Health Economics Jobs
Health economics and outcomes research (HEOR) generates the economic and clinical-outcomes evidence used to justify a drug's price and support reimbursement decisions -- cost-effectiveness models and real-world evidence studies that market access teams then use in payer negotiations.
Common titles include HEOR Analyst, HEOR Manager, Real-World Evidence Scientist, and Director of Health Economics and Outcomes Research. Hiring comes from pharma and biotech HEOR teams as well as specialized HEOR consultancies.
This is one of the smaller, more academically-credentialed functions covered on this site -- most roles require a master's or PhD in health economics, epidemiology, biostatistics, or a related quantitative field, and overall opening volume is lower than most other functions here. The work is analytical and desk-based, so remote arrangements are common.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a health economics job pay?
Pay varies by seniority and academic credentials. Where an employer discloses a salary range, it's shown directly on the individual job listing.
What degree do you need for a HEOR job?
Most roles require a master's or PhD in health economics, epidemiology, biostatistics, or a related quantitative field.
Are health economics jobs remote?
Yes, often -- this is analytical, desk-based work, making it fairly remote-friendly.
How is HEOR different from market access?
HEOR generates the economic and clinical-outcomes evidence; market access uses that evidence, along with pricing strategy and payer relationships, to actually secure reimbursement. The two work closely together but are distinct functions.
