About The Position

Please Note: We are unable to consider visa sponsorship for this role. The Team Our Mission: We serve those who serve others. The Tax Exempt Market (TEM) supports mission‑driven institutions—including major healthcare systems, colleges, and universities—by delivering retirement plan services that improve financial well‑being. Strategic Partnership: In this senior role, you will collaborate closely with TEM Product Leadership, Engineering, Distribution, Operations, and global teams to design and deliver capabilities that transform the participant and plan sponsor experience. The Role As a Director, TEM Business Analysis & Strategy, you will be a senior, high‑impact force within the TEM Product Area. We are looking for a strategic systems thinker who can quickly understand and operate within a multi‑platform ecosystem with intricate processes, data interactions, and operational touchpoints. You are not expected to perform technical implementation work; you are expected to understand data, system behavior, and cross‑domain dependencies well enough to influence decisions, shape strategy, and ensure delivery. You are the person who becomes a domain expert quickly and uses that expertise to drive clarity, alignment, and outcomes across a global ecosystem. Acting as an end‑to‑end analytical integrator, you will connect business strategy, platform capabilities, and delivery execution. You will translate the why behind critical initiatives into a cohesive what—and, where appropriate, the how—that TEM teams can align to and deliver against.
