  • Expert analytical skills, demonstrating a mastery of Python or R, SQL, and either Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets

Qualifications - Preferred:

Candidates should have a demonstrated history of infusing the following traits into their work:

  1. Curiosity - We need people to help our organization drive improvement. We feel that this requires a healthy desire to discover how and why things work the way they do. We also want candidates to be able to look for those explanations in data.
  2. Quantitative Orientation – Some people think that everything is measurable, that all information can have a more precise and reliable measurement. This is who we want on our team; someone whose approach to everything is rigorous, inquisitive, and analytical.
  3. Persistence – You will have to deal with messy datasets and new and evolving problems in an operation that is learning how to use data effectively. We need you to be able to work through a problem until it is solved, not until you reach a road block.
  4. Vision – This role is about more than just using quantitative skills to answer other people’s questions. We need someone who can help identify problems and opportunities, and who knows how to ask the right questions to address them.
  5. Technical Skills – If quantitative orientation is about a candidate’s will to use data, this trait is about the skill. We need someone who is trained in computer science, statistics, mathematics, and/or economics. But we also want someone who is constantly acquiring technical skills and understands the value of a multidisciplinary approach to problem solving.
  6. Teamwork – We believe that excellent teams, composed of high-performing team members, can have an enormous impact. New team members are valued for their diverse experiences and commitment to service. They must also continuously seek input from a diverse set of perspectives and think critically about the impact of their work.
  7. Communication – This is one of the most important skills to have when working in a team environment. Being able to clearly convey your thoughts/ideas to any audience is vital to the success of this position. We need someone who can explain highly technical things to anyone.
