NYC Data #51: Prophet, Rockstar Games, Obfuscating ISP Data, Digital Privacy Workshop, Congressional Budget Office, Outcome Health, A+E, NYC Data Reporting
Hi friends: lots of new stuff this week. I'm also posting a job in DC for the first time, but I don't know if I'll do more like this. Let me know if there's more interest in other east coast jobs, or if you'd rather I keep this strictly NYC-only.
Junior Roles
Our friends at Outcome Health are looking for a Business Analyst to join their Data Science team. Mike is a terrific guy who I previously worked with, and I'd really recommend working with him to anyone.
NYC's Office of Data Reporting & Analysis is looking for Project Managers to perform analyses of legislative proposals, like Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) and other welfare programs. To apply, go to the city's abysmal jobs site and search for job 273602.
Mid-Level Roles
A+E networks (A&E, Lifetime, History Channel, etc) reached out to let me know that they're looking for a Digital Analytics Manager. Let me know if you apply, I'll put in a good word.
Rockstar Games is looking for a Senior Data Engineer.
This isn't NYC, but the Congressional Budget Office is hiring at Data Viz Specialist.
