<p>Hi, we're Oscar. We're hiring a Senior Product Manager, Authorization Services to join our Product team.</p> <p>Oscar is the first health insurance company built around a full stack technology platform and a relentless 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.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>About the role:</strong></p> <p>Oscar is looking for a Senior Product Manager to help transform how healthcare authorizations work—one of the most complex, costly, and frustrating parts of the payer ecosystem. Today, prior authorization creates friction across the system: members face delays in care, providers navigate administrative burden, and payers incur significant operational cost. Our mission is to fundamentally redesign this experience.</p> <p>You will be part of the Authorization Services team, which is rethinking utilization management from a reactive approval process into a proactive, intelligent system that guides members to the right care—while minimizing or eliminating the need for manual authorization altogether.</p> <p>This is a high-impact, high-visibility role at the center of Oscar’s next phase of innovation—and one of the highest-leverage opportunities at Oscar to apply AI to core healthcare workflows. You’ll build and scale decisioning systems (e.g., auto-approvals, intelligent routing, proactive guidance) that improve member and provider experience and drive meaningful cost efficiency. For PMs looking to develop as AI-first product leaders, this is a unique opportunity to work on high-stakes applications of AI in healthcare.</p> <p>You will report into a Staff Product Manager.</p> <p><strong>Work Location: </strong></p> <p>This position is based in our New York City office, requiring a hybrid work schedule with 3 days of in-office work per week.
