Optum Financial is one of UHG's five strategic pillars. We're highly profitable and growing fast - and that's a great place to be from a career standpoint. We are leading the charge on transforming how health care is financed and paid for. We're a true innovator. We're connecting the way money moves in health care like never before to make health care finances easier for everyone. We're creating an entirely new experience for health and wellness benefits that's launching soon to provide individuals and families with benefits that work seamlessly so they can get the care they need to be well. We're rapidly growing new lending products for doctors and hospitals that have not been seen before in the market. Our aspirations are big.

We need marketers who are hungry, smart and conscientious. Functional passion and expertise matters - we want people who know how to do "their thing" really, really well. Experience and the desire to look outside of health care is essential... we want to elevate health care to a whole new level and that means you know what greatness looks like in your domain.
