  • Provision of a wide variety of mental health and substance use services including prevention services, community response (such as crisis services, and diversion services for criminal-legal system engagement), and treatment services.

Job Duties
To be considered minimally qualified applicant must demonstrate a background that provides the knowledge, skills and ability to:
Advance Strategic Direction for Measurement and Evaluation Work
  • Direct and coordinate the performance measurement, business intelligence, and evaluation activities of King County's Behavioral Health and Recovery Division.
  • Work closely with BHRD to ensure a vision for measurement and evaluation across BHRD is integrated into broader divisional strategy and work planning.
  • Systematically identify measurement and evaluation needs within BHRD, and advocate for appropriate projects and methods to address those needs. This could include activities like generating and aligning on learning agenda questions; identifying opportunities for evaluations or pilot studies; supporting translation of strategic measurement priorities into implementation.
  • Expand opportunities to conduct evaluative work, including exploring and understanding different models for evaluation such as in-house evaluation, contracts with external vendors, or academic-public partnerships.
  • Identify opportunities for greater system-level measurement and aggregation that spans the entire BHRD portfolio of programs, including alignment with departmental products (such as the DCHS Dashboard). Identify opportunities to align with a standard approach that uses a Results-Based Accountability framework.
  • Develop and hold broad-ranging subject matter expertise about the publicly-funded behavioral health system, to identify synergies and opportunities for measurement coordination and collaboration across the team and execute systems-level projects that do not narrowly fit into a single body of work.
  • Manage procurement and oversight of evaluation partners / vendors, exercising delegated contracting and budget authority to a set threshold and coordinating with BHRD and DCHS leadership for investments exceeding that threshold.
  • Drive towards the application of racial equity and social justice lens across a wide variety of projects and work products.

Deliver High Quality Performance Measurement and Reporting
  • Work closely with BHRD partners and PME staff to scope measurement and evaluation projects that are high-quality, feasible, appropriately supported with BHRD and PME expertise, and fit for purpose.
  • Ensure BHRD's needs for timely data support are met while allowing time for a response that is efficient, replicable, and well-documented for the future. This may include triage and response to urgent, high-visibility requests for data (such as from the media, elected officials, etc.).

  • Oversee the development and maintenance of dashboards, blog posts, white papers, and other data products to monitor performance and equity impacts and engage providers and program staff in data-informed continuous quality improvement.
  • Direct the analysis and interpretation of quantitative and qualitative data using appropriate methods and data manipulation tools. Provide leadership and guidance (or delegation) as needed, including guiding study design, selecting analytic approaches, and advising on the interpretation of complex mixed-methods findings.
  • Identify key findings, interpret results, and develop/maintain data visualizations that highlight meaningful data to inform strategic decision-making, continuous quality improvement, and evaluations.
  • Oversee production of briefing papers, presentations, and reports from technically complex analyses that effectively communicate results to a wide variety of stakeholders.

  • Understand and effectively communicate complex data, dashboards, and evaluation findings to a diverse group of decision-makers without use of technical jargon so issues can be escalated, mitigated, and addressed.

Lead and Support a Highly Technical Team
  • Manage a team of 15-20 staff, including 3 manager-level direct reports (who supervise evaluators, data engineers, and data scientists). Oversee task delegation, ongoing staff development, and performance management for the full team, whose work is primarily in SQL, R, Tableau, and Git/GitHub.
  • Manage the HR and administrative activities needed to sustain a strong and adaptable team, including recruitment and backfilling, refining team structure and role responsibilities, managing performance appraisals and timesheet approvals, and supporting staff with HR processes and problem solving.
  • Ensure team capacity and workflow alignment to meet immovable audit, reporting, and Council-mandated deadlines. As needed, advocate for more resources / staffing to meet business needs and/or re-prioritize team workload in partnership with BHRD.
  • Foster a team culture that both delivers high-quality work products and upholds core team values, including: creating a supportive person-centered environment, fostering learning and growth, operating with candor and respect, supporting individual autonomy, fostering collaboration and teamwork, and orienting our work to the mission and context.
  • Facilitate and develop team processes and procedures to create systems that support efficient, reliable, replicable, and collaborative workflows (both technical, such as code reviews, and operational, such as work planning or cross-training). Ensure all team members are equipped with the skills, knowledge, and tools to adopt common strategies.

  • Work closely with BHRD's Executive Leadership Team to work plan for measurement and evaluation needs across the entire division. This includes balancing competing demands and staying aligned on how work is prioritized.

  • Contribute to the development of a cohesive unit-wide culture and shared work processes in the Performance Measurement and Evaluation Unit, as a member of the PME Senior Leadership Team.

Develop and Maintain Key Relationships and Partnerships
  • Work in partnership with BHRD Leadership to understand strategic vision and direction and support the PME team in proactively anticipating and meeting needs.
  • Participate in regular BHRD meetings, including the BHRD Management Team, BHRD-PME work planning and prioritization meetings, and coordination with the BHRD data systems leadership and teams. This may also include periodically attending committees or meetings specific to certain workstreams, and other ad hoc workgroups as assigned. Some committee involvement may be delegated as appropriate.
  • Identify opportunities for cross-unit collaboration, learning, or synchronization of measurement and evaluation projects within the Performance Measurement and Evaluation unit, as a member of the PME Senior Leadership Team.
  • Stay abreast of changes and developments within King County, DCHS, and BHRD and anticipate their impact on performance measurement and evaluation needs.
  • Coordinate with other DCHS divisions, other King County partner agencies, and external researchers and evaluators regarding evaluation, data analysis, and data integration activities.
