Senior Design Manager

Hi, we're Oscar. We're hiring a Senior Design Manager to join our Marketing 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

The Senior Design Manager inspires and shapes Oscar’s brand.  This role plays a dual function, acting as both a solid mid-level manager for our more junior designers, as well as a strong individual contributor who actively designs and produces their own projects. They should have the ability to work alone, in small teams and as a leader. They should be working with the highest standards of craft, creating inspiring work that ladders up to the Oscar brand standards and aspirations.
