Overview
Do you love uncovering stories hidden in data to help shape a culture where decisions are powered by data and analytics?

In this role, you’ll dive deep into data and analytics to surface actionable insights that matter, translate complex findings into clear stories, and empower our leaders to make bold, informed choices. Your work will directly influence strategies that shape the future of the global healthcare workforce, giving you the opportunity to innovate, collaborate and make a lasting impact.

• Structure, clean, and classify AAPC’s existing member, role, and workforce data
• Conduct interviews with employers, educators, and healthcare workforce leaders
• Evaluate and integrate external labor datasets (BLS, ONET, job postings, surveys, etc.)
• Use data to unlock insights and tell stories. Turn complex findings into clear, actionable insights that help guide key business decisions.
• Produce research briefs, role profiles, workforce snapshots, and insights reports
•Build early workforce dashboards using tools like Power BI or Tableau
• Work closely with peers and leaders within AAPC to understand business needs and collaborate on designing impactful and actionable solutions. Lay the groundwork for scalable workforce insights, benchmarks, and data products
• Partner with internal teams and external research partners to define the future of AAPC’s workforce intelligence capability

What You’ve Done
• 4–7 years in workforce analytics, labor economics, healthcare research, healthcare operations, healthcare HR/TA, or applied labor-market analysis
• Experience working with job titles, skills data, workforce datasets, or job posting trends
• Familiarity with external labor datasets (ONET, BLS, Lightcast, proprietary data, etc.)
• Strong conceptual thinking and framework development skills

Who You Are
• Deep interest in healthcare roles, labor markets, skills-based hiring, and workforce development
• Able to analyze messy job-title or skills data and create clean, scalable frameworks
• Curious, analytical, and comfortable structuring ambiguous information
• Strong communicator who enjoys translating findings for non-technical audiences
• Able to be the first member of a growing workforce insights function

Nice-to-Have
• Experience in healthcare workforce research, RCM, allied health roles, coding/billing, staffing, or provider organizations
• Exposure to job classification, competency models, job families, or skills taxonomies
• Knowledge of AAPC’s professional ecosystem (coding, documentation, billing, auditing)
• Ability to build analytical summaries or dashboards (Power BI, Tableau, or similar)
