The lead will shape economic endpoints in future research studies and create evidence packages that can withstand payer, employer, and investor scrutiny. Candidates need an advanced relevant degree, 8+ years of HEOR experience, strong claims-data interpretation skills, and demonstrated payer-facing or employer-facing evidence development. Experience in digital health, wearables, digital biomarkers, and published health-economic research is strongly preferred.

Sample interview questions
Describe an economic model you built that influenced a payer, employer, or healthcare buyer decision.

I would explain the decision context, target population, comparator, data sources, model structure, assumptions, and sensitivity analyses. I would then quantify the budget or outcome implications and describe how I converted the findings into a concise evidence package that informed stakeholder discussions or prioritization.

How would you develop a budget-impact and ROI case for a wearable-enabled health intervention when evidence is still maturing?

I would begin with a transparent conceptual model linking engagement and clinical signals to utilization, productivity, and cost outcomes. I would use the strongest available clinical, real-world, claims, and literature inputs; explicitly document uncertainty; and develop scenario and sensitivity analyses so decision-makers can understand both the expected value and the assumptions driving it.

What makes an economic evidence package credible to a payer audience?

Credibility depends on a relevant population and comparator, transparent methods, defensible data sources, clinically meaningful endpoints, and clear treatment of uncertainty. I would also ensure assumptions align with the payer’s operational reality, present sensitivity analyses, and communicate results in a format that is concise, decision-oriented, and reproducible.

How have you incorporated economic endpoints into the design of a clinical or real-world evidence study?

I would partner with clinical, data science, and operational teams early to define the decision questions and required measures. This typically includes utilization, resource use, work-loss or productivity measures where appropriate, patient-reported outcomes, and data elements needed to estimate costs and model longer-term value.

How would you communicate a complex cost-effectiveness analysis to an executive audience that is not technically specialized?

I would lead with the business decision, the core value conclusion, and the few assumptions that matter most. I would use clear visuals and scenario-based results, reserve technical detail for appendices, and explain uncertainty plainly so executives can act without losing confidence in the analytical rigor.

  • A track record generating payer-facing and/or employer-facing economic evidence.
  • Fluency interpreting claims-derived cost and utilization data.
