Position Summary:

The Director will create trusted, standardized information that strengthens decision-making across clinical care, operations, finance, revenue cycle, workforce, access, market strategy, and growth. This leader will establish enterprise data standards and sources of truth, participate in a cross-functional Data & AI Governance Council, help guide Horizon's data strategy and analytics roadmap, and support AI governance, prioritization, implementation support, and value measurement. This is an enterprise leadership role-not simply a reporting or IT role. The successful candidate will be a builder who can work credibly across executive leadership, physicians, operations, finance, clinical teams, IT, and external partners.

Essential Functions:

• Lead Horizon's enterprise data strategy, governance framework, and multi-year roadmap.
• Establish standards for data definitions, ownership, stewardship, data quality, reporting, and appropriate use.
• Create and maintain a governed enterprise KPI catalog with approved definitions, methodologies, and authoritative data sources.
• Lead the inventory and rationalization of current reports, dashboards, data sources, and analytic processes.
• Participate in the Enterprise Data & AI Governance Council and coordinate data stewards and cross-functional leaders across operational, financial, clinical, and administrative domains.
• Build a scalable decision-support and analytics capability that delivers timely, actionable insight to executive, operational, financial, and clinical leaders.
• Establish a formal intake, prioritization, and service-level process for analytics and reporting requests.
• Lead development of standardized operational KPI dashboards and executive reporting.
• Strengthen analytics for provider productivity and access, labor productivity, revenue cycle, reimbursement, service-line planning, forecasting, pro formas, referral patterns, market share, and strategic growth.
• Partner with IT to define a practical enterprise data architecture and phased roadmap for reporting, business intelligence, integration, and analytics capabilities.
• Serve as a key leader in Horizon's upcoming EMR transition by defining data, reporting, interoperability, governance, and embedded-AI requirements.
• Guide data governance and analytical usability for future CRM implementation in partnership with Marketing/PR and operational leaders.
• Help and implement Horizon's AI strategy, governance framework, policy suite, and phased implementation roadmap.
• Participate in the AI Governance Committee and establish processes for AI use-case intake, approval, monitoring, and value realization.
• Maintain visibility into AI tools, vendors, use cases, risks, approvals, and outcomes.
• Build the Enterprise Data, Analytics & AI function, assess current internal capabilities, and recommend the future-state team structure, staffing plan, and investment priorities.
• Strengthen data literacy and disciplined use of information across leadership teams.

The responsibilities listed above are not all-inclusive; other activities may be required in support of the hospital's goals and objectives.

Position Requirements:

• Master's degree in a relevant field.
• Experience in a hospital, health system, Critical Access Hospital, rural health organization, payer, or similarly complex healthcare environment.
• Experience supporting EMR selection, implementation, optimization, or reporting strategy.
• Experience with enterprise data architecture, business intelligence strategy, or data-platform design.
• Experience with provider productivity, labor productivity, revenue-cycle, reimbursement, forecasting, pro forma, service-line, market-share, and referral analytics.
• Experience establishing AI governance or implementing responsible AI programs.
• Experience with CRM data governance or marketing/patient engagement analytics.

Pay Range:

Pay ranges from $89,366k to $142,985k (rate of pay is based on applicable years of experience)
