About the Role

The Health Economist will lead and perform a variety of health economic analyses to demonstrate the impact of Hinge Health programs/products on members and clients and to support strategic decisions about company performance, growth and sustainability. The Health Economist works with stakeholders including external clients (e.g., health plan analysts and actuaries) and internal departments (e.g., client success, marketing and commercial teams) to design, conduct and manage high quality, rigorous claims based cost studies. The Health Economist communicates clearly in presentations, reports and articles about analytic methods and results and easily engages with technical staff and laypersons.
