and strategic planning.
  • Working knowledge of behavioral science principles and how they apply to customer engagement.
  • A collaborative, growth-oriented mindset with a proactive approach to problem solving.

Nice to Have

  • Bachelor’s degree or equivalent practical experience (degree preferred, not required).
  • Experience with tools such as Confluence, Jira, Figma, Aurelius, or Tableau.
  • Familiarity with Customer Data Platforms (CDPs) or CRM tools such as Teradata, Redpoint Interactive, or Braze.
  • Experience working closely with communications delivery and execution teams.

Benefits and Perks

  • Comprehensive range of benefits with a focus on supporting whole health.
  • Medical, vision, dental, and well-being and behavioral health programs starting on day one of employment.
  • 401(k) and company-paid life insurance.
  • Tuition reimbursement.
  • Minimum of 18 days of paid time off per year and paid holidays.
  • Eligibility to participate in an annual bonus plan.
  • Flexible remote work options with the requirement of a reliable internet connection.

How to Stand Out

  • Tip: Ensure your resume and cover letter highlight specific examples of driving measurable behavior change through customer engagement strategies.
  • Develop a strong understanding of behavioral science principles and how they apply to customer engagement, as this will be a key aspect of the role.
  • Be prepared to talk about your experience with multichannel customer journeys and how you have used data to inform engagement strategies.
  • Practice discussing your approach to A/B/n experimentation and how you have applied learnings to improve campaign outcomes.
  • Consider building a portfolio that showcases your ability to design and execute direct-to-consumer behavior change initiatives, even if it’s from a previous role or a personal project.
  • When negotiating salary, be aware of the market standards for customer engagement strategists and highlight your unique skills and experiences that align with the company’s needs.
  • Be cautious of roles that do not provide clear expectations or seem to lack a structured approach to customer engagement; a well-organized team with clear goals is crucial for success in this position.
