Are you seeking a meaningful opportunity to apply analytics in practical and innovative ways to improve Cancer Care? The Cancer Surveillance & Reporting team is currently looking for a Senior Analyst to join our dedicated Cancer Care team. As a Senior Analyst, you will play a pivotal role in supporting data-informed decision-making across program areas, public health initiatives, and clinical research.

In addition to statistical analysis, you will lead the design and planning of evaluation studies, collaborating with clinical teams and subject matter experts to ensure that analyses are both meaningful and actionable. You will regularly communicate insights through presentations, dashboards, and written reports, making strong communication skills and the ability to tailor messaging to non-technical audiences essential.
