POSITION: Director, Data for Equity

The COVID-19 pandemic has cast a stark light on the profound health disparities in NYC. Key to understanding these disparities is the need for high quality data that can help to better identify populations and communities disproportionately affected by COVID-19 and evaluate the effectiveness of advancing health equity to address COVID-19-related health disparities among disproportionately affected populations.

The Data for Equity initiative, first established in 2018, is strengthening the agency’s ability to use data to expose, understand, and address health inequities in New York City, and developing approaches that will support agency staff that work with data at all junctures of the data lifecycle from data collection to decision making for policy and program implementation, to apply an intersectional, anti-racist equity lens to their work.

• Ability to build strong relationships with teammates, partners, and specialists by fostering teamwork, partnership and collaboration in a virtual or face-to-face environment. 
• Social justice orientation, with track record of work that is anti-racist, anti-colonial, intersectional, inclusive, and reflective.
