Pay Competitive Employment type: Full-Time Job Description

Req#: 5539 Mathematica applies expertise at the intersection of technology, data, methods, policy, and practice to improve well-being around the world. We collaborate closely with public- and private-sector partners to translate big questions into deep insights that improve programs, refine strategies, and enhance understanding using technology and advanced analytics. Our work yields actionable information to guide decisions in wide-ranging policy areas, from health, education, early childhood, and family support to nutrition, employment, disability, and international development. Mathematica offers our employees competitive salaries and a comprehensive benefits package, as well as the advantages of being 100 percent employee-owned. As an employee stock owner, you will experience financial benefits of ESOP holdings that have increased in tandem with the company’s growth and financial strength. You will also be part of an independent, employee-owned firm that is able to define and further our mission, enhance our quality and accountability, and steadily grow our financial strength. We seek an experienced technology and data analytics leader who can drive business development for technology and data analytics offerings across our client areas including family support, education, child welfare, nutrition, employment, and criminal justice. Mathematica’s digital and technology work is growing rapidly, and we are looking for someone who can further expand the growth of our portfolio of technology and data analytics projects. The successful candidate will be a senior member within the Human Services business unit and lead engagements with federal, state, local, and foundation clients. The following are some of our key offerings and recent projects: Grants performance management systems:

Design, develop, implement, and maintain cloud-based web applications to collect, transform, analyze, and report grantee performance measures.

Example project: For the U. S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Office of Population Affairs we are using Amazon Web Services (AWS) native tools to design a data collection and reporting system to ingest patient encounters from Family Planning providers and conduct data quality checks, summary statistics, and data analysis via a dashboard.

Data warehouses:

Design, develop, and implement standards for data architecture, management, processing, integration, governance, and reporting and ensure the standards are applied throughout the projects.

Example project: For the HHS, Office of Planning, Research, and Evaluation we are operating a cloud data warehouse, enabling analytic reporting and predictive modeling that leverages administrative and survey data sources in support of program evaluation and data-driven decision-making.

Predictive/advanced analytics:

The use of techniques such as machine learning, natural language processing, and Bayesian statistics to discover hidden patterns in data or make predictions about new observations based on prior data.

Example project: For HHS, Mathematica developed machine learning models to predict participation in healthy marriage and responsible fatherhood program activities. Example project: Mathematica has supported the Department of Agriculture, Food and Nutrition Services (FNS) for more than 30 years by conducting simulations of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP, formerly called Food Stamps) to estimate how changes in program policies, eligibility rules, and demographics will impact benefits, costs, eligibility, and participation.

Websites and information dissemination products:

Mathematica develops and maintains websites for federal agencies, including the What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) for the U.S. Department of Education and the Home Visiting Evidence of Effectiveness and Pathways to Work Evidence Clearinghouses for HHS. Website development includes user experience testing and monitoring. Websites are interactive allowing users to submit queries that draw from underlying databases.
