Hi, we’re Oscar. We’re hiring a Chief of Staff to CIO to join our Executive Office 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
As the Chief of Staff to the Chief Insurance Officer, you’ll work with InsureCo leadership to build, scale and run Oscar’s Insurance business as we drive to meet our strategic goals. You’ll also work with leaders across the company, including Chief of Staff roles for other executives, to solve complex problems, drive solutions, and orchestrate operational initiatives.
A successful candidate can work independently and is a tight operator who can run the CIO’s "business office" processes (objectives and key results, workforce planning, etc) and work closely with the CIO to develop strategic solutions to address market dynamics and achieve corporate goals. They should be able to wrangle senior leaders across the Insurance business and drive them to act as a collective “operating committee” that solves business problems and makes business decisions in a unified way. They can “keep an eye” on the Insurance business’ day to day operations and provide the CIO with executive-level updates. Lastly, they’d have the business acumen and strategic thinking abilities to act as a thought partner for the CIO and the Insurance business’ business line and regional leaders.
You will report to the Chief Insurance Officer. This is a hybrid role. You will work part of the time in the New York City office and part of the time work-from-home/remote. #LI-Hybrid
The base pay for this role in the state of New York is: $176,000 - $231,000 per year. You are also eligible for employee benefits, participation in Oscar’s unlimited vacation program, company equity grants and annual performance bonuses.
