Technical Writer & Process Improvement Analyst
A NYC government agency located in Long Island City, NY is seeking a dynamic and detail-oriented Technical Writer & Process Improvement Analyst to join its team. This role blends strong documentation expertise with a keen ability to analyze and improve organizational processes. The ideal candidate will work cross-functionally with all IT teams to gather, document, and analyze current policies and procedures, identifying opportunities to enhance efficiency and effectiveness.
Pay Rate Range : $32-$42 W2, depending on experience
Overview The agency is embarking on a data modernization initiative to accelerate its data strategy. During the COVID-19 pandemic, data was the lifeblood of the agency’s response to making informed, data‑driven decisions and policies that directly impact the lives of New Yorkers. These included operational data in our vaccination campaign at the Vaccine Hubs, distribution strategy throughout the city’s vaccine infrastructure, and health equity data breaking down lab tests, positive cases, hospitalizations, deaths, and vaccination rates by age, place, and race.
The initiative focuses on moving from siloed and brittle public health data systems to connected, resilient, adaptable, and sustainable systems. It is not just about technology, but also about putting the right people, processes, and policies in place. Key areas include data collection, storage, processing (including transformation, standardization, matching, deduplication), data integration and exchange, data analysis, and data reporting and visualization.
The DMI initiative will build foundational technology capabilities within the Division of Information Technology, increasing capacity, knowledge, and experience with Azure cloud technologies and tying these into the broader NYC cloud and cybersecurity infrastructure within a public health context.
