Policy Data Analyst

Recidiviz’s policy team supports state Department of Corrections (DOC) leaders that want to rewrite old policies or implement new ones, rooted in evidence and analytics, to improve outcomes, increase public safety and community health, and drive meaningful changes. They tailor data analysis, built on detailed DOC data, to answer questions like: What combination of criteria best select for probation clients who are safe to discharge? The Policy Data Analysts work with diverse data to develop the policy analyses that deepen their understanding of the criminal justice system and motivate policy change. They translate policy concepts into quantitative metrics and perform analyses. Core responsibilities include exploring datasets, contextualizing findings, and collaborating with teams to drive impact across the states. Travel of approximately one week per quarter may be required.
