You will collaborate with internal leaders, investigators, key opinion leaders, and external research partners to generate evidence capable of influencing reimbursement decisions, clinical adoption, health technology assessments, and healthcare policy across U.S. and global markets. Key Responsibilities  Health Economic Modeling & Value Demonstration: Lead the development, validation, and application of health economic models, including budget impact, cost-effectiveness, cost-utility, cost-consequence, ROI, decision-tree, Markov/state-transition, partitioned-survival, and other economic models. Develop scenario and sensitivity analyses that quantify the clinical and economic value of precision diagnostics across different payer and healthcare-system perspectives.  Clinical Development & HEOR Evidence Strategy: Partner with Clinical Development, Medical Affairs, Biostatistics, and other cross-functional teams to integrate HEOR objectives into prospective clinical studies, including healthcare resource utilization, economic endpoints, patient-reported outcomes, quality-of- life measures, cost-data collection, and real-world evidence strategies. Ensure evidence-generation plans anticipate future payer, reimbursement, and HTA requirements.  Real-World Evidence & Outcomes Research: Analyze clinical-trial, observational, and real-world datasets to evaluate healthcare resource utilization, cost of care, treatment pathways, diagnostic utilization, clinical utility, comparative effectiveness, patient outcomes, survival, budget impact, and quality-adjusted life years. Translate findings into actionable evidence supporting clinical, payer, and business decisions.  Publication & Scientific Evidence Leadership: Lead HEOR publication strategy and development of peer-reviewed manuscripts, scientific abstracts, conference posters, oral presentations, white papers, and technical reports. Coordinate publication plans and timelines with investigators, key opinion leaders, academic collaborators, and external research partners to ensure evidence generation is aligned with strategic business priorities.  Market Access & Payer Evidence: Partner with Market Access, Medical Affairs, Marketing, and Commercial teams to translate HEOR evidence into payer value propositions, budget impact summaries, value dossiers, reimbursement materials, health economic briefs, health-system value calculators, account- specific economic tools, and other evidence-based value communications.  Global HEOR Strategy: Develop and adapt health economic evidence and payer models for the U.S. and international markets, including Europe, Japan, Canada, Australia, and other priority geographies. Support reimbursement submissions and evidence strategies aligned with HTA and payer requirements across heal
