Market Solutions Manager (Open to hiring at other levels)

HybridFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually the posting includes "Why Wellmark:" intro, then "Job Description", then "Qualifications", then "Additional Information". We need to use

for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We should map content accordingly. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate: EEO, immigration sponsorship, etc. Also remove "Learn more about our unique benefit offerings here." maybe keep? It's a link but no URL given; we can keep as prose? It's not substantive? Might be considered boilerplate? It's a call to learn more about benefits; but no details given. Probably drop. We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to extract sections: About the role (maybe from "Why Wellmark:" and "Job Description" intro). Responsibilities: from job description duties. Requirements: qualifications required. Skills: maybe from qualifications? Benefits: not given, so we should NOT create Benefits section. Pay: not given, so omit. Schedule: not given, omit. We need to decide headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills? The instructions say use those headings if content exists. We have Qualifications section already. We could combine Requirements and Qualifications? But they are separate headings. We have qualifications listed under "Qualifications". Also there is "Additional Information" which contains more responsibilities/duties. Could treat as Responsibilities. We need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We'll produce:

About the role

Why Wellmark: ... (the motivational paragraph). Then Job Description paragraph about Associate Market Solutions Manager role.

Responsibilities

  • ... list of duties from Job Description and Additional Information.
We need to ensure we capture all duties: from Job Description: "work closely with Market Solutions Managers and cross-functional partners to support the development, enhancement, and management of products and services that drive value for our members and clients.", "help identify opportunities to improve existing products and services by gathering insights, analyzing data and market trends, and contributing to product and business strategies.", "support the management of products and services throughout the product lifecycle within a segment of the business.", "develop and maintain a strong understanding of Wellmark's offerings and work closely with sales, operations, and other internal teams to support market positioning and client needs.", "assist with product discovery and research, supporting product delivery and implementation efforts, and helping ensure ongoing product maintenance and performance.", "in partnership with Market Solutions Managers and other stakeholders, contribute to market segment initiatives, product roadmap updates, new product launches, and the ongoing management of existing portfolios.", Also from Additional Information: many bullet-like sentences. We'll convert each sentence to
  • . We need to be careful not to duplicate. Let's extract responsibilities from Additional Information: - Work with Market Solution Managers, Sr/Lead Market Solution Managers, and cross-functional teams to ideate and develop new products/services or enhancements. - Support the evaluation and execution needs with research (investigates facts, issues, etc.), planning and development (e.g. SWOT), and documentation for varying products/product strategies. - Provide analysis that supports recommendations for strategic planning and collaborate with internal stakeholders to ensure product strategies are aligned to our corporate initiatives. - Assist in the day-to-day management/maintenance of assigned products. - Work with Market Solution Managers and Sr/Lead Market Solution Managers to update/maintain the product roadmap. - Translate roadmap into detailed requirements. - Participate in planning and progress meetings. - Keep stakeholders informed of progress. - Support the strategic governance model with key stakeholders to build holistic product recommendations and gain leadership buy-in as appropriate. - In partnership with Market Solution Managers or Sr/Lead Market Solution Managers, assist with product analysis and the prep/development of strategy documents. - Develop and maintain a prioritized list of customer/stakeholder/market requirements. - Collaborate with Market Insights team to identify data needs to help optimize product portfolio and product performance. - Support any research needs as a business subject matter expert to decisions related to product development, management, or enhancements. - Keep up to date with industry issues, competitor products, and apply knowledge of the health and well-being industry and Wellmark’s marketplace to develop recommendations. - Assist in the collaboration with key stakeholders to ensure the products are implemented efficiently and the execution of the go-to-market strategy is successful. - Includes the ability to support key drivers of project management effectiveness: meet deadlines, logically solve problems; recognize and mitigate risks, coordinate the business resources needed for subject matter expertise, and facilitate consensus among stakeholders. - Assist in the support of implementation and ongoing operations of market segment products, programs, and projects. - Provide subject matter expertise and/or serve as a team member of the applicable agile product team. - Build strong relationships with internal stakeholders across the organization to ensure product strategies are aligned to our corporate initiatives. - Assist with regulatory compliance related activities. - Manage risks, resolve issues with guidance, and follows up on tasks/actions. - Develop detailed understanding of requirements. - Impact customer satisfaction by assisting with the development of products and services that are focused on providing a holistic and streamlined experience for the customer. - Support internal and external education and training to ensure that teams have a full understanding of Wellmark’s health and wellbeing products. - Assist in conversations and work to connect the work within marketing, sales, network, pharmacy, health services, provider relations, operations, and other key stakeholders as needed. - Work with business areas to ensure products and market initiatives are implemented appropriately and accurately portrayed in communication mediums to customers, distribution channels, and others. - Assist with maintaining relationships and fulfillment of deliverables with vendors, customers and/or other external partners. - Ensure that standard operating procedures exist for all processes that are in place for existing products as well as when new products/enhancements are introduced into the market. - Other duties as assigned. We also have "This job requires a non-compete agreement." That's a condition; maybe include as a note? It's substantive. Could be placed in Responsibilities or a separate section? Probably include as a

    after responsibilities. Now Requirements: from Qualifications Required list. Let's extract Required: - Bachelor's degree or direct and equivalent work experience. - 3+ years of benefit design/administration or understanding, health insurance, financial services, or similar corporate experience with exposure to product/underwriting/or research. - Experience should reflect the ability to support the development, management, and delivery of complex projects. - Critical thinking and problem-solving skills. - Natural curiosity, business intuition, and financial acumen. - Willingness to approach problems from different perspectives to produce creative, innovative solutions. - Strong attention to detail. - Ability to analyze information, evaluate workflows/processes, recognize interdependencies, and make decisions that align with product strategies and balance customer and stakeholder needs. - Understanding of customer needs and ability to translate these into competitive products and services. - Strong verbal and written communications skills with the ability to share insights or recommendations with stakeholders. - Ability to develop strong relationships and promote collaboration and teamwork. - Proficiency with Microsoft Office and web-based applications. - Self-starter with strong time management skills and the ability to effectively prioritize projects or tasks. - Flexible and adaptable to change. Preferred: - Bachelor's degree in Finance, Economics, Analytics or related field - Direct experience with employer group benefits is strongly preferred. - Familiar with product life cycle management. Also there is a "Market Solutions Manager Required:" but that seems for a different role? Might be extraneous; but it's part of posting. It includes qualifications for a Market Solutions Manager (maybe a higher role). Should we include? It's part of the posting but maybe not relevant to Associate Market Solutions Manager. However we must preserve ALL substantive information; we cannot invent or summarize away detail. So we should include that as well? It's under Qualifications section after the Associate Market Solutions Manager qualifications. It says "Market Solutions Manager Required:" then list. That seems like a different role but it's still in the posting. We should keep it. Thus Qualifications section will have two subparts: Associate Market Solutions Manager Required/Preferred and Market Solutions Manager Required/Preferred. We could keep as a single list but maybe better to keep as separate

      with headings? But we cannot add extra headings besides the allowed ones. We could embed as paragraphs. Simplify: Under Qualifications heading, we can have

      with paragraphs describing required and preferred. We need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. Skills: we could extract from qualifications: strong communication, analytical, relationship-focused, organized, adaptable, eager to learn, etc. But we already have those in qualifications. Could create Skills section summarizing those. But we must not invent or summarize away detail; we can extract explicit skill statements. The qualifications already list many skills. We could create Skills section with those skill statements. However we must not duplicate content? The instruction: Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. It doesn't forbid duplication, but better to avoid redundancy. However we need to decide if we include Skills section. The posting does not have a separate "Skills" heading; but we can create one if we have skill-specific content. The qualifications already contain skill statements; we could move them to Skills section and keep Qualifications for education/experience. But that would be summarizing/reorganizing, which might be considered summarizing away detail? It's still preserving detail, just re grouping. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So maybe we combine qualifications and skills into one Qualifications section. Safer: just have Qualifications section containing all required/preferred items (including skills). No separate Skills section. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications. We must not create Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Now produce HTML. We'll need to escape any HTML special characters? Not needed. Let's craft. About the role paragraph: combine "Why Wellmark:" and the Job Description intro.
