Full Job Description
The Role:
  • Use AI to do everything. You build, analyze, prototype, and clean data with the full AI toolkit (Cursor and beyond). AI isn't a side tool here - it's how one person does the work of a whole team, and how we move at the speed leadership needs.
  • Build the visualizations the network runs on. Interactive reports and dashboards that take a pile of scholar data and tell a clear story - exam results, school and teacher performance, readiness over time. The bar isn't that a chart exists; it's that someone looks at it and feels where the problem is.
  • Design the methodology underneath. Take an ambiguous question - how do we fairly rank schools that give different mixes of exams? - and build a fair, defensible way to answer it. This is the reasoning core of the job.
  • Get real data into shape. Pull the exports, point AI at the grunt work of cleaning and deduping, then QA every number against the source before it goes anywhere.
  • Distill for executives. Turn the analysis into plain-English takeaways and a recommendation. If a smart 8th grader couldn't follow it, it's not done.
  • Partner across the org. Work with the data and learning teams to get what you need, and present to senior leaders.

What we're looking for:

We care about how you think, not where you've been. Specifically:
  • Reasoning, first and foremost. You can take a vague, tangled question and turn it into a clean, structured analysis. This is the one thing we can't teach.
  • AI-native. You reach for AI tools by default and learn new ones fast.
  • Clear communicator. You can explain a complex result simply, in writing and out loud, and hold your own in a room with leaders.
  • Design instinct. A feel for simplicity and clarity - you know the difference between a busy chart and one that lands.
  • High agency, low ego. You take a problem from question to answer end-to-end, and no task is beneath you.
  • Quantitatively fluent. Comfortable in data; can teach yourself the tools and domain you don't already know.

We're deliberately open on years of experience and background - we'd rather have a sharp, fast-learning reasoner than a longer re9sume9. Non-traditional paths welcome.

Exact compensation may vary based on skills and experience. This position is not bonus eligible.
