TITLE: Data Specialist
POSITION OVERVIEW:
Are you the kind of person who loves digging into the details but also can't help noticing how the whole system could run more smoothly? Portland Public Schools is seeking a Data Specialist who takes pride in maintaining accurate, trustworthy data and providing responsive, high-quality support to school partners and district departments. This is a hands-on role--running audits, preparing reports, troubleshooting issues, and answering data requests--where your reliability and attention to detail help ensure staff have the information they need to support students effectively.
At the same time, this position offers the chance to think beyond individual tasks and help shape more efficient, human-centered data systems and processes. You'll design surveys, forms, and workflows that reduce burden, improve accuracy, and make it easier for staff, students, and families to provide the information we need. Strengthening data quality across the district ensures that educators and leaders can make informed decisions that contribute to more equitable outcomes.
If you're detail-oriented, collaborative, and energized by helping others succeed, this role offers the opportunity to cultivate strong relationships, improve district systems, and ensure that data meaningfully supports the work happening every day in service of students across Portland Public Schools.
This year-round position includes a generous benefits package, including 20 annual vacation days and full health and dental benefits. The salary range for this position is $70,000-$90,000.
