Job description

As part of the Community Services Strategy and Planning Management Team, the Management Analyst II will support department-wide data, reporting, systems analysis, and performance measurement efforts. This position will translate complex data into clear, accurate, and actionable information for leadership, program areas, internal stakeholders, county partners, state agencies, and the public.

The Management Analyst II will work across multiple data systems and sources to gather, query, validate, analyze, and interpret information. The position will develop, maintain, and improve Power BI reports, dashboards, data visualizations, and analytical tools used to monitor programs, operations, outputs, outcomes, and service trends. This work requires the ability to navigate unfamiliar databases, understand how data is structured and related, write and troubleshoot queries, identify data quality issues, and prepare data for analysis and reporting.

This position will work closely with divisions to identify data needs, define meaningful metrics, and translate program and business questions into useful measures, analysis, and reporting tools. The analyst will also evaluate current reporting systems and processes, identify opportunities for improvement, and recommend solutions that improve data access, consistency, efficiency, automation, and usability.

In addition to recurring reporting and dashboard responsibilities, this position will support larger data modernization and systems projects involving state agencies, counties, vendors, and cross-functional teams. Because this is a new and evolving role, success requires strong analytical, technical, project coordination, and communication skills, along with curiosity, learning agility, and the ability to independently work through complex or unfamiliar data environments while collaborating effectively with program and leadership partners. The position also requires the ability to balance ongoing reporting responsibilities with longer-term data modernization, systems improvement, and cross-agency initiatives.

Strong attention to accuracy, context, confidentiality, and data integrity is essential, particularly when information is used in leadership, public-facing, or external reports, dashboards, presentations, and other materials.

Community Services offers a hybrid flexible work environment that combines both remote and onsite work. Here at Community Services, we value equity, respect, integrity, innovation, and data-informed decision-making that will drive our work forward and improve outcomes for those we serve. Washington County Community Services is committed to building an equitable and inclusive workforce; we appreciate diverse backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives and strongly believe that diversity not only benefits our programs, but our staff and the people we serve. We look forward to welcoming you and your talents to Community Services!
