Optum Advisory is seeking a Director of Digital & Design to lead and scale our creative & experience design offering within the Payer Technology practice. This role is a unique opportunity to act as both a Creative Director and consulting leader, responsible for building a high-performing creative function while shaping client engagements and driving business growth. This individual will play a critical role in establishing creative services as a differentiated, in-house capability, elevating the quality and impact of experience design across engagements. In parallel, the Director will operate as a seller-doer, partnering with leadership to originate new opportunities, grow client relationships, and help convert pipeline into revenue.
