Hi, we’re Oscar. We’re hiring an Associate Product Designer, Platform to join our Product Design 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

Oscar’s Design Org is a multidisciplinary team that seeks to examine and innovate on the entire health and insurance journey. Our practice is human-centered and data-driven, focusing on empathy, research, and consumer insights. We lead by example and with our values. 

This role is focused on the operational platform that empowers Oscar’s internal teams to deliver a markedly different healthcare experience to our members. You will help to problem solve and envision the future of a variety of feature areas, such as benefit management, plan configuration, and operational platform capabilities. Aptitude for service design and research, a healthy appetite for experimentation and applying AI towards solutions are key to this role. Collaborating with various stakeholders - from operational teams to plan designers - is of equal importance. You will be involved in crafting our long term strategy for our insurance platform on which Oscar operates. Lastly, a deep-rooted passion for powerful yet approachable UI, and a keen understanding of business goals are indispensable. 

You will report to a Group Product Design Manager.
