Data Analyst

POSITION SUMMARY

Data Analyst

The primary role of the Data Analyst is to ensure accurate and timely processing and preparation of data from a wide range of sources for both public consumption and use in The Data Center’s impactful research and publications. This includes rigorous adherence to research standards and collaboration within a diverse, multi-disciplinary team to validate, analyze, visualize, and publish data.

But beyond these technical functions, Data Analysts are at the heart of most of our data processes. When community members have data needs, filling those requests starts with research and data discovery performed by analysts. Likewise, when our research team starts projects, analysts are key contributors to identifying the literature and critical components that inform the direction of the project. In this and many other ways, Data Analysts help to shape our work and the data we publish to inform critical decisions across New Orleans and southeast Louisiana. Successful applicants will be great critical thinkers who enjoy taking on tough subjects using data, facts, and research to build a more prosperous, inclusive, and sustainable region for everyone.
