Technical Program Manager

Hi, we're Oscar. We're hiring Technical Program Managers to join our Technical Program Management 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:

Help turn ambitious plans into better healthcare experiences through technology.

Oscar is hiring three Technical Program Managers to join our growing Technology Program Management Office (Tech PMO). By applying to this job post, you will be considered for all Technical Program Manager openings. Specific role placement will be determined following the interview process.

As a Technical Program Manager, you will lead work that helps members navigate their coverage, providers work more easily with Oscar, clinical teams deliver better care, and grow our business. We’re looking for someone who brings curiosity, initiative, and sound judgment. You enjoy understanding how systems work, asking thoughtful questions, and finding a path forward when the answer isn’t obvious. You build trust across teams, make difficult tradeoffs clear, and follow through on the details that turn a good plan into a successful launch.

You’ll partner with Product, Engineering, and business leaders across our Network, Growth, Member, and Clinical pillars. Each hire will support a defined set of teams, combining visibility across their roadmaps with direct leadership of selected complex programs. Your work could span provider data platforms, clinical integrations, member digital experiences, enrollment, broker tools, or marketing technology.

As an early member of a growing Tech PMO, you’ll also help shape how we plan, solve problems, and deliver together. This is an individual contributor role reporting to the Director of the Tech PMO.

You will report into the Director, Technical Program Management.
