About the role

Digital health is transforming MSK care—but without rigorous economic evidence, innovation stalls. As a Senior Health Economist at Hinge Health, you'll architect the analytical strategy that proves our platform's value to the nation's largest health plans and employers. You'll lead high-stakes ROI analyses, mentor junior economists, and shape the research agenda that informs product development and go-to-market strategy.

What they're looking for

  • A Strategic Learn-it-all: You're not just executing studies—you're anticipating what questions the business will need answered in 12 months and building the infrastructure to answer them
  • You actively shape team priorities, not just respond to requests
  • A Master Communicator: You've presented to C-suite executives, defended methodologies to skeptical actuaries, and published in peer-reviewed journals
  • You tailor your message to any audience—from PhDs to sales reps—and always land the key takeaway
  • Accountable Under Pressure: You thrive in fast-paced commercial environments where study deadlines directly impact revenue goals
  • You make pragmatic trade-offs between perfection and speed, always communicating the implications clearly
