About The Position

We are seeking a Business Insights Manager to help CEDP make data-driven decisions and raise funding for critical programming. In this role, your focus will be on short-term, high-impact analyses and business development projects with a bias toward measuring program outcomes and discovering, sizing, and implementing new revenue opportunities for CEDP.
