About
Responsibilities
Tell the program’s operational story through analysis: translate complex findings into plain language, decision‑ready recommendations, and materials that support briefings, leadership updates, and cross‑agency coordination.
Build and maintain a small set of trusted program metrics, with clear definitions and documentation so results are consistent, explainable, and easy to use.
Identify where operations are slowing down or becoming inconsistent across locations or workflows, explain the drivers, and propose practical improvements that teams can implement.
Forecast volume and workload needs and translate those forecasts into planning inputs (for example, staffing needs, processing capacity, and timelines) that support responsible program expansion.
Evaluate the impact of operational or policy changes using sound methods that fit real‑world constraints, explain what changed, why it mattered, and what should happen next.
Create simple, durable tools and recurring reports (for example, performance trackers, workload views, early‑warning indicators) that reduce manual work and help teams manage the program at scale.
Write efficient SQL to pull and combine data from multiple systems and develop reliable automated datasets that reduce one‑off reporting and improve data freshness.
Use Python and/or R to build reusable analytical workflows (for example, forecasting, anomaly detection, segmentation), with clear documentation of assumptions and limitations.

Preferred Skills
Strong writing and presentation skills, including experience explaining quantitative work to non‑technical audiences and advocating for data‑informed recommendations.
Significant experience delivering applied analytics in complex operational or public‑facing environments, including framing questions, conducting analysis, and influencing decisions through clear communication.
Advanced SQL proficiency and experience working with large datasets from multiple sources, navigating messy data, and defining metrics that can be trusted.
Familiarity with transportation operations, street safety, enforcement programs, or Vision Zero‑oriented work; experience in citywide stakeholder environments is a plus.
