Responsibilities
- Turn ambiguous stakeholder requests into clearly defined, answerable analytical questions
- Source, combine, clean, and analyze public, administrative, and internal datasets
- Evaluate data quality, missingness, sampling issues, outliers, margins of error, and other limitations before drawing conclusions
- Apply statistical methods such as regression, hypothesis testing, sampling, and weighting where appropriate
- Identify confounding factors and clearly communicate what the data does and does not support
- Build clean, reproducible analytical workflows using R, Python, Stata, or similar tools
- Translate complex findings into concise recommendations, decision memos, and visuals for non-technical stakeholders
- Partner directly with program leaders, public agencies, and community stakeholders to influence resource allocation, program design, and strategy
- Use AI-assisted tools across research, coding, and QA while independently validating the methodology and final conclusions
Skills

- Hands-on experience working with messy, complex datasets , ideally including public, administrative, healthcare, policy, demographic, or other real-world data
- Fluency in at least one analytical programming language such as R, Python, or Stata
- Experience creating reproducible, well-documented analytical workflows
- Strong written and verbal communication skills, particularly translating technical analysis for non-technical decision-makers
- A consultative mindset: you're comfortable receiving an unclear question, figuring out what the stakeholder •actually• needs to know, and independently determining how to answer it
- Experience in one or more of the following would be particularly valuable:
- Program evaluation / impact evaluation • causal inference • quasi-experimental methods • health outcomes or HEOR • economic or quantitative consulting • public policy analytics • geographic/spatial analysis • demographic analysis • government or nonprofit analytics
