Job Summary

Program Analyst, Sr – QUERI

 

Aptive Resources is seeking a Senior Program Analyst to support the Department of Veterans Affairs Office of Research and Development (ORD) Quality Enhancement Research Initiative (QUERI), under the Field Enterprise Research Support Services contract.

 

The role supports QUERI's implementation science, quality improvement, and program evaluation portfolio by developing and executing processes for measuring, synthesizing, and reporting on project impacts, and by managing the administrative infrastructure — databases, information collection tools, file repositories, and standard operating procedures — that support oversight of funded projects.

 

This position supports QUERI's mission in furtherance of the Foundations for Evidence-based Policymaking Act of 2018 by applying implementation science and quality improvement knowledge to the measurement and synthesis of program and project impacts at an organizational level. The successful candidate will demonstrate the ability to independently manage administrative processes, apply artificial intelligence tools, including Claude, to problem-solving and process improvement, and support program-level decision-making through analysis and recommendations within a complex, matrixed research organization.

 

This is a 100% remote position. Full-time (40 hours/week).

  • Develop and execute processes for measuring, synthesizing, and reporting on the impacts of implementation science, quality improvement, and program evaluation projects, in support of the Foundations for Evidence-based Policymaking Act of 2018.

  • Perform database management, data analysis, and data visualization using tools such as REDCap and Excel to support tracking and reporting.
  • Prepare program-level reports, summaries, and analyses related to implementation science and quality improvement project activities.
  • Coordinate with program leadership and stakeholders across a complex, matrixed research organization to ensure timely and accurate processing of requests and deliverables.
  • Communicate clearly and professionally with internal and external stakeholders to resolve issues, ensure data accuracy, and support program objectives.

Minimum Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in business administration, public administration, health administration, public health, research, data science, or a related field.
  • 8+ years of experience supporting program management or program analysis in a complex organization.
  • Working knowledge of implementation science and quality improvement theories, models, and frameworks (e.g., CFIR, RE-AIM), including metrics and measurement of impacts and outcomes at an organizational level.
  • Demonstrated hands-on experience using generative AI tools, specifically Claude, in project management, portfolio analysis, or quality/process improvement work, with specific examples of outcomes or impact.
  • Demonstrated ability to independently manage tasks, prioritize workstreams, and contribute to program-level operations with minimal oversight.
  • Demonstrated experience with database management, data analysis, and data visualization, including tools such as REDCap and Excel.
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office tools, including Microsoft Excel (e.g., data management, formulas), Microsoft Teams, and SharePoint.
  • Strong attention to detail and ability to manage multiple tasks and deadlines.
  • Effective written and verbal communication skills.
  • Ability to work independently in a remote environment while managing assigned tasks and deadlines.
