Job description
Who we are
Jellyvision ALEX®, is on a mission to improve lives by helping people choose and use their benefits. We are raising the bar—for benefits and the employee experience (for our employees and those of the customers we serve) – by scaling personalization, compassion and an earnest intent to be helpful in all that we do.
Jellyvision people are a group of creative problem solvers who use good judgment, give each other honest feedback, engage in real debate, and snack frequently. We are curious, hungry, and humble—because we know this is how we’ll continue to make an impact. We’re kind, biased towards action, and sweat the details to create great experiences for those we serve.
We are an inclusive, human-first workplace. Respect and trust for each other are foundational, and our equitable total rewards offerings support the lives and holistic well-being of our unique people. At Jellyvision, expect career experiences that challenge you, empower you to have a direct impact on our mission, and enable you to learn, try, and do while having fun along the way.
What’s the role?
We’re looking for someone who can bring deep expertise as we build out a new HR platform. They know how the ecosystem works, who we need to work with and partner with and integrated with, and how to set our platform up for success. They have a perspective on what we should definitely do and (just as importantly) what we definitely should not do.
Specifically, this role will define how our new HR platform connects to payroll, HRIS, carriers, and everyone else we need to interact with in support of our broader product strategy.
What you’ll do to be successful
1) Curiosity Grew the Product Line
- You’ll be relentlessly “external” in your focus - all customer, partner, and market oriented, with a knack for thinking expansively about how to solve hard problems.
- You’re entrepreneurial, able to deal with a lot of ambiguity, and can set a vision, learn quickly and iterate, and be bold about what’s possible. You have no patience for “we can’t do that” or “that would be hard.”
Success will be measured by a deep understanding of competitive forces, customer expectations and feedback and fully-tested roadmap to launch. Speed and quality are important here.
2) Define the ROI
- You’ll be defining where we should and should not invest as we launch a brand new product line. You’ll talk to customers, prospects, partners - to validate hypotheses and race to an understanding of commercial terms.
- Speed to market is incredibly important, so balancing the good/fast/cheap triangle, and establishing a phased approach to bring value to the market will be key.
Success will be measured by a Strategic Product Roadmap that creates growth.
3) Work Up, Down & Across
- You are relentlessly collaborative. And you’ll work in tight concert with Creative, Product Marketing, Technology and Delivery, and Sales and Marketing. You know that you’re at the center of almost everything and you can support the conversations that get it over the line.
- You understand the level of detail that Execs need, that Tech needs, that Sales & Marketing need - and craft the outputs and artifacts that deliver.
- You are as familiar with spreadsheets as you are with Board decks and can effectively and succinctly get your point across in any medium (if you need fingerpaints, let us know).
Success will be measured by a Strategic Product Roadmap that creates growth.
Experience & skills you’ll need
- 7+ years of relevant product innovation experience in the health and benefits space
- Exceptional leadership skills that can reach up, down and across Jellyvision to explain your vision and influence decisions for internal and external stakeholders
- Proven track record of setting a vision, executing against it, and making decisions based on ROI, even when there is imperfect information
- Business savvy, understanding SaaS business models, pricing and packaging strategies
- Exceptional verbal and written communication skills; must effectively communicate with technical and non-technical people in a way that raises the bar for everyone
- Experience leading customer discovery and validation, communicating vision to customers, and partnering with the revenue organization to bring the product strategy to life in the market
- Experience in HR Tech. You understand the ecosystem, competitors and movements within this realm
- Experience working with software development teams in an agile process, especially to design new solutions, taking into account the realities of cost, time and effort to get to launch
- Build/buy/partner analysis - especially scanning players in the ecosystem for existing capabilities to identify priority partner opportunities
- Affinity towards outside-the-box thinking and ability to connect the dots to create market-valued, innovative solutions
The Details
- Location: Remote
- Starting Salary: $145,000 - $170,000
