Job description

Governor's Office of Workforce and Education Strategy

Atlanta, Georgia (Hybrid)

The division already has strong quantitative capacity. The person we are looking for has a specific kind of mind. What we need is someone who can take research questions, set of tables and charts, and statutory framework and turn them into a document that tells the data story, what it means in the context of Georgia education law and policy, and what the state of Georgia should consider. That requires someone who can read data confidently, who understands policy and legal frameworks deeply enough to connect findings to the right context, and who writes with precision and clarity under scrutiny. Data without narrative is just numbers. Policy without evidence is just opinion. The analyst we are hiring is the person who brings those two things together and makes them mean something.
