We are looking for a Health Economics & Outcomes Research (HEOR) Lead to own the economic evidence layer of our clinical outcomes research. In this role reporting to the Director of Clinical Outcomes Research, you will translate Oura's clinical and real-world evidence into defensible economic value for payers and employers and produce the evidence packages that support our healthcare growth.
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.
• Ability to make rigorous economic work clear and credible to a range of audiences.
• Strong cross-functional collaboration skills.

Strongly preferred:

• Experience with wearable, digital health, or digital biomarker data.
• Published or presented economic research (for example ISPOR, Value in Health, or JMCP), or built payer-grade evidence dossiers.
