Hi, we are Oscar. We are looking to hire a Provider Operations Data Management Associate to become part of our Provider Lifecycle team.

Oscar is the first health insurance company created around a full stack technology platform with the main focus on serving our members. We started Oscar in 2012 to create the kind of health insurance company we would want for ourselves—one that behaves like a family doctor.
