Overview

DevTech is looking for a Technical Data Analyst to work as an institutional contractor on its Analytics, Data, Visualization, and Information Services (ADVISE) contract with the United States Agency for International Development (USAID).  ADVISE staff comprise much of the USAID Data Services team, led by USAID’s Chief Data Officer (CDO) and situated in USAID’s Bureau for Management, Office of the Chief Information Officer (M/CIO). The Data Services team's main purpose is to improve the usage of data and information at USAID, so that the Agency continues to ensure its development outcomes are supported by evidence. Data Services’ work spans the “data lifecycle,” including planning, collection, cleaning, analysis, curation, reporting, and governance. 

USAID Data Services’ core values are:

• We are passionate, ambitious and care deeply about our work and the USAID mission.
• We are serious about meeting the needs of our customers.
• We are funny. We have fun. And we are human.
• We communicate and close feedback loops.
• We are proactive. We do not wait for success to come find us.
• We are a team who is committed to each other.

 In keeping with these core values, we respect and encourage an inclusive and diverse environment in which we see our differences as strengths. We are a team of motivated and responsible self-starters that enjoy working in a team-oriented environment. We are always looking for ways to grow, through feedback, learning, and collaboration.

The Technical Data Analyst position will be fully remote until USAID returns to in-person work when deemed safe to do so. At least 30 days' notice will be provided prior to the return to in-person work in Washington, D.C. When USAID returns to in-person work, the Technical Data Analyst will be eligible for telework benefits (one day per week) after 3 months of work.

The Technical Data Analyst will work with our clients, supporting multiple modernization efforts.  Our team works with the CIO, CDO, architects, other software developers, IT specialists, AI specialists, data scientists and analysts, economists, all of whom collaborate to transform the way our clients collect, analyze and use data to make informed decisions through fact-based evidence.
