Senior Product Manager, Authorization Services

Hi, we're Oscar. We're hiring a Senior Product Manager, Authorization Services to join our Product team. 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.   About the role: 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. 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. 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. You will report into a Staff Product Manager.
