Senior​/Data Scientist; ACF

Use data to help public-sector program and technology leaders answer complex questions and make informed decisions. The work spans data ingestion, processing, and visualization, with occasional predictive modeling; it also includes building small tools and automations when those are a better fit than a formal analytics solution. Much of the work is consulting-oriented and may begin with an ambiguous request.

• Work directly with senior and program stakeholders to clarify questions, investigate them, and communicate useful findings.
• Prepare data from varied sources and build pipelines and data visualizations for grants and program information.
• Analyze structured and unstructured data to identify patterns, trends, and opportunities.
• Create AI agents and integrate them into workflows, checking that their outputs are useful and reliable.
• Build lightweight tools, prototypes, or automations using AI and low-code platforms when appropriate.
• Collaborate with product, design, engineering, and other specialists; develop models when the problem calls for them.

• Ability to use data strategically: frame questions, surface opportunities, and inform decisions.
• Familiarity with data engineering practices, including cleaning and preprocessing data from multiple sources.
• Ability to select analytical methods and build credible, accessible statistical models.
• Careful handling of privacy and security during analysis.
• Strong communication of data, models, and recommendations to technical and nontechnical audiences.
• Experience with visualization and cross-functional iterative delivery; willingness to build lightweight tools and automations.

• Interest or experience in public policy, public health, human services, grants management, or large unstructured datasets.
