Analytical support for analysis and generation of social information consultant
Background of this search:
The current fragmentation in the management of SCL's data platforms and unshared access to complementary data hamper the exploitation of economies of scale and lead to product and effort redundancies. During 2020 SCL underscored a project to reverse these processes around a centralized repository, which jointly with protocols, the definition of quality standards, cleanliness and metadata management manages to configure an institutional governance structure of the data sources used within the social sector. This tool is in the process of becoming the main channel for collecting data generated internally or obtained through understanding agreements, as well as for searching and accessing internal and external data that support the analysis.
The Social Sector is looking for a dynamic, self-motivate and detailed oriented individual with excellent technical and research skills to support the development tools for applied AI in the social sectors areas and continue the development of the SCL Data Ecosystem.
