Data Analyst

Reports To: Associate Director of Data Operations

Status: Full-time;
Exempt

Location: Hybrid – Los Angeles (Little Tokyo Office), with occasional travel to the Inland Empire office and to program sites across Core (LA + SGV) and IE regions

Hours of Operation: Monday–Friday, 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM, with flexibility required during reporting cycles

Ideal Candidate: The ideal candidate is a strong analytical thinker who loves translating messy operational data into clean, decision-ready outputs. They are equally rigorous about funder submissions and program leadership dashboards, and they know that the value of analysis is measured by the decisions it enables — not the volume of charts produced. They take ownership of their work, ask sharp clarifying questions, and partner well with the data team, program leaders, and external reporting cycles.

They are detail-oriented without being slow, fluent with tools, and genuinely curious about what data tells them about young people and the programs that serve them. They are not interested in supervising or owning routine data cleanup — they want to build the analysis layer on top of clean data.
