The KIPP Texas Finance Team is a high performing department within our School Support Partners (SSP). Our department consists of three teams - Accounting, Business Intelligence, and Financial Planning & Analysis. This role sits on the Business Intelligence Team. Business Intelligence is a highly agile team within KIPP Texas Public Schools with the purpose to rapidly increase the availability of usable, relevant data to all campus and department stakeholders. Our team's focus is to equip leaders with the needed data to drive mission-aligned action and best support our students. KIPP Texas is currently seeking a smart, motivated and experienced data analyst to bring strong problem-solving and analytical skills to a leading charter management organization. KIPP Texas is committed to using data to drive academic, financial, instructional, operational and talent improvement and decision-making. The Data Analyst is critical to KIPP Texas achieving this work.
