Senior Analyst, UM Authorization Strategy

Hi, we're Oscar. We're hiring a Senior Analyst, Utilization Management Authorization Strategy to join our Utilization Management Authorization Strategy team.

Oscar is the first health insurance company built around a full stack technology platform and a 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 doctor in the family.

About the role

You will develop, analyze, and monitor key dashboards to drive operational excellence and opportunity identification in the authorization space. You will work cross-functionally to understand our data needs, drive projects that support identifying areas to enhance our strategy, and develop scorecards to monitor the value of solutions we have implemented.
