Vice President, Health Economics and Outcomes Research (HEOR) and Medical Affairs - Prenuvo

About Us

At Prenuvo, we are on a mission to flip the paradigm from reactive "sick-care" to proactive health care. Our award-winning whole body scan is fast (under 1 hour), safe (MRI has no ionizing radiation), and non-invasive (no contrast). Our unique integrated stack of optimized hardware, software, and increasingly AI, coupled with the patient-centric experience of our clinics across North America, have allowed us to lead the charge against "we caught it too late again." Prenuvo operates preventative screening clinics in Vancouver, Silicon Valley, Dallas, Houston, Boca Raton, Minneapolis, Los Angeles, New York City, Buffalo, Bethesda, Chicago, and Atlanta, with more clinics in North America and internationally in the next 2 years.

We are looking for a Vice President, Health Economics and Outcomes Research (HEOR) and Medical Affairs to spearhead efforts in demonstrating the clinical and economic value of our cutting-edge whole-body MRI technology. This leadership role requires a strategic thinker who can craft, execute, and optimize comprehensive HEOR strategies while building key external partnerships to advance the healthcare industry's shift towards proactive, preventive medicine. You will play a critical role in translating scientific data into compelling economic narratives, accelerating product adoption, market access, and eventual reimbursement of Prenuvo's pioneering diagnostic technologies.
