Hi, we're Oscar. We're hiring a Director, Medical Economics to join our Actuarial 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 Director, Medical Economics, plays an instrumental role in Oscar's medical economics operating model, serving as a dedicated, proactive financial and analytic partner to a Market Vice President. You will be the point person accountable for supporting trend management and achieving market affordability targets. Rather than just tracking data, you will identify, size, and diagnose medical cost and utilization drivers, translating data into action. You will work as a strategic "quarterback," to triage deep-dive analytics to centralized analytic teams such as network performance, forecasting, and data science when appropriate, while maintaining deep understanding and ownership over your markets' context, goals, and results. You will manage your team to contribute analyses, reports, and dashboards to the medical economics tooling suite, building to meet market level needs in a way that is standardized, repeatable and re-usable across markets. You will report to the Senior Director, Medical Cost Analytics.
Work Location:
This is a remote position, open to candidates who reside in: Atlanta, GA. You will be fully remote; however, our approach to work may adapt over time. Future models could potentially involve a hybrid presence at the hub office associated with your metro area.
Pay Transparency:
The base pay for this role is: $178,848 - $234,738 per year. You are also eligible for employee benefits, participation in Oscar's unlimited vacation program, company equity grants and annual performance bonuses.
Responsibilities
- Trend Management Accountability & Partnership: Partner with regional Market teams, regional actuaries, and market medical officers to co-lead regional trend management and drive total cost of care reduction strategies.
- Proactive Opportunity Identification: Lead the proactive identification, sizing, and root-cause analysis of medical cost and utilization anomalies ("flares") and identification of affordability opportunities within assigned regions.
- Executive Communication: Present comprehensive, executive-ready analytics and materials.
- Team Leadership: Mentor analysts in developing both analytic expertise and "soft skills," specifically regarding business writing, data visualization, and partner influence.
- Analytic Quarterbacking: Act as a primary gateway and triage point for your market team's medical economics requests, effectively routing complex requests to centralized analytic teams such as network performance, forecasting, and data science when appropriate, while managing end-to-end follow-up with market leadership.
- Affordability Integration: Connect local market programs and emerging cost flares into Oscar's centralized affordability framework and governance programs.
- Playbook Development: Collaborate with central affordability and local market teams to develop localized trend management strategies.
- Shared Tooling & Innovation: Contribute to the department's core tooling strategy by building analytics tailored to specific market needs with an eye toward scaling them into national solutions via our internal tooling program. Develop best practices in analytics, automation, and documentation, contributing to department programs around innovation, and tooling improvements. Improve adoption of generative AI tools to improve team effectiveness.
- Enablement & Self-Service: Provide support and training to market leadership teams to ensure self-service utilization of medical economics reports & tooling.
- Cross-Pollination: Promote operational efficiency and shared learning by actively sharing successful tactics, playbooks, and localized analytic tools across different regional markets.
- Compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.
- Other duties as assigned.
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in a STEM field, or 4 years commensurate experience.
- 10+ years of quantitative analysis in the healthcare industry.
- Experience with medical economics, corporate strategy, or a related analytics-driven leadership role.
- Experience with health insurance / payer analytics, with an understanding of medical claims data (e.g., CPT/HCPCS, ICD-10, DRGs) and standard healthcare industry data sources.
Bonus Points
- Business writing and storytelling skills; ability to simplify complex actuarial concepts for executive audiences.
- Familiarity with ACA-specific healthcare dynamics and how they impact external financial reporting.
- Fellow of the Society of Actuaries (SOA), or on the track to become one.

Tips for Your Remote Medical Director Job Search
Tailor your resume for each sector
A medical director resume for a payer role should lead with utilization management and quality metrics, while a health system role calls for clinical program leadership and credentialing experience. Matching your resume's emphasis to the specific sector cuts screening time.
Highlight your board certification clearly
Recruiters and hiring committees scan for board certification status early in the review process. List your specialty, certifying board, and active certification date near the top of your resume so it's never buried under other credentials.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists medical director openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Address administrative experience gaps directly
If you're moving from a purely clinical role, call out any committee leadership, P&L ownership, or quality improvement initiatives you've led. Medical director panels consistently ask about non-clinical management scope, so surfacing it proactively in your application prevents misreads.
Prepare a structured case for your interview
Medical director interviews often include a scenario round asking how you'd handle a physician performance issue or a sudden quality metric drop. Rehearse a concise framework: situation, decision criteria, action taken, outcome measured. Vague answers here stall candidates more than clinical gaps.
Negotiate scope before you negotiate compensation
Medical director offers vary widely in reporting lines, FTE clinical obligations, and decision authority. Clarify what the role actually controls, such as formulary decisions, staffing budgets, or protocol authority, before evaluating the full offer package.
Remote Medical Director Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a remote medical director job?
Target companies that already run distributed teams, since they hire remotely by default and know how to onboard someone they never meet in person. Remote medical director employers screen hard for self-direction and clear written communication on top of the core skills, so show evidence you can own work without someone over your shoulder. Apply to the openings above that match your experience.
Which companies hire remote medical directors?
Companies hiring remote medical directors include Optum, Revolution Medicines, and Centene, based on current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of June 2026. Remote-first firms and large companies running distributed teams post the most remote medical director roles.
Can you get a remote medical director job with no experience?
Yes, but it is harder than an on-site role, because remote work expects you to operate independently from the start. Entry-level remote medical director openings do exist, especially at remote-first companies, and a portfolio of real work helps more than a long resume. Applying broadly to the roles that fit improves your odds.
Do you need a degree for remote medical director jobs?
Not always. Many employers hire remote medical directors on demonstrated skills and prior work rather than a specific degree, though some larger companies still prefer one. Showing relevant results matters more than a credential for most remote medical director roles.
