Easy ApplySr. Data Scientist - Evaluation Agenda Manager (N383)
Senior data scientist job in Los Angeles, CA
Salary Range: $9,333.00 - $12,576.46 Monthly
Housing for Health (HFH) is a program office within Community Programs, a division under the Los Angeles County Department of Health Services (DHS). HFH was created and put into implementation in support of the Los Angeles County Homeless Initiative recommendations in response to and in support of the County's effort to address and combat homelessness in the communities residing within Los Angeles County. Our organization follows a hybrid work structure where employees work both remotely and from the office, as needed.
On November 5, 2024, LA County voters approved Measure A, a ballot initiative to implement a half-cent sales tax to fund homelessness solutions. Measure A is expected to generate over $1 Billion annually in perpetuity, 1.25% of which is distributed to Accountability, Data, and Research. Among the required research activities is the establishment and management of an Annual Evaluation Agenda (AEA), which will produce internal and external evaluations to test the causal impact of Measure A investments on desired outcomes. Those evaluations will include third-party evaluators selected through requests for proposals and must include voices with relevant lived experience. They are intended to shape decision-making around Measure A investments and drive continuous improvement and innovation.
The Evaluation Agenda Manager reports to the Director of Data Analytics and Evaluation at Community Programs and is responsible for managing the AEA and the evaluations connected to it. For an evaluation professional, this is an opportunity for large, measurable impact to improve the lives of Los Angeles County's most vulnerable people. The Measure A AEA represents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to improve how the County uses millions of dollars dedicated to housing people and preventing homelessness. With equity, accountability, and innovation at its core, the agenda will shape how Los Angeles County learns from its investments, adapts its strategies, and delivers on its promise to address homelessness systemically and transparently.
This role requires an experienced, strategic project manager with a strong understanding of quantitative and qualitative evaluation design, causal inference methodology, contracting processes, and public sector stakeholder engagement and communication.

Manage the planning, scheduling, and facilitation of community and stakeholder engagement processes, including executive governance bodies, County departments and agencies, community-based organizations, and people with lived experience of homelessness.
Drive forward the publication of the AEA, helping bring together diverse recommendations for its direction, develop actionable research questions and research strategies in response to community and leadership input, and prioritize questions around a timeline and roadmap for implementation.
Support the procurement and management of evaluation contracts: draft requests for proposals, scopes of work, monitor deliverables, provide technical feedback on interim deliverables (such as analysis plans and draft reports) to contractors, escalate issues when needed.
Track and report on progress across multiple ongoing evaluations, synthesizing findings and presenting updates to leadership and the community. These summaries of findings should identify pathways for action and impact to improve system performance.
Coordinate the development and execution of Data Sharing Agreements (DSAs), Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs), Institutional Review Board (IRB) reliance agreements, and other legal and institutional agreements required for evaluation work.
Draft, revise, and publish version-controlled evaluation agenda documents annually, in collaboration with evaluation staff, contractors, and external stakeholders.
Contribute to the design and oversight of internal evaluation initiatives.
Ensure that all evaluation work reflects Measure A principles of equity, transparency, accountability, and innovation.
