POSITION SUMMARY

The Office of Community Health & Safety (OCHS) is tasked with addressing community needs via innovative programs that combine social services staff and expertise with first-responder partners. These programs seek to support and improve outcomes for individuals who experience extreme poverty, criminal justice involvement, homelessness, mental and behavioral health issues, substance use, and other antecedents to crisis. Critical to this endeavor, the Data Analyst is a 3-year grant funded position under the Bureau of Justice Assistance’s Connect and Protect: Law Enforcement Behavioral Health Response Program.

The Data Analyst (Health & Safety) will primarily be responsible for analyzing and synthesizing data related to Office of Community Health & Safety participants and traditional 9-1-1 responses via calls for service. Crucial to supporting this analysis is an ability to create visualizations that accurately and creatively illustrate the work of OCHS. The Data Analyst will also take a leadership role in coordinating tickets, projects, and design-level updates with our software as a service (SaaS) provider. The Data Analyst will work with the Assistant Director and Program Manager of Operations to map out program evaluation strategies to usher sustainability and accountability for the programs.

The ideal candidate will be a natural collaborator and have a deep interest in utilizing their technical skills to augment our programs’ impact on City of Pittsburgh community members.
