As Oscar Health continues to expand to new markets across the country, an essential component is negotiating high-quality contracts with national and regional Providers, Systems and Vendors.

In this role, you will lead negotiations with Oscar’s most critical Vendor partners. You will collaborate with our division’s leaders and other internal stakeholders to understand and incorporate Oscar’s operational, financial, and member experience goals as well as regulatory requirements.

• Form strong working relationships with internal stakeholders across the company and understand the impact of our contractual terms on their workstreams.
