Careers at OHE

We’re seeking a freelance data visualisation designer to support two 2026 research programmes, with additional ad-hoc work expected. Engagement is flexible and project-based, running through 2026. 

About us 

We are a health economics research charity seeking external support to strengthen how we present research findings through data visualisation. Much of our work involves complex datasets, policy analysis, and cross-country comparisons. We are looking for a provider who can translate these insights into clear, engaging visuals suitable for reports, presentations, and public-facing outputs. 

The work will primarily focus on the two research programmes below. Additional ad-hoc projects may also arise during the year — see Additional opportunities. 

Projects 

M42 prevention study 

The M42 prevention study includes multi-country survey data, the development of a prevention index, country archetypes, and associated narrative insights. The outputs require clear visual presentation of cross-country comparisons, patterns in the data, and frameworks that summarise findings. 

US policy series 

The US policy series examines major pharmaceutical policy developments in the United States, including initiatives such as the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and Most Favoured Nation (MFN) pricing proposals. These outputs involve explaining complex policy mechanisms and illustrating potential impacts on markets, pricing, and access to medicines. 

Scope of work 

Core deliverables 

• Develop visually engaging charts and graphs to present survey results and cross-country comparisons. 

• Produce infographics that summarise key findings or country insights in a concise and accessible format. 

• Create conceptual diagrams (e.g. frameworks, process flows, or “ripple effect” diagrams) that explain policy mechanisms and relationships between system components. 
  

Ways of working 

• Recommend appropriate visual formats for different types of research findings. 

• Develop simple visual styles or templates to support consistency across outputs. 

• Work collaboratively with the research and communications teams to translate complex content into clear visual formats. 

Output formats 

Visualisations will be used across multiple formats, including reports, slide decks, policy briefings, and online outputs. 

Timeline 

Work is expected to begin in the Q2 2026 and will align with the delivery timelines of the two research programmes. Specific milestones and scheduling will be agreed beforehand. 

Budget 

Budget will be allocated across projects during 2026 depending on the scope of work required. We are looking for a flexible approach that allows visualisation support across multiple outputs. 

Brand and technical requirements 

Brand assets: Style guide, fonts, colour palette, and logo will be supplied along with full brand guidelines. 

Software and file formats: We are flexible on preferred design tools but usually work with a mix of Illustrator, Canva, Flourish, and PowerPoint. 

Additional opportunities 

There may also be opportunities to support other projects during the year, including: 

• Infographics for major research publications 

• Visual storytelling for policy audiences 

• Interactive data visualisations (e.g. using tools such as Flourish or similar platforms) 

How to apply 

To express your interest, please send the following to Julia Toth at jtoth@ohe.org: 

• A short statement of interest outlining your experience and why you’re a good fit for this work 

• A portfolio or relevant work samples

Submission deadline: 15 May 2026. We aim to begin interviews from 20 May 2026. Please read the full job description here.

OHE’s work covers a broad range of analyses into the economics and policy of four related areas: 

• Economics of innovation – for example, understanding how new pricing models can affect innovation and speed up patient benefit 
• Measuring and valuing outcomes – for example, valuing health using stated preference techniques such as discrete choice experiments 
• Value, affordability and decision-making – for example, assessing the value of health care through the use of cost-effectiveness thresholds 
• Policy, organisation and incentives in health systems – for example, assessing how incentives, payments and reimbursement mechanisms can influence health care 

delivery, behaviours and performance or the effect of digital healthcare technologies on health outcomes 

The main purpose of the role is to undertake and present analyses on topics in one or more of our areas of specialism. This involves working with OHE colleagues, clients, collaborators and external stakeholders.

• have good time management skills and an ability to efficiently prioritise and deliver tasks; 
• be capable of establishing good work relationships with colleagues and clients; 
• have the ability to work individually and as part of a team. 

While we are primarily interested in hiring at the Graduate Economist level, we welcome enquiries by other motivated candidates with relevant experience and academic qualifications.

Company Benefits
