Senior Data Analyst, Operational Insights

Hi, we're Oscar. We're hiring a Senior Data Analyst to join our Operational Insights 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 Health is hiring an Associate to join our Provider Operational Insights team. This lead level analyst position will apply a combination of business acumen and technical analytic capability to turn our provider, network and related operational data into insights and reporting. The role will be focused on digging into our existing processes to identify opportunities to increase efficiency, improve accuracy, and develop systems and processes for monitoring and triaging issues. If you have superior data skills and have built a reputation in your current role as a problem solver and trusted partner, then we want to talk to you! We are looking for inquisitive minds who do not accept issues as "just the way it is." This is an excellent opportunity for a career professional looking for a change, a challenge, and the ability to make a positive impact.
