Join a world-class marketing organization creating the best possible engagement experience for millions of members.
Humana is a $100+ billion, Fortune 50, healthcare leader dedicated to improving the health and well-being of some of the most vulnerable populations in the United States—seniors, people with disabilities, and lower-income Americans. Humana is uniquely positioned to transform healthcare delivery by making high-quality care more affordable, accessible, and secure through integrated healthcare services, innovative technology, and data-driven solutions. To help deliver on this mission, we are seeking a senior product leader to define, build, and scale an enterprise-wide Next Best Action (NBA) decisioning engine—the intelligence layer that will power personalized, context-aware, and compliant engagement across all channels. You will serve as both the strategic and technical lead for a foundational capability, responsible for translating business goals into reusable decision logic, orchestration frameworks, and measurable outcomes.
This role is ideal for candidates with background equivalent to Decision Architects, Decisioning Consultants, or practitioners who have delivered enterprise decisioning frameworks (e.g., Pega CDH, Adobe RTCDP, Salesforce Einstein, RTIM, or similar).
Role Responsibilities
- Lead the evolution of an enterprise decisioning ecosystem that unifies marketing, digital, data, and operations functions.
- Build a 6-quarter roadmap focused on continuous, measurable value—through data-driven decisioning, adaptive learning, and cross-channel orchestration.
- Embed product discipline into how the organization builds and uses decisioning capabilities, helping move from fragmented campaign execution to coordinated, customer-centric engagement.
- Translate enterprise goals into decisioning strategies, eligibility criteria, prioritization logic, and optimization frameworks.
- Author and socialize the NBA operating model—clear governance, value tracking, and adoption metrics.
- Collaborate across teams to design a modular, platform-agnostic decisioning framework inspired by best-in-class technology (e.g., Pega CDH).
- Help align integration patterns, APIs, and reference architectures that enable scalability across digital, voice, service, and outbound channels.
- Define and maintain a centralized Action Catalog with metadata, KPIs, constraints, and policies for approval, versioning, and retirement.
- Establish governance frameworks in partnership with Compliance, Legal, and Data Governance to ensure responsible and auditable personalization at scale.
- Partner with Data Science and Analytics teams to define model inputs, outputs, and monitoring requirements for predictive and adaptive models.
- Serve as the enterprise subject-matter expert (SME) on decisioning and personalization, translating technical concepts for marketing, service, and channel leads.
- Partner with senior leaders across business units to align NBA priorities with enterprise OKRs and in-flight initiatives.
- Write detailed product requirements, user stories, and acceptance criteria.
- Partner closely with engineering and architecture to deliver scalable, resilient, and high-performance services.
- Define KPIs and dashboards to measure NBA value realization, e.g., enterprise adoption rate (# of channels using NBA logic).
- Drive continuous optimization through test-and-learn programs and closed-loop feedback into modeling and arbitration strategies.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Data Strategy Lead Jobs at Humana Jobs
Align your credentials to healthcare data standards
Humana operates under HIPAA and CMS data compliance frameworks. Documenting experience with health data governance, claims analytics, or population health platforms strengthens your case as a specialty occupation candidate when USCIS evaluates your H-1B petition.
Search DOL LCA filings before applying
Check the DOL's FLAG system for Humana's Labor Condition Applications under data strategy or analytics job titles. This confirms which roles have active wage certifications and signals which hiring teams are already set up to sponsor.
Target Humana's enterprise analytics divisions directly
Humana's data strategy hiring concentrates in teams supporting Medicare Advantage, Medicaid, and pharmacy analytics. Applying to roles tied to these business units puts you closer to hiring managers who regularly work with sponsored candidates and understand the process.
Use Migrate Mate to filter open roles by sponsorship
Not every Data Strategy Lead posting at Humana will flag sponsorship upfront. Use Migrate Mate to surface roles at Humana that have an active sponsorship track record so you're not wasting applications on positions that won't move forward for visa holders.
Clarify OPT or TN status early in recruiter conversations
If you're on F-1 OPT, Humana's HR and immigration teams need to confirm STEM extension eligibility before extending an offer. For TN holders, bring a clear role description that maps your title to the USMCA qualifying occupation list to avoid delays at the offer stage.
Request a defined timeline before accepting an offer
H-1B cap-subject petitions must be filed by April 1 for an October 1 start date. Before signing, confirm with Humana's immigration team whether premium processing is available and what their internal preparation timeline looks like so your start date is realistic.

Find Data Strategy Lead at Humana JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Does Humana sponsor H-1B visas for Data Strategy Leads?
Yes. Humana has a consistent history of sponsoring H-1B visas for data and analytics professionals, including roles at the lead and senior level. Data Strategy Lead positions typically qualify as specialty occupations under USCIS criteria because they require at least a bachelor's degree in a directly related field such as data science, statistics, or computer science. Confirm sponsorship availability with the recruiter early, as not every open role is approved for sponsorship.
How do I apply for Data Strategy Lead jobs at Humana?
Applications go through Humana's careers portal at careers.humana.com. You can also find open Data Strategy Lead roles filtered by sponsorship eligibility on Migrate Mate, which removes the guesswork of identifying which postings are realistic for visa holders. Tailor your resume to reflect experience with enterprise data governance, healthcare analytics platforms, and cross-functional stakeholder alignment, as those competencies appear consistently across Humana's data leadership postings.
Which visa types does Humana commonly use for Data Strategy Lead roles?
Humana sponsors H-1B visas most frequently for this function. The company also supports F-1 OPT and STEM OPT extensions for recent graduates, TN visas for Canadian and Mexican nationals whose role maps to a qualifying USMCA occupation, and J-1 for specific research or training arrangements. For longer-term permanent residency, Humana has supported EB-2 and EB-3 Green Card pathways for employees who demonstrate sustained performance in data leadership roles.
What qualifications does Humana expect for a Data Strategy Lead?
Humana typically looks for a graduate degree in data science, analytics, statistics, or a related quantitative discipline, combined with several years of experience leading data strategy or governance programs. Familiarity with cloud data platforms such as AWS or Azure, experience with health plan or managed care data, and a track record of translating data infrastructure decisions into measurable business outcomes are recurring qualifications across Humana's job postings for this level.
How do I plan my timeline if Humana is sponsoring my H-1B?
If you're not already in H-1B status, the cap registration window opens in March each year. Humana would need to submit your registration before the lottery, with the full petition filed by April 1 if selected. Factor in two to four months for internal preparation and LCA certification with the DOL before USCIS filing. STEM OPT holders can start before October 1 under a cap-gap extension, which gives you more flexibility on your actual start date.
