The Network Evaluator also conducts evaluation of SSCC initiatives, provider development strategies, network interventions, service improvement efforts, procurement strategies, and pilot projects to assess implementation, effectiveness, and outcomes. The role supports forecasting, early warning indicators, predictive analytics, and risk stratification tools that help anticipate provider network risks, placement capacity needs, service gaps, utilization trends, and emerging performance concerns.
Primary Responsibilities:

  • Provide guidance to subcontractors by creating visual and written data related to quarterly outcome measures (e.g., dashboards, summary reports, presentations).
  • Translate complex data into clear, actionable insights that support data-informed decision-making across the network.
  • Present findings to agency stakeholders, as requested.
  • Support the procurement process by drafting RFAs, RFPs, Purchased Client Services opportunities, and other procurement or funding materials, and assessing proposals.
  • Help define measurable outcomes, performance expectations, reporting requirements, and evaluation standards within procurement documents.
  • Use evaluation findings, service gap analyses, provider readiness data, utilization trends, child and family needs, and leadership priorities to inform procurement and funding recommendations.
  • Support the development of forecasting models, early warning indicators, and predictive analytics to anticipate risks and strengthen network planning.
  • Ensure that the procurement process is transparent, fair, and compliant with all relevant regulations.
  • Assess the performance and outcomes of awardees to determine whether funding and procurement strategies are producing the intended impact.
  • Develop and review compliance reports to ensure subcontractors meet required credentialing and licensure requirements.
  • Create and maintain reports on required trainings for case workers, supervisors, caregivers, and other staff to support the attainment of safety, permanency, and well-being for children in their care.
  • Collaborate with agency partners to help ensure compliance with state and federal regulations and SSCC policies.
  • Own assigned evaluation, forecasting, and procurement-related projects end-to-end, from planning the analysis to producing recommendations and presenting results.
  • Work independently and proactively, managing time and priorities to meet strict deadlines with a high degree of accountability.
  • Uphold the confidentiality of the agency's client and business information.
  • Follow funder and agency policies and requirements with accuracy and attention to detail.
  • Foster strong, professional relationships with key stakeholders and ensure transparent, timely communication to enhance service delivery and promptly address issues identified through evaluation and monitoring.
