The posting

Hi, we're Oscar. We're hiring an Associate Director, Appeals & Grievances to join our 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:

The Associate Director, Escalations — Administrative Complaints, Grievances & Appeals (CGA) provides strategic leadership and operational oversight for Oscar's non-clinical Administrative CGA and Elite Member Champion Team (MCT) operations. This role is responsible for driving operational excellence and regulatory compliance across all lines of business, and utilizes Lean methodologies and capacity-based staffing models to maintain strict adherence to federal (CMS) and state turnaround times. The Associate Director, Escalations — Administrative CGA will lead high-performing teams through complex administrative member and provider issue resolutions, leverage case data to mitigate reputational risk, and collaborate with cross-functional partners in Claims, Network, Legal, and Compliance to eliminate root causes and proactively reduce overall escalation volume while fostering a strong talent pipeline.

You will report into the Senior Director Member & Provider Programs.

Work Location: This is a remote position, open to candidates who reside in: Arizona; Florida; Georgia; Illinois; Iowa; Kansas; Michigan; Missouri; Nebraska; New Jersey; North Carolina; Ohio; California, Pennsylvania; South Carolina; Tennessee; Texas; or Virginia. While your daily work will be completed from your home office, occasional travel may be required for team meetings and company events.

Pay Transparency: The base pay for this role in the states of California, Connecticut, New Jersey, New York, and Washington is: $ 123,372.00- $161,925.75 per year. The base pay for this role in all other locations is: $111,034.80- $145,733.18 per year. You are also eligible for employee benefits, participation in Oscar's unlimited vacation program and annual performance bonuses.

Responsibilities:

  • You will lead operational goals for CGA and Escalation teams, maintaining full accountability for compliance and quality metrics across all lines of business.
  • Develop a multi-tiered team of managers, lead, and specialists using structured coaching frameworks and clear performance accountability to foster high engagement.
  • Be the ultimate resolution authority for high-visibility, high-risk administrative complaints coming from senior leadership, regulatory bodies, and social channels.
  • Establish and enforce standardized evaluation, escalation, and resolution workflows to ensure seamless end-to-end case ownership and eliminate friction.
  • Maintain constant audit readiness and act as the primary operational lead for CMS, state Department of Insurance (DOI), and internal compliance audits.
  • Partner with Claims, Network, Legal, and Compliance teams to turn case data insights into systemic root-cause solutions.
  • Maximize operational efficiency and cost-effectiveness by using workforce data, capacity staffing models, and Lean methodologies.
  • Manage delegated vendor entities to ensure full adherence to contractual, regulatory, and quality CGA standards.
  • Present performance metrics, operational trends, and strategic compliance recommendations to executive leadership.
  • Compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.
  • Other responsibilities as assigned.

Requirements:

  • 7+ years of progressive experience in healthcare operations, specifically focusing on healthcare compliance, complaints, grievances, or appeals (A&G).
  • 4+ years of people management experience, including leading and developing other supervisors, team leads, or managers in a high-volume operations environment.
  • Advanced knowledge and equivalent experience with Commercial Insurance, Medicare/Medicaid, and Affordable Care Act (ACA) rules and regulations relating to administrative Grievance & Appeals processes.
  • Experience leading or representing operational teams during CMS, state-level, or other regulatory audits.
  • Experience using operational data to lead decision-making, manage capacity, and implement process improvements.

Bonus points:

  • Bachelor's Degree or 4 years of equivalent experience.
  • Operational Excellence Certification (Lean Six Sigma Green/Black Belt or equivalent).
  • Experience leading remote or multi-site teams in a collaborative, fast-paced environment.
  • Experience with data visualization tools (Tableau, Looker) and specialized case management systems (such as Inovaare or Jira).
  • Advanced Degree (MBA, Master of Health Administration, or Juris Doctor).

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
