• Experience collaborating with third-party evaluators, university research partners, and/or external data sources.
• Strong organizational and project management skills, with attention to detail and a focus on building durable processes beyond a single grant or staff member.
• Proven ability to work independently and cross-departmentally to define measurable success and ensure data serves multiple parts of CAP.
