• Develop High-Impact Visualizations: Design interactive reports and dashboards covering exam results, teacher performance, and scholar readiness, clearly communicating underlying trends and operational risks.

• Establish Analytical Methodologies: Formulate structured, statistically sound methodologies to resolve ambiguous network questions, such as fairly ranking school performance across varied assessment profiles.

• Validate and Refine Source Data: Extract raw data exports, oversee AI-assisted data cleaning and deduplication, and rigorously QA every metric against source systems.

• Synthesize Executive Takeaways: Distill technical analysis into concise, plain-English summaries and strategic recommendations tailored for senior network leaders.

• Drive Cross-Functional Alignment: Partner with internal data and learning teams to acquire critical metrics and present actionable insights directly to executive leadership.

• High proficiency in AI-native analysis workflows and tools (e.g., Cursor or similar AI-assisted coding/data toolkits).

• Exceptional communication skills with a track record of presenting complex analytical concepts clearly to executive stakeholders.

• Strong visual design instincts for building simple, high-clarity dashboards and reports.

• Bachelor’s degree, or an equivalent combination of education and relevant quantitative experience (non-traditional technical backgrounds welcome).
