• Experience supporting data requests and reporting needs for cross‑functional teams.
• Understanding of evaluation concepts, program outcomes, or impact measurement.
• Ability to translate technical concepts for non‑technical stakeholders.
• Strong troubleshooting and problem‑solving skills.
• Comfort working in environments where priorities evolve and new challenges arise.
• Experience in nonprofit, startup, education, or workforce development environments is especially valuable.
