Position Overview:

The Financial Systems & Data Analyst is a key driver in our mission to modernize, automate, and scale our financial and grant reporting processes. This role blends data analytics, systems integration, and process improvement to ensure our teams have the tools, insights, and workflows they need to make confident, timely decisions.

You will design and maintain Power BI dashboards that track budgets, deadlines, and program outcomes, automate time-consuming reporting processes, and integrate multiple systems so data flows seamlessly across the organization. You will also explore emerging AI capabilities to identify practical ways to enhance efficiency, accuracy, and insight across our finance and grants operations.

In addition, this position provides direct, hands-on support for multiple contractually required federal and state grant reports throughout the year. These reports demand advanced data mining, clarification, and analysis to ensure compliance and to help programs meet key performance metrics. You will work across platforms such as EHR, Power BI, Excel, Visualizations, and grant-specific systems, identifying the origin of data discrepancies and developing solutions so reports reliably reflect the scope and impact of our services. Examples of these high-impact reports include HRSA UDS, IHS GPRA, and CareOregon PCPM.
