Description

Founded in 1977 as the Senior Care Action Network, SCAN began with a simple but radical idea: that older adults deserve to stay healthy and independent. That belief was championed by a group of community activists we still honor today as the “12 Angry Seniors.” Their mission continues to guide everything we do.

Today, SCAN is a nonprofit health organization serving more than 500,000 people across Arizona, California, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas, and Washington, with over $8 billion in annual revenue. With nearly five decades of experience, we have built a distinctive, values-driven platform dedicated to improving care for older adults.

Our work spans Medicare Advantage, fully integrated care models, primary care, care for the most medically and socially complex populations, and next-generation care delivery models. Across all of this, we are united by a shared commitment: combining compassion with discipline, innovation with stewardship, and growth with integrity.

At SCAN, we believe scale should strengthen—not dilute—our mission. We are building the future of care for older adults, grounded in purpose, accountability, and respect for the people and communities we serve.

The Job

The Digital Content Strategy & Optimization Lead serves as the enterprise owner of SCAN’s digital content optimization roadmap, high-visibility content delivery, strategic publishing practices, and conversion optimization agenda. The role combines advanced content strategy and cross-enterprise influence with hands-on writing, editing, page production, and publishing to create high-caliber digital experiences for prospects and members.

This role leads content strategy and execution for high-priority enterprise initiatives, partnering across Digital Product, UX, Marketing, Sales, Analytics, Customer Experience, Compliance, Operations, and Technology. The position translates business objectives, audience needs, behavioral insights, and regulatory requirements into carefully crafted content and well-designed, timely published pages that improve clarity, engagement, conversion, education, and self-service outcomes.

Unlike a traditional senior content producer role, this position is accountable for shaping enterprise content direction, setting optimization priorities, making or escalating final decisions on content standards and publishing practices, and connecting content decisions to measurable portfolio-level prospect, member, and business outcomes. The role also serves as the final escalation authority for SCAN’s most visible, sensitive, and strategically important digital content experiences.
