About The Position

This is a unique opportunity to play a key role in strengthening how a human services division uses data to improve outcomes for individuals and families. The Data Integration & Quality Specialist will work closely with program teams to build more consistent, reliable, and meaningful data practices across programs—supporting better decision-making, stronger compliance, and more effective service delivery. This is a hands-on, program-facing role that operates at the intersection of systems, people, and purpose. Success in this role requires the ability to work directly with staff, improve day-to-day data practices, and translate data into clear, actionable insights that support program operations. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys solving real-world challenges, working across teams, and turning data into insight and impact. This role is highly collaborative and program-facing and is not a purely technical or data analyst position.
