The Manager, Insight Outcomes and Real-World Evidence will help build and execute the clinical outcomes, registry, and evidence-generation strategy for ATEC's Insight platform. This role is responsible for translating Insight's clinical and business objectives into practical study plans, patient-reported outcomes workflows, investigator engagement, evidence outputs, and cross-functional execution that support clinical adoption, reimbursement strategy, payer-facing evidence, regulatory needs, and commercial differentiation.
This position is intended for a hands-on clinical evidence leader who can operate across Scientific Affairs, Regulatory, Marketing, Commercial Teams, and external clinical sites. The role will focus on building an outcomes infrastructure that supports Insight as a clinical intelligence and value-generation platform, not simply a software tool.
Essential Duties and Responsibilities- Lead the development and execution of the Insight evidence strategy, aligning real-world evidence, outcomes research, and value evidence with product innovation, clinical adoption, reimbursement, publication, and commercial objectives.
- Identify evidence gaps and define research priorities that demonstrate the clinical, operational, and economic value of Insight-enabled spine care.
- Partner with Marketing, Scientific Affairs, Regulatory Affairs, and Commercial teams to ensure evidence generation supports strategic business priorities and future product claims.
- Oversee the development and adoption of the real-world evidence platform by integrating clinical registries with patient-reported outcomes, imaging, EHRs, activity monitoring, healthcare claims, coding databases, and other relevant data sources.
- Establish scalable processes for data collection, quality, governance, and longitudinal outcomes tracking to support clinical research, benchmarking, and advanced analytics.
- Develop evidence assets that enable providers, hospitals, and payers to evaluate clinical performance, operational efficiency, patient recovery, and economic value.
- Design and oversee observational studies, registry analyses, and outcomes research that generate evidence supporting clinical utility, healthcare economics, reimbursement, and value-based care.
- Independently drive collaboration with internal and external research partners to translate real-world data into actionable insights, predictive analytics, publications, and scientific presentations.
- Support the development of value dossiers, reimbursement evidence, and health economic analyses for providers, health systems, and payers.
- Build and maintain collaborative relationships with investigators, clinical sites, academic partners, and professional societies to expand Insight evidence generation and scientific engagement.
- Support investigator-initiated research and multicenter collaborations that strengthen the clinical and economic evidence supporting Insight technologies.
SUPERVISORY RESPONSIBILITIESThis role may not initially have direct reports. The position requires strong cross-functional influence and day-to-day coordination of internal contributors, clinical sites, investigators, vendors, and external partners. Direct people management responsibilities may be added as the Insight evidence program scales.
