Careers at Surest, part of the UnitedHealthcare family of businesses. At Bind, we work to make health insurance personal with the clarity, flexibility and power people deserve. We took the old model of health insurance apart and are rebuilding it from floor to ceiling, from studs to rafters. We're not iterating a tired design or nudging a change-resistant industry, we're delivering what people want now – clear prices, timely support, personal choice, flexibility and an intuitive experience. Help build different and make a difference by doing your life’s best work.(sm)

Surest™, A UnitedHealthcare Company, (formerly Bind) provides a new approach to health benefits designed to make it easier and more affordable for people to access health care services. Our innovative company is part tech start-up, part ground-breaking service delivery–changing the way benefits serve customers and consumers to deliver meaningful results and better outcomes (and we have just begun). We understand our members and employers alike desire a user-friendly, intuitive experience that puts people in control when it comes to the choices they make and the costs they pay for medical care, and we are seeking team members to continue to advance our vision. At Surest, we pride ourselves in our ability to make a difference, and with the backing of our parent company, UnitedHealthcare, we can operate in the best of both worlds—the culture and pace of an innovative start-up with big company support and stability. Come join the Surest team (we just changed our name from Bind to Surest) and help us design and deliver a cutting-edge health benefit that changes the face of healthcare.
