Children International is a $145 million international humanitarian organization working to eradicate poverty around the world. At CI, we believe that every child matters and that it is simply unacceptable that over a billion children live in poverty. The CI approach is to invest in our kids and youth to grow up healthy, educated, employed and empowered to break the cycle of poverty and become positive agents of change in their communities.
Children International is seeking a proven professional to utilize statistical and data science techniques to uncover strategic insights from our data. The Statistician/Predictive Modeler role represents the key position for creating statistical models, segmentations, forecasts and other advanced analytics solutions for the organization. We believe that the dramatic growth of our mission can only happen through people, and this role serves as a key capacity to maximize our fundraising effectiveness and to help improve field and operational programs.
In this influential position, you will discover that we address global poverty at the root cause level by working directly with children and youth around the world. We believe that children and youth are the single best answer to breaking the cycle of poverty, especially generational poverty. Our approach is far more than poverty alleviation. We focus on developing and delivering programs based on four pillars: health, education, empowerment and employment. This holistic approach, delivered in community centers around the world by an amazing team, really works.
Today, Children International directly invests in more than 260,000 children and youth in 10 countries around the world. In addition, about 1,400 mission-driven employees around the world and about 8,000 volunteers help our kids overcome poverty. The person we are seeking as our Statistician/Predictive Modeler will help grow the base of constituents and optimize the effectiveness of programs we execute so we can deliver on our goal of directly serving 1 million children and youth by 2025.
The work Children International does on behalf of children in poverty is funded primarily through a one-to-one sponsorship model. We are transforming our funding model to dramatically increase the support we give our kids. Additionally, we are taking our programs from good to great — and in order to reach our goal of the number of kids we serve by 2025, we need to elevate all of our people systems and practices worldwide. That’s where you come in.
The Statistician/Predictive Modeler will be responsible for developing data insights through the combination of statistical modeling and data mining. The Statistician/Predictive Modeler will establish strong partnerships with individuals in IT, Marketing, Operations and Global Programs to help solve complex business problems. We are looking for an extraordinary individual with a proven track record of using advanced statistical techniques to provide fact-based, data-driven recommendations to business leaders.
This position is critical to the future of Children International. It promises to be challenging — but you’ll see the reward of the job in the eyes of the youth who graduate from our programs, and in the gratitude of the employees who have grown and developed to make it happen. If your heart is beating a little faster at this point, you could be the person we are looking for.
