Health Economics & Outcomes Research Lead - Health Economics & Outcomes Research

What you will do:

• Quantify the economic value of Oura's healthcare research to help prioritize where evidence investment goes, sizing the opportunities across payer and employer segments.
• Build the economic value case for Oura across healthcare payers and employers, translating clinical and real-world findings into cost, utilization, and workforce outcomes that buyers act on.
• Develop the budget-impact, cost-effectiveness, and ROI models behind that case, building reusable model frameworks that scale as new evidence matures.
• Own the payer- and employer-facing evidence packages that anchor our outcomes research goals, built to withstand payer, employer, and investor scrutiny.
• Partner with research scientists to build economic endpoints into upcoming clinical outcomes research studies, so data collection supports economic analysis.

This is a remote US role.

• A track record generating payer-facing and/or employer-facing economic evidence.
• Fluency interpreting claims-derived cost and utilization data.
• Experience generating real-world evidence in value-based care, care-delivery, primary care, or population-health settings.
