About Texas 2036

Texas 2036 is a nonprofit public policy organization building long-term, data-driven strategies to improve the lives and opportunities of all Texans. We are a dynamic, rapidly growing organization seeking energetic individuals passionate about identifying and developing data-driven, pragmatic solutions to address the critical issues that matter most to all Texans.

About the Role

The Texas 2036 Data and Research Department ensures that the organization’s work is grounded in credible, disciplined evidence that informs policy development, legislative decision-making, and public understanding of the future of Texas. The team conducts applied research, analyzes complex datasets and translates findings into clear insights for policymakers, stakeholders and the public.

Texas 2036 seeks a Data & Systems Analyst to strengthen the data infrastructure that supports research and analysis across the organization. This role focuses on building and maintaining reliable data workflows, improving reproducibility and enabling the efficient use of shared datasets and recurring data products in collaboration with research analysts and other teams.

Responsibilities

Design and maintain reproducible data workflows that enable analysts and policy staff to access reliable, well-documented datasets for ongoing research and analysis.
Support research analysts and policy teams in preparing datasets for analysis, visualization and reporting.
Contribute to the development of recurring data products and indicators used in Texas 2036 publications and communications.
Develop and maintain data pipelines and shared datasets that support recurring insight products and organizational access to trusted information.
Automate data collection, cleaning, and transformation processes for commonly used datasets.
Identify opportunities to better leverage existing datasets and integrate new data sources that strengthen Texas 2036’s analytical capacity.
Improve documentation, version control, and data governance practices to support transparency, reproducibility and institutional knowledge.
Collaborate with research, policy, and communications teams to ensure data outputs are accurate, consistent and maintainable.
Collaborate with external vendors and technical partners supporting data tools, visualizations, and analytical infrastructure.
Evaluate and implement emerging data and analytical tools — including AI-assisted workflows — that improve data processing, documentation and analytical efficiency.
Perform all other duties as assigned to support the overall mission and goals of Texas 2036.

Qualifications

Bachelor’s Degree (Master’s preferred) in data science, statistics, economics, public policy or administration, quantitative social science, or a related field; or equivalent professional experience.
5+ years of experience working with large, statewide or archival datasets in applied research, informatics, business intelligence or analytics or data infrastructure roles.
Experience with managing, harmonizing, and fuzzy or probabilistic matching for large or complex datasets and building analysis ready data workflows or pipelines.
Demonstrable proficiency with data analysis and statistical programming using tools such as Stata, Python, R, or similar platforms.
Experience automating data cleaning, transformation, reporting and analysis.
Experience creating clear data visualizations and analytical outputs for non-technical audiences.
Strong organizational and documentation skills, including attention to data quality and reproducibility.
Ability to collaborate effectively with analysts, policy professionals, and other non-technical stakeholders.
Ability to manage multiple projects and shifting priorities in a fast-paced policy environment.
Intellectual curiosity, sound judgment, humility, and commitment to high-quality, transparent data practices.
Desire to see Texas be the best place to live, work, and raise a family through 2036 and beyond.

Preferred Qualifications

Experience working with SQL and extracting data via APIs.
Experience using version control (Git or similar) for reproducible, collaborative workflows for statistical programming code.
Familiarity working with public sector or socioeconomic datasets (e.g., U.S. Census/ACS, BLS, Texas state education, health or workforce data).

Location

The Data & Systems Analyst will be expected to be in the Austin office a minimum of two days per week, with additional in-office collaboration as needed. Additional hours outside of standard office hours may be necessary during business peaks, particularly during the state legislative sessions. Occasional travel within Texas may be required for project meetings or organizational events but is expected to be limited (less than 20%).

Employees are eligible for a comprehensive benefits package, including health, vision, and dental insurance with employee premiums paid by Texas 2036, a cell phone stipend, and a 401K matching program.
