Data Analyst II

Data Analyst

Turn data and lived experience into insights that strengthen outcomes for youth.

Just in Time for Foster Youth (JIT) is looking for a Data Analyst to help us understand and communicate the impact of our work. Reporting to the Director of Impact Measurement, this role blends qualitative research, data analysis, and storytelling to elevate youth voice and help teams make informed decisions.

You’ll go beyond the numbers—listening to experiences, identifying meaningful themes, and translating what you learn into insights that help JIT strengthen programs and inspire others to connect with our mission.

What You’ll Do

• Design and facilitate interviews, focus groups, listening sessions, and other qualitative research.
• Develop coding frameworks and conduct thematic analysis.
• Translate youth experiences and research findings into actionable insights and recommendations.
• Integrate qualitative findings with quantitative data to tell a more complete story of impact.
• Partner across teams to understand data within the context of programs and youth experiences.
• Create reports, visualizations, and compelling narratives for internal and external audiences.
• Collect, clean, organize, and maintain data while protecting sensitive information.
• Use platforms such as Salesforce, Qualtrics, Formstack, and Omatic to support measurement and reporting.
• Ensure evaluation practices are trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and youth-centered.

What You’ll Bring

• Bachelor’s degree in data analytics, social science research, public policy, evaluation, or a related field.
• 5+ years of related experience.
• Experience designing and conducting qualitative research, including interviews and focus groups.
• Strong qualitative coding, thematic analysis, and research synthesis skills.
• Experience with data cleaning, analysis, visualization, and reporting.
• Ability to turn complex data and lived experiences into clear, engaging stories and strategic insights.
• Experience with CRM platforms; Salesforce experience is a plus.
• Proficiency with Microsoft 365.
• Strong communication, presentation, collaboration, and problem-solving skills.

Who You Are

You’re curious, thoughtful, and comfortable asking deeper questions. You can move between data and human stories, seeing patterns others may miss and communicating them in ways that make people pay attention. You value collaboration and understand the importance of approaching youth experiences with care, respect, and authenticity.

Our Values

At JIT, how we achieve results matters as much as the results themselves. Our work is grounded in Authenticity, Collaboration, Inclusion, Innovation, Inquiry, Inspiration, and Ownership.
