Job Description
As an Experience Strategist you likely come from a Product, Design or Analytics background and, wherever you started, at some point along the way you realized all three of these were integral to each other and you were already becoming that bridge that is Customer Experience Strategy.
At John Hancock, the Experience Strategist’s primary focus is the intersection between Human Centered Design (HCD) and our customers’ experience, the technology vision that enables that experience, the business needs that drive our partners. Most importantly you shape and own a toolkit to articulate a strategic vision informed by data and insights, and to measure the impacts of tactical implementations.
You partner with multiple Product teams within the framework of our design process (Align, Discover, Define, Design, Deliver, Measure). As a team works to frame a problem, you look to both qualitative and quantitative inputs from the business, customer research team, operational, and customer data. You validate hypotheses and identify opportunities for enhancements or pivots. With HCD, Technology and Product at your sides, you work on solution prioritization and contribute to iterative roadmaps. As you go, you always work to align user experience research insights and design with business goals and strategy.
Understand and contribute to the overall strategy of our digital experiences and omnichannel communications and our business using a variety of tools and frameworks. You know how and when to use our shared design and road mapping tools and be ready to bring experience with other methodologies to the table.

Experience with operational and behavioral data and analytics
Experience defining, tracking and measuring experience metrics

Thinking about different customer audience types, from B2B to B2C to B2B2C
As our organization’s approach to Digital Customer Leadership and excellence matures, you will help support and refine a variety of processes and approaches. You will listen, respond, test and learn.
You will:
Work with Lead Strategists, VSOs (Value Stream Owners) and POs (Product Owners) on defining end-to-end visions, leading and aligning design teams on the supporting experiences
Partner with Lead Strategists and Product Owners to ensure HCD is actively supporting the epic and story process, from intake to story-writing to setting design sprint objectives
Partner with POs on measurement strategy and framework, and collaborating with our cross-functional team(s) to ensure we understand experience impact
Partner with cross-value stream HCD design and CX research on journey mapping models that inform or align with the end-to-end strategy
Create and execute a roadmap for how data will measure inform customer behavior and designs by:
Partnering with Voice of the Customer (VoC) team on how NPS and User Testing results should be leveraged
Partnering with Advanced Analytics to establish initial standard web metrics along with identifying other data sources, standardize how these will be utilized
Partnering with Performance Marketing to determine how we measure the impact of experiences and the adoption and use of digitally measured service intents
