What is health economics?

Health economics is a field of study that focuses on how healthcare resources are allocated, including the costs, behaviors, and outcomes associated with healthcare services and products. It examines the efficiency, effectiveness, value, and behavior in the production and consumption of health and healthcare. Health economists analyze data to help inform policy decisions, improve healthcare delivery, and ensure that resources are used in a way that maximizes public health benefits. Their work can influence everything from insurance policy to pharmaceutical pricing and public health interventions.

What are some typical challenges faced by professionals in Health Economics when working with healthcare data?

Professionals in Health Economics often encounter challenges such as inconsistent data quality, limited access to comprehensive datasets, and variations in coding and reporting standards across healthcare providers. Interpreting real-world evidence and ensuring data privacy compliance can also be complex. Collaborating with multidisciplinary teams—including clinicians, data scientists, and policy makers—helps address these challenges and ensures robust, actionable economic analyses.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in Health Economics, and why are they important?

To thrive in Health Economics, you need a strong background in economics, statistics, and public health, often supported by a relevant degree such as a master's or PhD. Proficiency with statistical analysis software (like Stata, R, or SAS), health economic modeling tools, and familiarity with health care databases is essential. Strong analytical thinking, communication skills, and the ability to translate complex data into actionable insights set outstanding professionals apart. These skills are crucial for informing policy, guiding healthcare decisions, and demonstrating the value of health interventions in a data-driven environment.

Job description

Health Economics Solutions Manager - Western US
Health Economics Solutions Manager
Field-Based | Candidates should reside in Western US (Major Metro / Airport Hub Preferred)
As we continue to expand our Strategic Accounts & Health Economics (SAHE) function, we are adding a Health Economics Solutions Manager to help elevate the economic and clinical value of our wound care portfolio across health systems, IDNs, and GPO partners in the Western US.
The Opportunity
The Health Economics Solutions Manager (HESM) serves as a strategic, customer-facing partner to hospitals and integrated delivery networks, engaging at both the facility and system level. This role blends health economics expertise, real-world evidence generation, and executive-level storytelling to help customers achieve measurable improvements in outcomes, quality metrics, and financial performance.
This is not an entry-level health economics role. We are seeking a professional with real-world healthcare experience who can collaborate cross-functionally, lead without authority, and credibly engage mid- to senior-level stakeholders (including C-suite and service line leadership).
Why This Role
  • Engage at the mid- to executive-level within leading healthcare systems
  • Be part of a growing, highly visible team expanding Mölnlycke's value-based impact
  • Influence care delivery beyond products-helping customers solve real, system-level problems
  • Work in a collaborative environment that values expertise, initiative, and partnership

What You'll Do
  • Partner with IDNs, health systems, GPOs, and National Accounts to deliver evidence-based economic and clinical value strategies
  • Translate clinical and operational challenges (e.g., pressure injury prevention, HAC reduction, value-based purchasing requirements) into data-driven solutions
  • Develop and deliver health economic tools such as budget impact models, ROI analyses, and total value scorecards
  • Collaborate closely with Sales, Marketing, Clinical, Finance, and Strategic Accounts to support system-level value messaging and contracting discussions
  • Co-create real-world evidence with customers to validate outcomes and strengthen long-term partnerships
  • Serve as a health economics subject matter expert, contributing to customer presentations, thought leadership, RFP/RFI support, and educational initiatives
  • Represent Mölnlycke at key industry conferences and strategic customer engagements

What We're Looking For
We are open to diverse backgrounds, with a strong preference for candidates who bring real-world healthcare experience and have operated in complex, matrixed environments.
Required Qualifications
  • Bachelor's degree in healthcare, nursing, health policy, health administration, business, or related field
  • 6+ years of experience in a customer-facing healthcare role within medical devices, pharmaceuticals, healthcare consulting, or related industry
  • Experience engaging hospital and system-level stakeholders on outcomes, economics, reimbursement, or quality initiatives
  • Strong understanding of value-based care frameworks, CMS regulations, and acute/post-acute healthcare environments
  • Ability to analyze healthcare data and translate it into clear, compelling value narratives
  • Comfortable leading through influence and collaborating across multiple internal teams

Strongly Preferred
  • Experience in wound care, surgical care, or patient safety initiatives
  • Background in health economics, market access, outcomes research, quality improvement, or healthcare consulting
  • Clinical background (e.g., nursing) with progression into leadership, quality, or system-level roles
  • Familiarity with IDN decision-making, value analysis committees, and hospital financial structures

Additional Details
  • Travel: Up to ~50% domestic travel
  • Location: Field-based; proximity to a major airport required
  • Work Style: Highly collaborative, fast-paced, and cross-functional

Compensation & Benefits:
The salary range for this role is $120,000 - $158,00 annually; this role is eligible for an annual bonus & car reimbursement.
The posted salary range includes multiple geographic locations. Final compensation will be determined based on location, experience, and internal equity, and aligned with local market ranges
Beyond competitive pay, Mölnlycke Health Care offers comprehensive benefits package designed to support your health, financial well-being, and work-life harmony.
  • Medical, dental and vision plans are available from your first day of employment and provide extensive coverage through multiple options so you can find the right fit for you and your family.
  • Financial benefits include a robust 401(k) plan with company match, profit sharing, tuition reimbursement, life insurance and both flexible spending accounts and health savings accounts.
  • Molnlycke offers generous paid time off, paid parental leave, an Employee Assistance Program and lifestyle perks like discounted access to entertainment and travel.
