We are seeking an experienced and resourceful data expert to serve as our first Data Analyst and Visualization Manager—a full-time position.

From the water we drink to the air we breathe, we know our health is tied to the quality of our environment.

Our Data Analyst and Visualization Manager will be at the center of these exciting efforts. You will analyze data sets to support our evidence-based advocacy approach and create data visualization tools like graphs, charts, maps, infographics, and GIS mapping. Your work will help us present critical data in an accessible way to tell the story of pollution, climate change and public health in Wisconsin.

We anticipate that about 50% of this position will be devoted to supporting Clean Wisconsin’s science department as it analyzes and translates data to be shared with affected communities. The other 50% will be spent creating materials to support advocacy goals at the local, state and federal levels and creating content for our website, social media, and other communications. Our Data Analyst and Visualization Manager will report to the science program director.

Clean Wisconsin is committed to diversity, equity and inclusion in our work and in our hiring practices.

• Computer-based environmental modeling experience (e.g., air quality or water quantity modeling) is preferred, along with willingness to develop skills in this area.
• Experience working with data sets pertaining to environmental issues and risks to public health.
• Basic understanding of environmental scientific concepts sufficient to perform data analysis under the direction of science program staff.
