• Demonstrated experience building cost-effectiveness, budget impact, or ROI models (hands-on modeling experience required).
• Experience integrating economic endpoints into clinical study design and collaborating with clinical research teams.
• Experience supporting enterprise, payer, or government-facing evidence discussions.
• Strong quantitative skills, including experience working with large healthcare or real-world datasets.
