WHAT WE DO

In the United States, too few students can access effective, high-performing public schools. At City Fund, we work to increase educational opportunities for students and families by partnering with city and state leaders to create innovative public school systems. We believe that public schools do best when educators have the power to make decisions that meet the diverse needs of their students, families are provided the information and access to choose the best schools for their children, and schools are held accountable for helping all students succeed.

City Fund provides financial support and expertise to local leaders seeking to improve educational opportunities in their cities. We support 23 cities across the country and hope to eventually reach most American cities. We focus on supporting:

High quality, innovative K-12 schools with nonprofit governing structures and diverse leadership
City leaders, including civic leaders and nonprofits that are working to build innovative public education systems and reflect the students and families they serve
Advocacy organizations that build the political power of families to shape education in ways that work for them

ABOUT THE ROLE

We're seeking an exceptional Data Director to lead our data systems, analytics, and reporting strategy. In this role, you'll build upon and optimize our data infrastructure—ensuring we have accurate, accessible information to drive decision-making and demonstrate impact across our education portfolio. You'll translate complex data into compelling stories for board members, funders, and partners while building systems that support organizational learning and growth. You’ll work in close partnership with the VP of Learning and Evaluation and the VP of Seats and Strategy to ensure we have the data we need to measure our progress to goals, inform our strategic decisions, and drive our learning agenda.

This is an opportunity to shape how a mission-driven organization uses data to expand educational opportunity and improve outcomes for students across cities and states. We are looking for a detail-oriented professional with deep experience in data systems, database management, and visualization tools. The ideal candidate is a systems thinker who can build durable and scalable data assets, document them clearly, and empower others to make use of them.
