Procurement Analyst

Program Description: The agency is embarking on a data modernization initiative to accelerate its data strategy. During the COVID-19 pandemic, data was the life blood of the agency’s response to making informed data-driven decisions and policies that directly impacts the lives of New Yorkers. These included operational data in our vaccination campaign at the Vaccine Hubs, distribution strategy throughout the city’s vaccine infrastructure, as well as health equity data breaking down lab tests, positive cases, hospitalizations, deaths, and vaccination rates by age, place, and race. With grant funding support from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), Clients is embarking on a data modernization initiative to move from siloed and brittle public health data systems to connected, resilient, adaptable, and sustainable systems. This initiative is not just about technology, but also about putting the right people, processes, and policies in place. Clients’ modernization strategy focuses on key areas in data collection, storage, processing (including transformation, standardization, matching, deduplication), data integration and exchange, data analysis and data reporting and visualization. The initiative will allow Client to build up foundational technology capabilities within the Division of Information Technology. This includes increasing capacity, knowledge, and experience with Azure cloud technologies within the broader NYC cloud and cybersecurity infrastructure and all within the context of public health. The selected candidate will be an employee of Public Health Solutions, but work will be supervised by client. This is a grant-funded position ending in November 2026.
