About The Position

Icon Health is a leading provider of value-based musculoskeletal (MSK) care, partnering with health plans and risk-bearing providers to improve outcomes and reduce total cost of care. Our model integrates technology-enabled MSK providers, proactive care coordination, and data-driven decision support to deliver high-quality, evidence-based care to patients across markets. We believe patients should be genuinely delighted with their care experience. We are building a model that can transform a fragmented healthcare system into one that works better for everyone—especially patients and their clinical teams. We value team members who thrive in vertically integrated environments where ideas move quickly from concept to action, and where no task is too big or too small if it contributes to better outcomes. Our teams thrive in environments where data informs decisions, collaboration is the default, and impact is tangible. We are seeking a Director of Analytics to lead and scale our analytics function with a primary focus on performance reporting, value-based insights, and decision support. This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who enjoys both setting direction and building alongside their team. You will serve as a critical partner to clinical, product, operations, and payer stakeholders — ensuring we measure what matters, understand performance drivers, and translate data into clear actions that improve care delivery and contract outcomes. You’ll work closely with engineering to shape data pipelines and ensure analytics is reliable, scalable, and trusted, while also representing Icon in analytical conversations with client partners.
