About the role

Our mission at Oura is to empower every person to own their inner potential. Our award-winning products help our global community gain a deeper knowledge of their readiness, activity, and sleep quality by using their Oura Ring and its connected app. We've helped millions of people understand and improve their health by providing daily insights and practical steps to inspire healthy lifestyles.

Empowering the world starts with living our values and empowering our team. As a quickly growing company focused on helping people live healthier and happier lives, we ensure that our team members have what they need to do their best work - both in and out of the office.

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.
