Become an Assembler! If you are looking for a company that is focused on being the best in the industry, love being challenged, and make a direct impact on our business, then look no further! We are adding to our motivated team that pride themselves on being client-focused, biased to action, improving together, and insistent on excellence and integrity. Director, Physician Reimbursement Strategy Reports to: Chief Commercial Officer Direct Reports: None Travel: Occasional (client and prospect meetings, industry conferences) Position Summary Assembly is looking for a recognized expert in physician reimbursement to deepen the level of insight we bring to every practice we work with — and every practice considering working with us. This person lives and breathes the mechanics of physician billing: how claims move, why they get denied, where AR quietly ages, and what separates a practice that collects well from one that doesn't. This expertise doesn't sit on a shelf. It shows up in how we diagnose a practice's financial health, how we explain what's really driving their results, and how we demonstrate — with substance, not sales language — that we understand physician reimbursement as well as anyone in the industry. This person works closely with our commercial team, but their value is the depth they bring, not a sales pitch they deliver. Key Responsibilities Reimbursement Expertise & Analysis * Serve as Assembly's senior authority on physician billing and reimbursement, with particular depth in Ophthalmology, Orthopedics, and Pain Management * Analyze a practice's collections reports and AR data to identify what's driving strong performance, what's holding it back, the root causes behind denials, and where and why receivables are aging * Translate complex billing and reimbursement data into clear, accurate explanations that hold up to scrutiny from practice administrators, physicians, and CFOs Client & Prospect Advisory * Participate in client and prospect conversations as a subject-matter expert, providing an honest, substantive assessment of a practice's revenue cycle — not a sales narrative * Support the commercial team in finalist meetings and, where relevant, RFP responses by grounding the conversation in real analysis of the practice's own data * Build long-term credibility with prospective clients by demonstrating genuine command of their specialty's billing complexity Knowledge Development & Thought Leadership * Monitor payer policy changes, regulatory developments, and industry trends affecting physician reimbursement, and translate them into practical implications for practices and for Assembly's internal teams * Develop case studies, white papers, and educational content that reflect Assembly's depth of expertise in physician revenue cycle management * Serve as an internal resource, helping colleagues across the company understand the nuances of specialty-specific billing What it takes to join the team: Required * 8–10 years of hands-on experience in physician billing and revenue cycle management * Deep, demonstrable expertise in denial management, AR aging analysis, and collections reporting * Direct experience with, or strong depth across, Ophthalmology, Orthopedic, and/or Pain Management billing * Ability to read complex financial and collections data and explain it clearly and accurately to non-technical audiences * Strong communication skills; comfortable representing Assembly's expertise directly to practice leadership and physicians * A genuine interest in the mechanics of reimbursement — someone who enjoys understanding why something is happening, not just reporting that it is Preferred * Experience across additional specialties beyond the three noted above * Experience developing case studies, whitepapers, or other content that reflects technical depth * Prior experience working alongside sales or business development teams in a healthcare services or RCM company * Formal billing/coding certification (e.g., CPC, CPB, CPMA) — valued but not a prerequisite What Success Looks Like * Practices and prospects experience this person as a genuine expert who understands their business — not a sales resource * Assembly's reputation for reimbursement expertise strengthens across the client base and the market * A growing body of case studies and thought leadership content that reflects real analytical depth * Colleagues across sales, operations, and client services regularly seek this person out as the authority on physician reimbursement Salary Range $120,000—$140,000 USD Compensation for this role is based on a variety of factors, including but not limited to, skills, experience, qualifications, location, and applicable employment laws. The expected salary range for this position reflects these considerations and may vary accordingly.
