Hi, we're Oscar. We're hiring a UM Program Operations Manager to join our UM Strategy team.

The Manager of UM Program Operations is the "Execution Engine" of the UM Strategy team. While our strategists identify what we should do, you own the how. You are responsible for the flawless execution of high-impact programs like Gold Carding, Provider Incentive Programs, and the maintenance of our Prior Authorization (PA) List. You will ensure that every program is operationally sound, regulatory compliant, and scales effectively as our footprint expands.

You will report into the Director, UM Authorization Strategy.
