Job description

Introduction

The Alliance of Community Assistance Ministries, Inc. (ACAM) is a nonprofit management support organization fostering innovative collaboration through a diverse network of 100 nonprofit and community organizations to advance community-wide solutions through collaboration to strengthen the social safety net in Harris, Fort Bend, Waller, Brazoria, Galveston, and Montgomery Counties. ACAM’s 15 Core Members are public charities that share “assisting those in crisis” as a central part of their missions and are uniquely positioned to identify, engage, and provide critical services to at-risk families. They collectively serve over 340,000 individuals annually with more than 8 million units of 175 unique services and have established reputations as leaders in providing exemplary and compassionate services. ACAM assists network partners through high-impact collaboration, training, and management support services as they provide opportunities for families and individuals to meet and rise above their basic needs.

ACAM acts as the coordinating agency for the Greater Houston Opportunity Youth Collaborative (GHOYC), a regional coordinated effort working to create positive outcomes for young adults disconnected from education and career pathways (Opportunity Youth). GHOYC does not focus on providing direct services to young adults but rather supports, strengthens, and highlights the work of organizations who do. GHOYC works to foster collaboration and systemic change by:

• Scaling career and educational pathways for young adults 16-24 years old who are neither working nor in school
• Convening stakeholders with the goal of coordinating and connecting services
• Raising awareness of the issue of young adult disconnection and solutions underway, and
• Elevating the voice and experiences of young adults to expand access to and improve services.

Position Summary

The Manager of Data & Analytics will assist in cultivating an enhanced data culture among the ACAM departments and the GHOYC network. This position will optimize the collection, management, and analytics of GHOYC and public opportunity youth related data to generate actionable insights, support data-driven decision making, and increase visibility of the impact of supporting opportunity youth across the Greater Houston Region.
