- Run the solicitation process
- Project manage client projects

You will work with the team to think up and test analytical and evaluation approaches to best meet the business need. You will conduct user research to ensure the success of any analytic products developed. You will roll up your sleeves and help out on analytics.
Our solicitation model is based in part on successful work existing team members did in San Francisco with DataScienceSF. You will thoughtfully pilot, modify, and iterate on this prior foundation for the state context. You will flex your strategic thinking muscles to:
- Analyze the service as a whole and the organization context of the state
- Identify opportunities for process improvements and scalability
In any engagement, you will center an empathetic and ethical approach. CalData works across all departments in the state, with data that reaches all Californians. You will find the problems and challenges we engage with needs the heart as much as the mind. You are able to connect with clients of varying levels of technical ability. You empathetically inquire about and understand the experiences of those impacted by data collection and its use.
