PROJECT SUMMARY:
The Executive Office of Health and Human Services Data Office is seeking a Data Analyst to join its growing
team. The Data Office is leading a central Data Modernization program that will include new central data
capabilities, as well as improvements and coordination with its 12 constituent agencies, such as the
Department of Public Health and the Department of Mental Health. Under the direction of the Director of
Data Strategy and working closely with Agency teams and the EHS Strategy Office, the Data Analyst will
support the creation of analytics and dashboards to monitor Secretariat initiatives and outcomes. The initial
focus will be on aggregate Key Performance Indicators from various Agencies. As the program matures, there
will be opportunities to dive deeper with data, combining data from multiple EHS agencies to create a fuller
picture of the health of the constituents of Massachusetts and how EOHHS is engaging with them and
delivering services. In the first 6 months of the project, the team will be working to create a shared Enterprise
Data Platform and to define and understand the KPIs from EHS agencies. Team members will engage directly
with Agency teams to understand their technical landscape, business objectives, and gaps in current data
capabilities. As the program matures, data from various sources will be integrated into the Enterprise Data
Platform and attention will shift to be more stable, production-ready delivery of dashboards using Snowflake
& Tableau
POSITION SUMMARY:
The Data Analyst will support the Data Office in its efforts to implement a new central Data
modernization program. The Data Analyst will provide input on best practices and potential efficiencies,
work on multiple assignments concurrently to meet aggressive due dates. The Data Analyst will use a
range of expert technical skills based on a keen knowledge of data and analytic concepts, and must be
proficient with SQL, Python, R, Snowflake, SharePoint, Tableau and/or other Business Intelligence &
Programming Tools. This resource needs to have hands on experience analyzing and interpreting complex
data needs to develop solutions that improve decision making and operational efficiency. This resource
will also be responsible for providing subject matter expertise in the development of requirements as
agencies transition to the data modernization program. In the initial stages of the engagement, the
Analyst will be expected to work with data from multiple disparate sources to meet reporting goals. This
will be data of varying completeness and quality from systems such as EHRs, enrollment platforms, and
operations applications. As the Enterprise Data Platform matures and more data is integrated and
improved, the Analyst will use their schools to generate data sets and analysis based on objects in
Snowflake. The ideal candidate is comfortable in a maturing landscape and is able to use their data skills
and business understanding to answer questions with imperfect systems.
