Position Overview

Are you passionate about assessing programs to ensure they deliver measurable impact?

As a Public Health Evaluation Scientist, you will play a pivotal role in shaping our success! You will lead technical components of evaluation projects, provide methodological guidance and independently execute complex research and analysis tasks. You will oversee quality control, documentation, and adherence to timelines and budgets for assigned workstreams. As a strong communicator, you will ensure findings are relayed to senior stakeholders and play an active role in supporting proposal development. This role works with minimal supervision, resolving most issues independently while mentoring junior staff and escalating only the most complex challenges.

While not an exhaustive list, the key duties for the position include:

- Technical Execution: Provides technical oversight of assigned segments of larger evaluations, offering methodological guidance (e.g., on research design and analytical techniques) and independently executing complex data collection and analysis tasks to ensure rigorous, reliable results.
- Communication: Communicates complex evaluation methodologies and findings clearly, briefing senior program leaders on study approaches and outcomes and contributing to proposal development to ensure stakeholders fully understand and buy into project recommendations.
- Schedule and Timelines: Manages timelines for assigned portions of projects, coordinating with team members and adjusting plans as needed to keep evaluation tasks on schedule and aligned with the overall project timeline.
- Quality Management: Oversees data collection, quality control, analysis, and reporting activities, ensuring accuracy, consistency, and methodological rigor in all project deliverables.
- Data Analysis: Designs effective data collection methods (such as surveys or sampling plans) and applies advanced statistical techniques to analyze and interpret data, yielding clear conclusions and actionable insights.
- Financial Management: Ensures efficient use of project resources to complete tasks within allocated budgets, proactively identifying potential overruns and suggesting adjustments when necessary.
- Regulatory and Contractual Compliance: Ensures project activities adhere to all relevant regulatory, ethical, and contractual requirements by applying thorough knowledge of policies, guiding teammates on compliance issues, and confirming that all evaluation procedures meet required standards.
- Documentation: Produces and reviews high-quality technical documentation (e.g., methodologies, reports, and briefs) with minimal oversight, ensuring clarity, accuracy, and completeness, and guides junior team members in proper documentation practices.
- Problem Solving & Continuous Improvement: Independently resolves complex research challenges using innovative problem-solving approaches, contributes to improving team processes and methodologies for greater efficiency, and only escalates the most challenging issues to management.
- Business Relations: Engages with clients and senior stakeholders professionally, building trust by providing expert guidance on evaluation methods and delivering results that meet their needs and expectations.
- Supervision: Works under minimal supervision, handling complex issues independently, consulting the manager only on the most challenging situations, and providing guidance and mentorship to junior team members as needed.
- Performs other job-related duties as assigned.
