Job Id: 56377

Title: Data Architect

Location: 201 E Colfax Ave Denver, Colorado 80203

Duration: 24 Months

Description: The department, which houses K12 and AE data, is looking at how adult ed students fare once they graduate. In the Concurrent Enrollment arena, we are analyzing how well CE students do after completing their K12 education, how their results compare to non-CE students, etc. CDE will be combining data from the Department’s data stores with data from other agencies, e.g., Colorado Department of Labor (CDLE), Department of Higher Education (DHE), and Department of Revenue (DOR) to answer critical questions about educational outcomes. This requires close cooperation across multiple agencies in Colorado. While there is already considerable data sharing across agencies in Colorado, there are no agreed upon universal data governance protocols. Nor are there accepted standards for exactly how to document agreements between agencies for the rules around the types of data, the protection of data shared and any combined data sets that may be created. Data Governance at the state is in its infancy, so CDE is committed to developing cross-agency data governance protocols and procedures that allow the SLDS grant to succeed, but also to remain aligned with other developing statewide efforts as much as possible. For this project, CDE not only requires an individual with strong knowledge of data governance and data management best practices, but also someone familiar with statewide processes around data governance.
