About the role
- Lead the development of rigorous economic analyses to quantify the impact of Twin’s model on healthcare costs, utilization, and outcomes.
- Apply and interpret robust analytic methods including difference-in-differences analyses, quasi-experimental designs, longitudinal outcomes evaluation, and actuarial-style cost modeling.
- Translate clinical and utilization outcomes into defensible estimates of total cost of care impact and return on investment (ROI).
- Ensure modeling frameworks align with how payer actuarial and medical economics teams evaluate vendor interventions and population health programs.
- Maintain and evolve the economic models that underpin Twin’s ROI methodology, payer evaluations, and strategic insights.
- Participate in payer and employer discussions to explain and defend Twin’s methodology for calculating PMPM (Per Member Per Month) savings, cost offsets, and ROI.
- Partner with commercial and market access teams to translate economic findings into clear value narratives for health plans and self-insured employers.
- Support development of payer-facing materials including economic evidence summaries, value dossiers, and executive briefing content.
- Provide analytical guidance during strategic evaluations with benefit consultants, employer coalitions, and payer actuarial teams.
- Design and maintain credible economic and actuarial models used for payer evaluation, strategic analysis, and external publications.
- Ensure models are transparent, defensible, and aligned with industry expectations for total cost of care analysis across Commercial and Medicare Advantage populations.
- Translate modeling outputs into strategic insights that inform internal planning, payer engagement, and market positioning.
- Lead the development of economic and outcomes analyses that strengthen the evidence base supporting Twin’s clinical and financial impact.
- Serve as lead author or key contributor on peer-reviewed publications focused on the economic and clinical impact of metabolic health interventions.
- Develop white papers, market briefs, and executive perspectives aligned with Twin’s evidence and thought leadership agenda.
- Analyze large-scale claims datasets (e.g., MarketScan, Optum, CMS LDS) to identify patient populations and utilization patterns relevant to Twin’s model.
- Other duties as assigned.
