What you will do!

The primary purpose of this position is to lead a team of mid- to upper-level professional staff to ensure strategic management of agency data assets. This will be done through the cultivation of effective partnerships across the health and human service enterprise. This position will require the development and execution of comprehensive data strategies which align with organizational objectives. The manager is expected to nurture partnerships both inside and outside of the agency to identify data for acquisition, integration and utilization.

The person in this position will collaborate closely with internal teams including teams from the Office of Health Analytics and the Office of Information Services. They will work with these partners to highlight where actionable insights can and cannot be derived from existing data; assess emerging technologies; and ensure the availability of data to the right users at the right time.

Across all efforts, this position will continuously evaluate business needs and capabilities to optimize data strategies, improve the maturity of the agency’s use of data, and demonstrate the agency’s progress toward eliminating health inequities.

This position is situated in the Office of Data Strategy and Operations and will lead the Data and Strategy Partnerships team. The Office of Data Strategy and Operations, under direction of the Agency Data Strategy and Operations Director, partners across Oregon Heath Authority (OHA) to promote, elevate, and align equity in OHA service delivery using data and technological systems. Modernizing data and systems is a cross-Agency core need. Both play critical roles in analyzing progress on equity goals and are used to inform, integrate with, and improve other Agency program work toward OHA's 2030 goal of eliminating health inequities. The office is specifically focused on increasing the use of enterprise-wide (OHA and ODHS) data and technology solutions, improving cross-divisional collaboration, and promoting communication and transparency through the connection of agency systems and data.

The office currently encompasses three units: the Data Strategy and Partnerships Team, the Compass Team and the Business Systems Unit. 

OHA values service excellence, leadership, integrity, health equity and partnership and has a strategic goal to end all health inequities by 2030.

The OHA mission is helping people and communities achieve optimum physical, mental, and social well-being through partnership, prevention and access to quality, affordable health care. OHA’s work is organized into three broad goals: Improve the lifelong health of all Oregonians, increase the quality, reliability, and availability of care for all Oregonians and lower or contain the cost of care so it is affordable to everyone.
