DIR is seeking a detail-oriented and technically skilled Data Analyst to support the preparation and delivery of high-quality data products for our clients. This role supports a range of projects, including federal and state program evaluations, survey design and data collection efforts, performance measurement and reporting systems, and technical assistance initiatives. The Data Analyst will work with complex, multi-source datasets to support data validation, analysis, and reporting activities that inform policy, program management, and research objectives.

This role is responsible for supporting the processing, validation, and documentation of data and for collaborating with project teams to ensure data are accurate, well-structured, and usable for downstream analysis and reporting. The ideal candidate has experience with data programming languages (such as SAS, R, Python, or SQL), strong attention to detail, and the ability to clearly communicate data processes and findings to both technical and non-technical audiences. Experience with SAS is highly preferred given its use across DIR projects, but candidates with strong programming fundamentals and the ability to learn new tools quickly are encouraged to apply. The role also requires the ability to effectively leverage AI tools to support data processing, documentation, and quality assurance tasks, using sound judgment and project guidance to validate outputs and ensure accuracy. Experience with data reporting and visualization tools and prior work with government agencies or large nonprofit organizations are preferred.

Requires sitting, standing, and bending and a normal range of hearing and vision.
