POSITION DESCRIPTION
JSI seeks a qualified Data Analyst for the USAID Cure Tuberculosis 2 (Cure TB 2) Activity in the Kyrgyz Republic. This is a five-year USAID-funded cooperative agreement to build on the existing strengths of the National TB Program to accomplish lasting change through proven approaches such as interrupting TB transmission in communities, scaling up of prevention interventions, increasing TB case finding and ensuring all people with TB successfully complete treatment to stop spreading the disease. These interventions will be underpinned by a strengthened, more resilient and sustainable health system to address the main social drivers of the TB epidemic in the Kyrgyz Republic. A multiplier effect of strengthening future public health pandemic preparedness and readiness will be achieved by strengthening the platforms and models for effective and equitable TB service delivery in the country.

The Senior Data Analyst will lead the strategic efforts to improve the USAID Cure TB 2 Project’s data collection, processing, and analysis activities, with the goal of enhancing data-driven decision-making and strengthening health systems. The Senior Data Analyst will be responsible for overseeing key data initiatives, developing advanced tools for monitoring and reporting, and building the technical capacity of project teams and National TB Program staff. This role requires a deep understanding of health data systems and the ability to translate complex data into actionable insights for improving TB prevention, diagnosis, and care. The Senior Data Analyst will be instrumental in comprehensive analyses of project and national indicators and epidemiological data, working closely with technical, program management, and monitoring teams. The Senior Data Analyst will report directly to the Strategic Information (SI) Director.
