The City of Stockton is seeking to fill an Administrative Analyst II position in the Community Services Department. This position will play a key role in advancing data-informed decision making across Recreation, Library, and administrative operations.
The Community Services Department is seeking an individual that will support the development, analysis, and continuous improvement of departmental performance metrics, programs, and services. The incumbent will be responsible for collecting, cleaning, analyzing, and interpreting data from a variety of sources, and translating that information into clear, actionable insights for leadership.
