WHAT YOU'LL DO:

  • Bring structure and solutions to complex work, helping teams move from problem identification to clear recommendations and action.
  • Enable effective prioritization and trade-offs, focusing capacity on the highest-value work.
  • Create execution discipline and visibility across transformation efforts, including progress, risks, dependencies, decisions and outcomes.
  • Build and strengthen change management and communication systems so changes are understood, effectively implemented, adopted, and sustained.
  • Drive cross-functional transformation from opportunity through implementation and adoption, building alignment and momentum.

  • A continuous improvement mindset focused on customer experience, operational effectiveness, and business results.
  • You promote a collaborative culture, value different ideas and opinions, and listen courageously, remaining curious in all that you do.
  • While candidates local to the Omaha area are strongly preferred, we will consider a fully-remote work setup for the right candidate.  Employees located within 50 miles of Omaha will transition to a hybrid schedule with two in-office days per week (Monday & Tuesday) upon the opening of Mutual of Omaha's new headquarters in 2027.
