The Data Engineer supports and monitors data management processes within the communications métier to enable evidence-based decisions and improvements in the area of data entry, quality, support and analytics. S/he is part of a three-person team and reports to the Data Analytics Manager and who as a key member of the team, will develop a global data analytics service that enables the communication team to measure communication performance, market-test communication products, understand audiences and contribute to research activities. They are responsible for drawing from a wide range of reports, dashboards and data sources to create data visualizations, written narratives and other presentations that interpret the data sources and, by adding context and relational information (e.g. past reports, institutional information and communication, operational reports) produce comprehensive and easily understood reporting.
