Senior Brand Designer

Hi, we're Oscar. We're hiring a Senior Brand Designer to join our Brand Experience 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 Brand Designer will work as a member of our small but mighty internal creative team to bring our brand to life and push our visual language. This role will be heavily involved throughout the creative process—from requirements gathering and brainstorming to design crits and production support. With the guidance of our Creative Director and Associate Creative Director, this role will drive their own projects while collaborating with other creatives and marketers to ensure that all deliverables are on strategy and on brand.  

You will report to the Head of Brand.

Oscar is a blended work culture where everyone, regardless of work type or location, feels connected to their teammates, our culture and our mission.

This is a hybrid position in our New York City office (in Hudson Square) and you will be expected to come into the office at least two days each week. #LI-Hybrid
