  • Assist with data quality checks, including identifying duplicates, missing values, and inconsistencies across datasets.
  • Support data pipeline tasks such as validating outputs, documenting code logic, and assisting with light cleanup of Python notebooks.
  • Synthesize qualitative feedback and patterns from member meetings, surveys, and program interactions into structured summaries.
  • Conduct landscape research on how peer organizations handle subgrantee data reporting, metric definitions, and data collection practices.
  • Support preparation of materials for internal and external stakeholder meetings as needed.

EXPERIENCE:

  • Academic or professional experience completing data projects involving data processing, analysis, and visualization.
