Evaluation & Data Specialist

CATCH Global Foundation (“CATCH”) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering PreK-12 educators, youth, and communities through evidence-based health, wellness, and social-emotional learning programs. Serving schools and communities worldwide, CATCH partners with schools, public agencies, corporations, philanthropies, and community-based organizations to create sustainable, measurable impact on children’s health.

We are a fully remote team with a dynamic, collaborative culture. While originally headquartered in Austin, Texas—where many staff members are still based—CATCH now operates virtually across the United States, coming together periodically for in-person retreats to strengthen relationships and align on mission and strategy.

The Evaluation & Data Specialist is a half-time role responsible for strengthening CATCH’s learning, accountability, and impact through high-quality evaluation and data analysis. This position plays a critical role in managing evaluation of grant-funded and internally driven projects, generating insights from curriculum usage data, and designing and managing program evaluations in partnership with schools and districts.

The Evaluation & Data Specialist brings both analytical rigor and intellectual curiosity, combining strong technical skills with the ability to see the big picture, ask smart questions, and translate data into clear, actionable insights for diverse audiences.

• Conduct evaluation activities for grant-funded projects, including data collection, cleaning, analysis, interpretation, and report preparation.
• Apply appropriate basic inferential statistical methods to assess program outcomes and trends.
• Write clear, accurate, and compelling evaluation reports for funders, partners, and internal stakeholders.
• Collaborate with program and development staff to develop evaluation plans which align with grant requirements and learning goals.

• Identify meaningful patterns, trends, and insights related to program reach, engagement, and implementation.
• Translate technical findings into accessible insights that inform program improvement, strategy, and storytelling.

• Devise evaluation designs for CATCH programs, including defining research questions, measures, instruments, timelines, and data collection approaches.
• Recruit and coordinate participating schools, districts, or partner organizations for evaluation activities.
• Manage evaluation logistics, including data collection processes, communications, and documentation.
• Ensure ethical, accurate, and responsible handling of data throughout the evaluation lifecycle.
