Company Overview

We are the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM), an innovative professional medical association located in Darien, IL, a southwest suburb of Chicago. Established in 1975, the AASM is a professional, forward-thinking membership organization dedicated to the advancement of sleep medicine and related research. Our mission is to advance sleep care and enhance sleep health to improve lives. We represent a combined membership of 11,000 accredited member sleep centers and individual members, including physicians, scientists, and other health care professionals.

In pursuit of improving sleep health and promoting high quality patient-centered care for all people, the AASM is dedicated to fostering a culture that is committed to excellence, inclusive, flexible, collaborative, appreciative, supportive, and innovative. We strive to live out these team values each day and are looking for others who would like to do the same.

The health and safety of our valued employees are of the utmost importance to us. A majority of our employees enjoy a hybrid work arrangement, working primarily remote with the option to work in our Darien, Illinois office. In 2022, we'll host four "comeback days" in May and in the fall to get reacquainted with working in person with each other. Employee feedback from these experiences will help us determine a long-term arrangement. As a result, only local candidates will be considered for this position.
